Earlier this month we went to the Gourds and Ghouls Festival. The kids wore their costumes and we got a picture with a giant pumpkin. e is a pink poodle, j is Transformer Bumblebee, t is Buzz Lightyear, a is a butterfly. For the Trunk or Treat j was a "superman" (soccer star) and t was Transformer Bumblebee. We'll see what they choose for Beggar's Night. e wanted butterfly wings at the Trunk or Treat. We have a little pair of pink wings for dress up, so she may end up as a pink poodle-butterfly.

Last week my parents came to visit. We wanted to get a family photo earlier this summer, but it didn't happen. So Grandma and Grandpa help us take this picture in our backyard. It was a lot of work to get everyone happy and looking in the same direction, but I think we got a few good shots. You may see this picture again at Christmas. :)
