Eek!

I haven't had a blog post in so long it is daunting to know where to start, but I'm going jump right in with the present (or very recent past) - Halloween! Addie is Hermione Granger from Harry Potter (as if she needs an introduction), Eliza is Tinkerbell (during the day and decided to be Rapunzel at night) and Xavier is reprising Addie's spider costume. I took thee day off again this year spending the entire morning in Addie's classroom helping with lantern crafts and taking photos. I loved it. Addie and then headed over to Montessori for Eliza's and then Xavier's parades. This is why I take the whole day off! Then we went home for a snack before going over to our friend Danika and Kieran's house for pizza and trick or treating.

This was Xavier's first time, and I was really worried about having him in contact with nuts. It isn't as easy as just removing the Snickers and Almond Joys from his plastic pumpkin. He can't eat most of the regular chocolates either because they may contain nuts. He can't even touch peanut butter and imagine how many sticky-fingered kids are out with their gooey hands in the candy bowls. Luckily we avoided all of this because after 2 houses, Xavier was content to sit in his stroller and just eat allergy-free dum dums and skittles for 2 hours. Everyone had fun - and stayed safe.

Michelle saw the pic of two girls dressed the same and asked me if Addie was going to some "expensive" private school. Not expensive, but very exclusive...
