Trick or Treat! We took Brandon the green ghost to Rich & Regina's house to go trick or treating with Jackson the ninja. The boys had a blast! I've never seen so much candy - it was rather excessive. Brandon's bag got so heavy after doing just one street he had to unload into a grocery bag before heading back out to do another street.

I thought these luminaries looked nice lining someone's sidewalk.

The boys did a great job of saying "trick or treat" and thanking all the nice folks handing out candy. As the night wore on, Brandon became more & more creative. Nick said he even told some people he loved them! He told other people "sweet dreams" and "don't let the bed bugs bite" ... That boy is NOT shy!

Here's Rich holding Jackson's cousin Luke. Luke goes to the same daycare/preschool as Brandon & Laedyn.


Laedyn stayed at the house with the grown-ups handing out candy. She slept thru most of the evening in her stroller.

Brandon's preschool had their Halloween party last week and all the kids dressed up & had their pictures taken. They were all really cute. After pictures, all the kids sat down to have thier party food which, unsurprisingly, contained bright orange cheese puffs. They make it to EVERY preschool party - even most of the private birthday parties. In addition, all the kids got a goody bag to bring home - full of candy & Halloween themed trinkets. Brandon got a mini glow-in-the-dark rubber mummy ducky. Cute.

Kaleb's Daddy brought this skeleton head in a ball. It moved around & made noise (talked maybe???). The kids were fascinated of course.

Meet the Green Ghost...Brandon & I had a little photo shoot in the preschool playground before their Halloween Party started. He thought he was a pretty scary ghost ... Charming ghost...
Silly ghost...


Hard to find ghost ...

Last Sunday Nick & I painted my new office. The green was a touch mintier than the paint chip, but it's not too far off that I felt compelled to go back to Home Depot & complain.
