On the 26th my daughter and her boys from Austin drove in and spent the night and we all flew to Kansas City the next day. We were there to celebrate my mother-in-law's 90th birthday. She is in assisted-living but still can get around a little and is alert and cognizant. We took her to her favorite Italian restaurant for a birthday lunch on Saturday.
Mitchell was so tired he fell asleep just before we got to the restaurant and he slept on the floor during the entire meal.!
On Sunday we all flew back to Dallas; my husband drove home; and I drove down to Austin with Kelly. Monday we looked all over for pumpkins as the ones they had gotten earlier in the month were rotting. The two pumpkin patches had none and were closed. We ended up at the grocery store which only had small pie pumpkins left. That night the boys carved their pumpkins with their Dad.
Then on Tuesday, Halloween, my husband flew in and we went to Carl's school for his kindergarten Fall Festival. It was freezing cold and windy so we were glad it only lasted an hour! The kids all wore their costumes and it was really cute. Each of the 6 classes had 2 booths of fun/learning activity games.
And then it was trick-or-treating time! Carl was Pikachu - Kelly made stripes on the back of the yellow pjs and also the tail. The costume even made it through the school day intact.
Mitchell adores the Moana movie and was Maui. Kelly made the leaf skirt, necklace and hook. She had bought tattoos to put on his chest and arms but since it was so cold she got a t-shirt and just drew them on with Sharpie. Mitchell didn't know the difference. He had refused to wear the wig for days, but that night he wore it! It really finished the costume off nicely.
The next day we came home and brought Mitchell with us for three days as Kelly had to work and her babysitter was unavailable. He was a joy to have - such a sweetie and no homesickness or missing Mom and Dad. I had ordered him a suitcase for his first solo trip. He chose a Minions theme and loves it.
So, this week there is nothing planned for a change and I hope to catch up on everything and get back to arting and blogging! And resting
