A Mostly Happy Halloween!

The Halloween season came and went rather quickly. Halloween day found Anna with a fever and today (Nov. 1) Kate is not feeling the greatest as well. Hopefully we can get them healthy as soon as possible. I can't believe how fast time seems to fly. The last few weeks have been full of fun, hopefully I won't leave out anything important! Sit back, grab some trick-or-treat candy, and enjoy the Wright Family Halloween blog!


Elizabeth was a little flower for Halloween. She really didn't know what was going on, but smiled a lot and was happy just to sit around and be held. She is starting to get bored when by herself. Time to find something that will entertain her.

Daniel is too busy for his own good! He is everywhere and into everything. He has recently learned how to open doors, and is very proud of that achievement. We were able to get him in his cowboy costume for about 3 minutes. Long enough to take this picture. He kept wiping his beard off and throwing his hat away. He enjoyed trick-or-treating in our neighborhood, but had to eat the candy as fast as our neighbors put it in his bucket.


Kate is getting to be quite the little lady. This is her version of Cinderella, I called her Katerella and she laughed. She has had a fun time "making things" this month. She even took one of our projects to preschool for show and tell. At the bottom of this entry I'll include a picture of a couple of our projects. Being the caring sister she always is, she made sure that Anna's trick-or-treat bucket was filled up because Anna couldn't be out and about Halloween night.


Anna discovered that it "isn't fun to be sick on Halloween!" She was in tears because she has a temperature and had to stay in her room all day. We hooked up a TV in her room, and she was very careful to stay in there so she didn't get everyone sick. I laughed, and told her that she should be "Sleeping Anna" instead of "Sleeping Beauty." She also enjoyed making many of our "projects" this month.
Amanda has had a lot of "nursing in excellence" classes to go to this month. It was interesting trying to juggle so many schedules together, but she found a neighbor girl to come watch the kids a couple of times. Amanda was also adveturous in the kitchen this month and tried a couple of new recipies. They turned out pretty good! You'll have to ask us if you want the recipies.

Survived October! I didn't realise how busy this month would be. Between Saftey Week, Red Ribbon Week, and Halloween I didn't think there would be time to teach much! I was suprised how much the students and I were able to accomplish. I had fun carving pumpkins with my kids, and even toasted some pumpkin seeds! Kate and Daniel enjoyed them with me, Amanda and Anna are still not quite sure about them.

These are bats we made out of toilet paper tubes.
We made quite a few, and gave them to family members.
We kept two to put on our shelf.


We made Jack-o-lanterns to hang on our door.
Anna's is on the left. She cut it out herself.
Kate's is on the right. She dictated what the face should look like.
Daniel tried to help with his, the one on the bottom. He mostly just ripped the scraps of paper up, and threw them around the kitchen.
