Seeing Old Friends

 Today we have some old friends stop by to see the kids.  Kaylene and her daughter came by to see Sonja.  Kaylene had been Sonja's teacher for the last two years.  Sonja really enjoyed seeing Laina running around, and Laina enjoyed checking Sonja out and showing her some toys.  Luke got to hang out at a pumpkin patch field trip with his friends from Chrysalis and Abbie, who also was his teacher for the last two years.  Sonja was also visited by Miss Connie and Miss Pam for some homeschooling.  Miss Connie taught all the kids during their preschool years (7 years of Stockstads!)  and Miss Pam is her OT from school.  All in all it was a great day!

Halloween came and went but the memories are here for all to see!  The day started with Caitlin helping Sonja make a Kermit pumpkin!  So cute!  Cole had told us all week he wanted to be Superman so we put him in Luke's costume from last year and bought Luke a new Superman outfit since he wanted to be that again.  But....the day of Halloween, Cole just didn't want to wear the Superman costume and you can see him stuggling with it and wanting it OFF!  Good thing we had the Angry Birds mask at the ready and he was A-OK with that.  He put it on only when he rang the doorbell, then took it off the rest of the time. We got loads of candy and the kids had a great time!
