Halloween at Home
We had a great time this Halloween. My mom came over and helped dish out candy while Dave took Henry to a few neighbors for his first trick-or-treat. Hiroe arrived just in time to experience her first ever Halloween night. We had one pumpkin carved and our front porch looked great. Henry had a great time seeing all the kids in costumes and getting passed around from person to person.

Halloween Party at School
We all know that Dave is an awesome dad. More proof is his visit to daycare last Friday to participate in the Halloween festivities. The girls at daycare were enamored of him because he was so helpful, and he had a great time seeing all the kids in their costumes. The costumes included an elephant, several pumpkins, a tigger, a vampire, a devil, a lion and of course Henry was a monster. The kids had a great time and were just so cute!!!
Trying not to post too many pics of the kids, but Zoe is so stinkin’ cute in this picture that I’m posting it. I’m pretty sure her mom is a blogger so I think it’s OK. Molly, can you pass this link on?

Vermicomposting Workshop
This week I got to do something really fun. I found out that the City of Raleigh’s Recycling folks were sponsoring a vermicomposting workshop so I asked if I could help out. They accepted my offer so I showed up with worm bins in tow Tuesday evening. Bianca, who works in Education for the City, was running the workshop. She’s a really neat person who introduced me to worms several years ago at a composting workshop. (Thanks Bianca!)
Here she is teaching the class.
She asked me to talk to the class for a bit and we ended up teaching the rest of the class together. It’s so much fun to teach people about worms and answer their questions. A dozen or more people left that night with worm bins prepared to get started vermicomposting. Woot!!

Check out these awesome costumes my friend at work made for her two kids. They are amazing!
Ziggy Stardust
Cristin and I finally got around to watching Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars this week, which was quite excellent.
We had yummy pizza dinner and Cristin got to feed Henry. She brought him this amazing shirt that she made, featuring Hank the Tank.
All of her pictures are here.
