Community Helpers Parade Costumes

This month at school has been Community Helper month. So the kids have had many wonderful experiences meeting our various community helpers. Parents have come in and talked about their jobs/careers, the fire department and police department came, we've read stories about all sorts of jobs, and today the kids are having a parade at school. They were to go in today dressed as what they want to be when they grow up. You could do homemade things or costumes(within the rules-no super heroes, etc). So Henry said that he wanted to be a police officer and Emma said she wanted to be a doctor. They both look absolutely fabulous! Henry was thrilled this morning to be able to go to school all dressed up as an officer. Emma was not, but I'm sure after seeing all the other kids dressed up, she'll warm up to the idea and have a great day!

Pumpkin Carving/ Jack-O-Lanterns

Henry started asking if we could carve jack-o-lanterns at about 6:30am Saturday morning. We finally(in his words) started carving around noonish. He was very excited until it was his turn to pull out the guts of his pumpkin. He tried it once and then said that it felt gross. So I dug out the guts for him and he supervised.
Emma was all for pulling the guts out of her pumpkin. They did some pumpkin carving at school last week and she brought home seeds for us to roast. So she was ready to do it again and had a blast getting all gooey!
Emma with her first finished carved pumpkin. We bought kits, the kids picked the stencil, and I carved. Emma picked the silly skeleton and cat.
Henry picked a bat perched on top of a gravestone. This is his scarey monster face! Better watch out he'll reach out and grab ya!
A little later that evening I lit them up again to see if I could get a few more pictures of the finished jack-o-lanterns. Another shot of Emma's.
And another shot of Henry's
And then the two together. Not bad for someone who has never carved pumpkins before:)

Happy Halloween!!!
