Kindergarten and New Friends

P1 is thriving in kindergarten! He loves it, and he has made a new best friend. They both love Pokemon, so they have been playing together at recess. The boy's mom and I finally met, and found out the we actually live in the same neighborhood! So we started carpooling, and have wonderful new friends! They have a girl that is P2's age, and a girl that is P3's age.

When we drop P1 off at school, we are usually a little early, so we play on the playground. P3 likes to go play in the bike rack.

We had a fun play date and decorated pumpkins with our new friends.

Trick-or-Treating

For Halloween this year, P3 was an adorable Pikachu, P2 was Squirtle, and P1 was a Pokemon Trainer.

 

We made an early stop at Grandma's house:

 

 

We went trick-or-treating with our new friends from kindergarten. It was way more fun to go with friends! The kids did great! P3 did one house and then stayed home with dad. P2 was leading the pack which was a dramatic improvement from last year.  All in all, it was a great night and the kids got plenty of candy.

 

This was the adorable sight that greeted us when we came home. Pikachu waiting at the front door.

Dad did a great job at putting all of P1's pokemon in his backpack. He tied them all together with rope, which was good because Mew kept trying to fall out.

 

Excited at all the candy they brought home!

 

Pumpkins

 We had a Pokemon theme with our pumpkin carving this year. P1 was actually able to carve his own pumpkin this year. P2 and P3 mostly just colored on their pumpkins. Dad made a Pikachu or two, and I made Gengar and Haunter.

 

Preschool Halloween Party

P2 had a Halloween Party at preschool. They were able to dress up in their costumes. P2 was Squirtle, and P3 was Pikachu.

They had a cute sandwich shop that the kids loved.

 

Hammering golf tees into a pumpkin was a favorite:

Odds and Ends

Various stages of watching General Conference. I enjoyed the super hero stage:

 One of P2's best friends came over for a play date:

We had a few doctor's appointments this month. I still have a Remicade infusion every 8 weeks. We had P1's 6 year check-up, followed by an appointment for me. I also visited an urgent care and found out that I broke my big toe by stepping on a Duplo Lego 3 months ago. It kept re-bruising, so I finally went in and they found a tiny fracture. My first broken bone! But there was nothing to do except try to stay off it and let it heal.

P3 loves to watch a show in the morning with a bowl of cheerios (usually after dropping P1 and P2 off at school). But if P1 and P2 are around, then they think they need a bowl too.

P2 went to a friend's birthday party and came home with a mustache!

Still trying to figure out how to curl my hair:
