Halloween was a lot of fun! I borrowed a bear costume from Conservation Northwest and trick-or-treated with S in downtown Bellingham before she had to be at her face painting booth at Fairhaven Girls School, at which she painted some whiskers on me. Then S had to head down to Seattle for a dance workshop the next day.

N&M and I went trick-or-treating later that evening around Elizabeth Park, then I dropped them off at a friend's Halloween party and went to a party at H&D's. When I picked N&M up at 11:00 I was wearing the costume and was able to surprise all of them. It was pretty fun and I enjoyed being a bear.

Now we're getting ready for Thanksgiving - I need to get all the supplies needed for a fun day of eating and watching football with the kids. Should be good times.

M is working with a math tutor now, which is helping him a lot. N&S are doing well in school and still playing violin and viola respectively. I still want to find something extracurricular for M as well.
