HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Well here they are...the very creative Hutchinson Kids!!
Emma wanted to be a zoo keeper!!! Complete with a Jack Hanna autographed safari hat!!

Drew's costume started off as a simple "Plaid Person" but once he found the hat he turned into a "Plaid Detective" or you may also call him "Sherlock Drew"!

Dennis hung black fabric around the porch, added a strobe light, and dressed in this costume. He had a blast scaring people all night!!!

Drew figured out pretty early into the evening that he could wear his bag like a backpack!! He would then say Trick or Treat turn around and have them put the candy into his bag!!! He would tell them Thank you and trot off to the next house!! He was pretty proud of this idea!!

And of course Trick or Treat is even better when you get to go with your Best Friends!!!

Pumpkin Carving

To all of the Moms

This letter is to all of the Moms that have ever had a young child in a musical!!! I want to say Thank you...for listening to the 3 minute song over and over and over and over again non-stop from the time that they get home from school to the time that they go to bed!!! Thank you Mom for listening to me!!!! Emma is singing in the Veteran's Day Program with 3 other girls and yesterday her wonderful Music Teacher sent home the CD of back ground music :) I can honestly say that I have never heard the Pledge of Allegiance sung before. She tells me "Practice makes Perfect" apparently every time you practice it also needs to be more dramatic and louder!!! And I just had to say THANKS MOMS!!! I say that as I am listening to her sing upstairs for probably as Drew would say the 189-40th time!!!! As soon as I figure out how to video on my camera and put it on our Blog I will gladly share with you!!! Thanks again for endearing all of the heart felt songs that were sung non-stop!!!!

The Week in Review

Well we kicked off last week with a trip to the Columbus Zoo for Lunch with Batman (Wonder Woman and Joker were there too). What a great time!!!
After lunch we rode the Sea Dragon roller Coaster!! The kids love it and Emma even rides with her hands in the air!

We also rode the Scare-ousel. :)

We went to a couple Halloween Parties. Here is a small costume preview. The big Hutchinson Halloween Hooray is November 1st so stay tuned for some outrageous costumes!!

The kids practiced taking pictures with the camera and took pictures of Dennis and I.

Finally the week ended with new Family Room furniture!!! Woo Hoo!!

There is a spot for Drew!!

A spot for Emma!!

A spot for Princess!!

And lots of other spots to share with friends and family!!!

Oh and Dennis..well he finally got a recliner!!!

And of course Emma got her glasses.....Saturday the lens fell out!!! All is better now and she is back to being her studious and stylish self!!

And I must admit that I bought gas for $2.23 and (according to my family) finally turned on the heat in the house!!!

Stay tuned later in the week for great Halloween pictures and this week in review!!!!

~Almost forgot: I took three kids to see High School Musical 3 (I give it 2 thumbs up) and we saw snow flurries!!~

Emma's New Accessory

Hooray!!! Emma's glasses finally arrived!! Isn't she adorable :)
And if you know Emma...you knew that there had to be pink on them!!!

Today was her first day wearing them. She seems to be amazed at how much better things look. She told me her favorite part at school today was reading!!! Yes, she has always loved reading but she said the words are so much bigger!!! And I can hardly believe that we had no idea she needed glasses...she has never complained about her eyes and has always been a great reader and writer!!!! I guess she just never knew a difference. Now it's simply amazing!!

Anyways, today while she was at school I went to Build a Bear and bought SuSu her own pair of glasses!!!

Lynd's

In honor of Nanny and Papa we went to Lynd's fruit farm to pick apples!!!
Here is Drew in search of the perfect apple!!
The apples are delicious!!

We picked pumpkins too!!!!


Happy Fall!!!

This Just In

Or should I say out!! Emma officially has no front teeth!!!

Dennis and Dennis

Last weekend Dennis F. came over with his clan! We had a great time!
Here is a picture of his family! Erin (wife), Gibson (4 1/2), Edison (3), Lincoln (1), and Baby Boy #4 on the way!!!

We went to Ding Ho on Sunday...
Emma ate the spaghetti just like Daddy did when he was her age!!!
