Halloween

Last week, I volunteered in Layla's preschool room for her Halloween party.  I loved helping out and watching Layla at preschool.  She really seems to be doing great and enjoying school.  Ryan, my dad & Grady joined us for the Halloween Sing and Layla really shocked us and sang along with the songs and did the motions to the songs.  My money was totally on Layla being in the teacher assistant's arms.  Life with a three year old is full of surprises!

On Friday, we joined Ryan at his school for the Halloween parade.  Ryan dressed up as their school mascot with a 70's twist (every grade level had a different decade and the office staff represented the 70's) for the parade.  Layla was a little bit nervous around him so he left off the head of the costume and all was good!

After the parade, playdate!!  Aren't these mummy pizzas cute?

Halloween playdate with Layla's buddies...and mine too!

On Sunday, Ryan and I ran in our first race together.  We ran a 10K (6.2 miles) and really enjoyed it.  We didn't run fast but we did run the whole thing together.  I think we may have a new hobby! 

Time for the local festival!  Layla is loving rides these days. 

Parades are a hit too!  Layla is in the pumpkin hat and her cousins are in the purple coats.

And Grady...well, spent a part of the day looking cute as a pumpkin.   

Layla went back and forth between wanting to be a ghost and being afraid of "ghostes."
This was one of the nights where she really wanted to be a ghost.

Trick or treat time!

Poor Grady, stuffed into a Doc Band and a kangaroo costume.  He did not seem to mind one bit.

Happy Halloween 2011!!!
