Asher in Shaving Cream Heaven!

I got a list of 100 things to do at home with a pre-schooler, and here is the first one I tried. Asher had so much fun. You take a cookie sheet and put shaving cream on it, supposed to be roads and what not, then have them drive cars through and around it. Asher decided he had a car wash on his hands and put all his cars through the car wash. All his cars are buried in the suds. Just a heads up, use shaving cream that doesn't have a strong smell, or better yet, cover your cookie sheet with tinfoil. Mine still smells like David's shaving cream.....ooops.

Trunk or Treating!

I know, it's pretty scary. But here we are on Halloween trunk or treating at the church parking lot. It's cold, so we are all bundled up. At least there wasn't any snow! We've got, starting from the left, scary vampire with bad wig, butterfly, curious george, and Fancy Nancy (grandma). All in all we had fun and got lots of candy for mommy to eat....I mean the kids. :-) Next year David says he's helping me pick out a costume. :-)

Making Halloween cupcakes

For Shira's school carnival we signed up to make cupcakes for the cake walk. We made some with oreo spiders on top, that is as creative as I get. :-)

Fall Carnival at Shira's school

Shira's school had a Fall Carnival the Saturday before Halloween and we had a blast with the kids. There were all sorts of games, a few highlighted below, and even a mechanical whale! It was so fun to watch the kids play all the games.

Here is Shira the princess butterfly & Curious George.

This is rope swing bowling. The kids both did it, much to my surprise, and knocked over all the pins with their feet.

Shira is fishing in this picture.

Here is Asher shooting pumpkins off a fence.

Both kids hit them! What talent!

Here is the mechanical whale....a very serious ride where you get bucked off.

Asher was holding on for dear life. Here is a demonstration of just how tight Asher was holding on. We couldn't stop laughing at him.
