Halloween

Yes, I know I'm very behind. But I'm trying to catch up...again. On Halloween, we weren't quite sure what to expect, being new in the neighborhood and all. We were invited to trick-or-treat with some neighbors on the other side of the neighborhood. Kids were EVERYWHERE, and it was like the whole neighborhood was having a big party. The kids loved it. Syd and Blake opted for the Star Wars route. No matter how hard they tried to convince Brady to be Darth Vader, he refused. Of course, he wanted to be Diego. And he wanted Max to be Rescue Pack. He screamed every time I told him that Max would be sleeping during trick-or-treating and I had no intention of dressing him up. He really, REALLY wanted Max to be Rescue Pack. Max was a farmer because he just happened to be wearing a John Deere "future farmer" t-shirt that day. Good enough.:) We lasted a little over an hour trick-or-treating before Blake announced he was finished. Next year, we may just make friends with someone with a golf cart (great idea, Sara).

This is just a fraction of the kids living in our neighborhood. This place is crawling with kids!

Sydney's always in protective big sis mode in a crowd.

It's 63 Degrees...

...and my kids feel the need to drag out the hats and scarves. They would NEVER survive a real winter.
