Alyssa watched Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat a couple times, the boys played with trucks in the basement, and I finished up the kids' Halloween costumes.
After lunch we straightened up the house, then played "Disney's Scene It
" that we're borrowing from our friends. At first we tried to use the game board and dice, but the boys weren't exactly up to moving their game piece without either driving it all over the table or stuffing it in their mouth. (I don't know why Alyssa gave Marcus his own game piece.) So we turned the DVD on to Party Play and had a great time watching clips of Disney movies, and answering questions. (If you blow up the picture, you can see Marcus trying to drink root beer from an empty can. Apparently we didn't clean well enough.)Brian's parents were nice enough to bring us dinner, since we missed going to their house. We had roast and potatoes, and I didn't have to cook a thing!
After Dan and Diane left, we ate dinner, cleaned up, started some chocolate chip cookie dough, had baths and a shower, and got in our clean, warm pajamas. Then we turned the love seat around so it faced the computer, baked the cookies, and did one of the best things you can do in October: watch The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
I was a little worried that the kids might be afraid at parts, but Alyssa thought that Ichabod Crane being raced down by the Headless Horseman was the most hilarious thing she'd ever seen. Ethan took cues from her on when to laugh, but he did seem to be concerned about Ichabod's safety. Marcus was just happy to have a cookie.
