Halloween

Halloween was full of fun festivities, including trick-or-treating at Mommy's work, school parties, and exploring our new neighborhood! Joey chose his costume -- a killer whale -- in August, and never wavered. Alex wasn't sure until the minute before walking out the door whether or not he'd wear his parrot costume.

Trick-or-treating at Mommy's work

 Neighborhood trick-or-treating, in the pouring rain. Good thing Daddy can rig up a beach umbrella on a wagon!

Alex couldn't wait!

We got to observe Joey's preschool class without him knowing we were there. He worked on the 'exchange game', adding 2 4-digit numbers.
