Creepy Crawler

This little guy came home with EMM from pre-k this week - eeek!!! Actually this is just about the only spider that is allowed in our house.

Scared Silly

We are fortunate to live in a neighborhood that has a lot of kids and lots of people that love to celebrate Halloween.  Every year there are several houses that we have to drive by because of the Halloween displays that they put up. At our house, we like to set out our firepit and hand out candy after we are doing going around the block ourselves.  Dad always jokes to kids about not standing too close because we had a mummy almost catch on fire once.

In the picture, EMM holds up one of the boo-tiful Halloween crafts he made at school.

An Itsy Bitsy Project

What can you do with aluminum foil, a Popsicle stick, yarn, an egg carton, and an empty paper towel roll? EMM's preschool class did something pretty cool to go along with reading the nursery rhyme "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." This spider has been climbing up his water spout over and over, and who at our house doesn't love that song?
