You all know how I feel about October, right?  It’s my favorite month of the year and every year I try and do fun fall or Halloween related things with the girls.

I saw a copy of this Halloween Doodles book at Barnes and Noble.  (We’re spending a lot of time there lately…Gracie is a reading machine this year and likes nothing better than to go to the bookstore and find something new to read).  I didn’t get the copy I saw in the store, but I kept thinking about how cool it was.  So, I ordered three copies on-line.  The girls and I spend a good bit of time waiting at doctor’s offices, at ballet lessons, before soccer practice.  I thought these would be the perfect thing for us to do together.  We pulled the books and some colored pencils out on Friday while we were waiting for Gracie’s doctor’s appointment.   The first page was adding scary faces to pumpkins.   We all had a great time creating spooky looks!

I think these will be a definite plus throughout the month!  And, I have a sinking feeling that we’re going to be spending some more time in doctors’ offices this month- Abigail is still shaking at night and it seems to be getting worse.  She’s tired; I’m tired; I’m ready for some answers – I just hope we don’t have to finish the entire Halloween Doodles book before we get them!
