Art By You

The kids had a great time taking a painting class over the weekend!
This was Oliver's first class and he was beyond excited!
Claire and Giada are old pros but they were pretty excited too.
They couldn't wait to get started.
Oliver just kept saying, "I am an artist!"
He was pretty serious the entire time we were there.
Notice his concentrating face!
I love how their pictures turned out!!!  They look great! I can't wait to hang them up!

Halloween

Another Halloween has passed and it was another great one!
Right before Halloween we had a wonderful surprise!  Claire was chosen as the Kiwanis Club's Terrific Kid!  They had a big assembly at her school and we were invited to come and see Claire receive her award.  I am so proud of my girl!!!  And yes, they sent her a new award with her name spelled correctly.
After the big award it was time for the school's big Halloween bash!  This year Claire was Mal from The Descendants and Oliver was a devil.
Claire was very busy with her friends and didn't want too much to do with me this year :(
Oliver was also busy with his buddies but he was still ok with having me around.
And he took a couple of breaks to do some crafts with Grandma.  Daddy has to work and Grandma was more than happy to take Daddy's ticket for the big bash!
Oliver loved working it on the dance floor.
And he was thrilled to see his teacher, Mrs. Filsinger!
Then he took a break and took his friend Allie to a "special place". 
I did get to go into Claire's class earlier in the day to help out with her class party!  I loved every second of it!
Finally, it was Halloween night and time to trick or treat!  The Cappellis came over and we had a delicious dinner before we headed out!
The kids looked awesome!
I love these guys.
Oliver's make up looked awesome.  The design was all his idea!
Claire looked so grown up!  She had me straighten her hair and she put on a little make up.  She looked gorgeous.
 Even the Moms dressed up, a little.
The weather was beautiful and after a nice walk around the block we counted our loot!
It was another great Halloween!!!!
