I hope you all had a happy Halloween yesterday. The boys and I had fun! This year, Southern really got what Halloween was and was able to participate in everything. And, this was the first year that Remington could walk up to the houses to trick or treat... dragging his little treat bag behind him. He wasn't able to say "trick or treat" but did get the hang of holding out his bag for treats and would wave and say bye while leaving.
We started off our day with a trip to the library. They were having their usual storytime, but they asked the kids to come in costumes for a parade afterward.
We love going to library, and we especially love going to the library in costume! All the adults that ran into us on our way in were telling the kids how cute they were.
We had a Halloween themed storytime with a few books and songs. The last song of the morning was Dry Bones, and each kid was able to choose an instrument to play along. Southern picked a tambourine, and Remington got a bell.
After storytime, the kids lined up for a parade around the library. There were a couple stops where the librarians (who were dressed in costumes as well) passed out candy. They also passed out coloring pages and put stamps on the kids' hands.
Here's Remington showing off his stamp.
The parade ended in the Children's Room, so we soon went about our usual stuff. The boys played on the computers and we picked out some books and movies to bring home.
All that fun got our appetites worked up. We splurged with lunch at Sonic. They were having 50 cent corndogs all day!! It was Remington's first corndog! And I think he really liked it :)
Then it was time to head home for naps. Remington went down as usual, and I even got Southern to take a nap! After naptime, the boys were hungry again so it was time for a snack.
Sorry - the picture is sideways - but you can see what the boys and I whipped up to eat. Spiders! We used whole wheat Ritz crackers, peanut butter, pretzels, and Craisains.
Yum!
