Halloween 2009

Trick-or-treating in the new neighborhood was quite fun. It was the only time I have ever seen a ghoul proffering candy with one hand while balancing a glass of wine in the other.

We now have enough candy to fill a bathtub.


Here's the weird part: Liam won't eat it!

Here he is not eating some malted milk balls. He played with them for maybe ten minutes, then asked for "more candy". I gave him more, and it was the same with the m&m's, and the gummi bears after that. Whose kid is this, anyway? Not eating m&m's?! It's unthinkable! We'll see how long it lasts...


Super Declan! Here he is, obviously dazed by the kryptonite frames on my new bifocals (sad, isn't it?).

October

Some pumpkin photos before the season gets away. I'm not sure we'll find the time to carve these. I hope we do! Aunt Nancy brought us some beautiful pumpkins again this year.

Two-year-olds are very possessive about their pumpkins.
"This not your punkin. This my punkin."


Seven-year-olds want to know if they can please just carve it themselves this year?


Five-month-olds think big brothers who make faces are the best. With or without the pumpkins.

Happy Halloween

Sean's, Holly's, Laurel's, and Liam's
Thanks for the pumpkins, Aunt Nancy!!!
