Halloween

Halloween night we only went to a handful of houses to see friends. Halloween night was Mati's 4th time trick-or-treating. The first time was in my classroom as part of the preschool celebration, the second time was at the John Ball Zoo goes Boo, then at the "Fall Fest" friend party, so Mati was well sugared by the time the official trick-or-treating time rolled around.

Here she goes, the seasoned pro hitting the first house.

She made herself right at home at one friend's house, heading upstairs.

Knock-knock. She did a great job of saying "trick-or-treat" and "thank you."

Doug's pumpkin he created with the jigsaw.

My "Dora the Explorer" pumpkin I created without a jigsaw and with a lot more time.

Happy Halloween from Dr. Schafer and her parents!

Pre-Halloween Festivities

This is Mati after having one piece of chocolate the day before Halloween. She plopped in front of the TV and zoned-out... sugar crash in action.

"Fall Fest" party with fellow MHS teachers and their families. Mati loved the trampoline.

Mati's first ride on a quad. She was a little tired at this point and moments after this picture was taken she drove it into the deck.

In the shop, carving pumpkins "Doug Style." Lots of tools involved.

Yup, that's a Jigsaw he's using. Needless to say his pumpkin took far less time to carve than the one I did by hand.
