Weekend Recap - Part II

Yes, I'm cheating by spliting this post into two, but I figure since you're getting so many pictures, it should certainly count as two!

So, we finally woke C up so that we could head to our friend Easton's Halloween themed 1st Birthday Party. Here's the birthday boy digging into his cake.



And here are some of the kiddos dressed in costume:

Easton the Dragon


Lightening fast Caleb the Scarecrow (hence the blur)


And Charlotte the Bear


I lamented during the party that we never get any trick-or-treaters at our house because of the location, and being the amazing friend that she is, Cortney invited us over to spend the evening at their house. We took the boys out to a few houses and then spent most of the evening handing out school supplies...that's right, school supplies. Cortney, a former elementary school teacher (and avid supporter of dental health!), hands out pencils, erasers, etc instead of candy. What a great idea!

Trying to get a good shot of the boys in costume was like pulling teeth. We finally gave Caleb one of the above mentioned pencils to suck on while Easton couldn't have moved in that costume even if he wanted to!


And a pretty good shot of the four of us if I do say so myself! (Ok, Caleb wasn't looking at the camera, and Easton was wiped out from the events of the day, but Cortney and I look FABULOUS!)


The boys had a great time Trick-or-Treating. Caleb even wanted to run into people's houses to find more Candy!

Sunday was spent mostly relaxing, but we did get out to the 2009 Great Cajun Cook-Off and Food Fest with our favorite newly engaged couple, Josh and Ashley, who offered us free tickets to the event. It was great to again get out of the house and to sample all the great cajun food made by local restaurants. Caleb enjoyed running around in a large open grassy area. Needless to say, he took another great nap that afternoon.

If I had to put one downside on the weekend, it would be that I had to write exams and submit midterm reports for my students, but honestly the good far outweighed the bad. I'm hoping for more of these great weekends this fall!
