Halloween kick off!

A couple days later, Lukas and Erin came over for a pumpkin painting party. The boys had a blast! Running around, playing with toys and painting pumpkins...and Erin and I drank some much deserved wine :-)

Beautiful!

We had so much fun painting the pumpkins, that we decided to make some door decorations.
I cut out the pieces and Tripp put them in place (okay, I might have helped him a little ;)

In the meantime, I am completing an independent study in scene painting at Eastern State University...basically I'm paying them to let me paint their sets.

I need 9 more theatre credit hours to get a duel certification..

Here's my progress so far.

Today, Tripp & I went to Glastonbury to support my Art Clubbers.

On the way, we stopped at D'n'D for some munchkins. Tripp was very excited to taste the special Halloween sprinkle donut holes. Yummy!

The Art Cub worked with the Town Center Initiative and painted 15 storefront windows on and around Main Street, Glastonbury.

It was a miserable day - weather wise. These kids are troopers!

My Politician moment. Photo Op with Darci, the event coordinator

and some ladies from TCI and the Board of Ed.

A finished, crazy creepy vampire fruit & veggie window.

Then it was home for lunch and off to the local strip mall for

Safe Trick or Treat and Spooky Stories.

Mommy got dressed up too.

Pirate Posse - Aaarrrrrrr!!

Spooky Stories

Check out Tripp lounging - too funny!

Checking out his Loot.

Not too much candy - he opted for stickers

At each store he would proudly present his pumpkin bucket and say Trick O Treat! Then Thank You, followed by AAARRRRRR!

We're ready for Trick or Treat next week!
