Happy Halloween

Mae was so darn excited to taste her first M&Ms. How do kids do it? She's had a few bank lollipops in her 5 months with us, but M&Ms? She KNEW. And she was MAD when they were all gone. Too funny.
Halloween was fun. Ted & Sam did a great job of "Twicker Tweet" and "Fank Yew" and thankfully it was cold so we weren't out too long. Mae and Daddy held down the fort at home.

We had an awesome time today at an art class. It's amazing that these things exist these days. For a $1 per child (suggested) donation, they had TONS of stuff to do. Play-doh, painting on easels, creating a hat, creating a pendant, a stamping table, a birdseed-filled sensory table (Mae's fav) and the CUTEST little 'cupcake' table. The cupcakes were clay, I think, that you painted. Then a mixture of shaving cream and glue (?!) was the frosting. You added sprinkles and a straw (for the candle) with a gold pipe cleaner in it (for the flame.) Ingenious. A little over Sam's head, but still way cute. They have a different theme every week, so I think we'll pick and choose to keep it 'cool.'

I am getting threatened right now. "You're not my friend anymore and I'm NOT going Trick or Treating with you and I'm NOT...etc etc... Yup, you guessed it; we cut the boys off of their candy. Too fun. Happy Halloween, everyone!
