Hamilton Happenings......: It's Halloween Time!

Mia and I got to stay the night at the Camas library! Everything thought I was crazy, but we had a blast!

We started the night off with some fun ice breaker games!

Pizza for dinner and new friends!

Hide and seek in the library! Who gets to do that???

Kazoo parade!

Spooky stories!

Pajama time!

There were even fun crafts to make!

Movie time! Honey I Shrunk the Kids! Totally brought me back to my childhood! We made it til almost midnight, but had to head to bed before it ended!

We could sleep anywhere in the library! Of course I chose somewhere dark, quiet and close to a restroom! Although I would have preferred lighted bathrooms!

Josiah's Walk to Remember! So glad we walked in this again last year since we had missed it that past couple of years!

Lighting our candle in memory of Josiah Anthony......almost 8 years ago....

Messages to big brother in Heaven!

Ready to take the steps that Josiah never will.....

Feeding the goat was a definite highlight!

We tried to get all 3 of the classes in one pic! Quite the challenge!

The kids loved it! Kyrie's favorite was Mickey Mouse! Mia's was the princesses of course!

We even had our special friend Eliana join us and have a slumber party, too!

Swimsuits in October?!? I loved how this month brought us unseasonably warm days! The kids had fun with water balloons and the neighbors!

Spiderman made apple pie at school today! It was delicious!

Off to Target to pick out a "Big Boy" toy!

Batmas was of course first choice!

And now to celebrate with ice cream!

This is how Kyrie slept for the first few nights without a binky.

After a few weeks of no binkies, Kyrie found one under his bed! He told me to write his name on this binky and not to give it away to anyone! Well, it's sitting in a cupboard now!

Batman found time to help out at Mia's book fair!

Maco literally talked on his new phone in the box for a month until his case came in! He seriously had a lot of people making fun of him! Hilarious!

Dress up fun with Natalie! I love how affectionate Kyrie is! He's always hugging, holding hands, or putting his arms around his friends!

My little spider did an awesome job singing! His teacher said he was talking about it all day and couldn't wait to perform!

Downtown Camas Boo Bash! Every year a couple days before Halloween, the kids get to trick-or-treat through the downtown businesses! It's a whole lot of chaos and fun!!

With all the craziness of the month, we weren't able to make it as a family to the pumpkin patch this year. So the kids and I stopped at a fun barn near George Fox and picked out some pumpkins to carve! We even managed to hit a 30 minute stretch of sun!
