Halloween

This has been a busy month with so many Halloween activities starting off with Apollo's party and ending with a get together today with cake and goodies. Apollo has been in heaven-surrounded by candy.





Happy birthday, Jill. Here the girls are trying out her new bands.







Here's Annie in a dress that I wore when I was little. We were just talking tonight about how she gets prettier and prettier.


Apollo had a fun time trick-or-treating. Last year he was in a stroller and would take the candy from people but this year he walked around and had a lot of fun looking at the decorated homes. He had a hard time putting candy in his bag because he always wanted to eat it-my mom said we did the same thing when we were little. Annie stole the show as our little angel. She loves people and always gives a big smile and puts her hands out to them. One time, we were surrounded with high school girls all adoring Annie-asking her name, age, and talking to her. After leaving them, I got all teary-eyed. I loved teaching high school and love being around that age of kids.



Carleton's new love. I'm not sure if I come first or second. He's been looking for a nice mountain bike for awhile and found a steal off Craig's list. He's going biking with a few guys in the morning.


We took a test run out with the kids. We had a long talk about what makes us happy and we know that we have to do things we love and that by doing so we will be better parents and a better spouse. Carleton loves racquetball and riding and I'm glad he's doing both. He has a racquetball tournament coming up this week.
