You can tell that this post is made in December -- I'm considering this a "seasonal" post because it covers Halloween and Thanksgiving! (yes, I'm behind on the blogging. . . I also turn my library books in late. It's just how I am.)

This post is mostly for Uncle Kenny so he can feel like he was there for Halloween and Thanksgiving! We missed you very much.

Halloween started with a Halloween parade. Daniel was none too pleased to be stuffed in a wagon with all his classmates. He is used to a more sophisticated ride in Daddy's sportscar.

Grammy and Grumpy met us to go get ice cream and brave the Colonial street that was populated with wild animals -- like lions.

Eric came to visit the next weekend and had a good time wrestling with Daddy and Little Bear. He also got to work on cleaning some rifles with Daddy.

No, Mark is not making obscene finger gestures at the camera. . .

Daniel got to go to a pumpkin farm with his school to pick out pumpkins and gourds for the holiday table.

We have spent a lot of time recently at Home Depot for new house repairs. It's a family affair.

Grammy and Grumpy came back for Thanksgiving and it was a good thing because boy did I need them!

Woob and Dan had a good time eating all the food that we had on the table! Eric liked the rolls the best.

Jacky sent Bear a coat from London and he really likes it. It is the hit of the daycare!

I think at the end of the week Grumpy was pretty tired... he began to blend in with the scenery.
