Halloween

I was able to chaperone Lola's class field trip to The Academy, an assisted living home, where the kids sang and danced to songs in their Halloween costumes, then trick-or-treated around the room. It was so cute! That afternoon was followed by the St. Als Halloween carnival, Hallowfest. When I take pictures of Lola and her friends, I imagine looking back at them when these kids are graduating from 8th grade together. I love that these kids will be in this school together for so long.

We spent the weekend before Halloween carving our pumpkins and making Gram's special Hoot Owl cookies with Nana- a fall tradition! We spent Halloween in Spokane this year, but definitely hope to get back to Seattle for trick-or-treating with the Flaherty's next year! The Huntoons invisted us to their house for chili and trick-or-treating on Manito Blvd. which was all very fun! This year, the kids were Peter Pan themed- Lola as Tinkerbell, Mac as Peter, and Hank was Tootles- the lost boy. Dan surprised the kids and showed up for trick-or-treating dressed as Captain Hook.
