Is It Halloween Yet?

JediBoy is so excited that it’s officially fall this week. However, instead of enjoying what I think of as the early fall season’s special moments - apple picking and falling leaves - he is so ready for Halloween!

Sept 25 Inigo and ROUS

Points to the first one to guess what the theme is this year… no fair answering if you’ve already been told by my little talker. And yes, the two costumes are related.

In other moments, we’ve had an unusual rhythm this week. JediBoy woke up with an awful cold on Monday, resulting in most of a day of, um, PBSschooling. We spent most of Wednesday out with the Chessos. The other days, he seems to get going on one subject and do a huge block of it. Monday we only did history (a return to Egypt, the middle kingdom this time); Tuesday it was math (column addition). This morning back to math (two more full lessons - measurement and perimeter) and this afternoon he wanted to do all the language-related activities for Rumpelstiltskin in our Classic Stories book. Most weeks we do a little dabble of each subject each day. I’m curious to see whether this is his new pattern, or just an odd week.

That’s the way I schooled at Cam’s age. I would be very focused on whatever things had caught my mind for a day or three before moving on to the next thing, occasionally coming back to a previously covered subject as it returned to the front of my mind.

I have to say it was a very nice way to learn, though I know you’ll do a better job than my mom at making sure he doesn’t miss any major required knowledge (you know, like higher maths ~sigh~) just because he’s not feeling the love. Then again, Cam’s not as likely as I was to skip the hard stuff.

P.S. The costume, though huge, is CUTE. We can still try to fix the other if you want.

Those costumes are terrific! Theme? I don’t know. Pied Piper?

We started putting up a ton of Halloween decorations yesterday! It was my idea but the kids are very excited! We’re going to do more today, Ethan is staying home sick for the 3rd day and I’m keeping Ben home even though he is fine because I want to be lazy.
I think we’re making those apple heads in the family fun magazine today.

Is it Sea Rats (the board game)?

Hahaha…what a cute ROUS BabyGirl is! ;) I guessed without looking at the other answer, btw. Very good costume for JediBoy, very convincing.

Oh my gosh, how did I miss that? That’s hilarious! Brett will be way jealous that your kids are so much cooler than ours and at such tender ages.
