Happy Halloween!

-
I can honestly say, there is something special about a Texas Halloween. We all had a great night walking around our cozy little neighborhood eagerly soliciting candy and toys from smiling neighbors who were enjoying the warm evening with comfortable lawn chairs, mosquito spray and big bowls of candy. Each time the kids arrived at a friendly door the generous answer to their, "Trick or Treat," was a generous fistful of chocolatey, sugary treats. We were under-prepared for the generosity of the Texas spirit and quickly found our small bags inadequate to their load. Admiring our bursting buckets, we called it a good night's work and gladly took our candy home. The children all had a wonderful night and they are already asking when we can go Trick-or-Treating again. We told them not to worry. Just 12 more months to go and then they can do it all again. :)

So, what was everyone's favorite candy treat this year?

Rebekah's was Kitty Kats (Kit Kats), of course!

Loyd said he liked all of them the best. I guess a robot isn't picky about his input.


And, our Mr. X definitely loved his suckers the best of all.

Happy Halloween!

PS: Here is Dustin's pumpkin masterpiece for this year. He kindly obliged Rebekah in her request for a cat, a spider and a pumpkin. Too bad there wasn't room for a bat. She likes those too. Maybe next year. :)

Your kids grow up WAY to fast. Everytime I look I can hardly believe my eyes. Looks like you are really enjoying life. Such cute costumes. Yoda is my favorite.

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
