Halloween was SO MUCH FUN. We had blizzard weather here in Colorado last week, and the kids were home from school on Wednesday and Thursday. I spent all day Thursday making their KISS costumes, and I think they came out super cute!

My kids are officially tracked off. Yesterday was their last day of 1st grade for a few weeks – they go back a few days before Halloween. I wasn’t sure how we’d like year-round school when we moved to this district, but I find that we like it a lot. And actually, this particular track-off is the one I’ve been looking forward to all year. I LOVE fall, and I’m so excited about going out and doing things while the weather is nice. Last year, during this track off, I remember having such a glorious day – we had a big nature walk and a picnic, and then I dragged all the kids to a polling place to participate in early voting! We cast our presidential ballot while eating candy corn in line. Such fun.
I’ve got lots of things I’d like to do over the next three weeks. I’m definitely planning for a zoo trip, possibly a visit to the Children’s Museum, and lots of park visits, too. I’m hoping for at least a playdate or two with some school friends, and I would love to repaint a couple of rooms here at the Casa de Chaos. I’m also considering taking the kids to a paint-your-own-pottery place. I think they’d really dig that!
For today, though, I think we’re just going to chill. We’ve already enjoyed sleeping IN for a change, and I don’t have any official plans in place. Maybe I’ll see if I can dig up some fall decorations in the garage. Is it too early to decorate for Halloween??
