Distracted Driving Starts Early

Miss Manners

We have been trying unsuccessfully to get Daphne to stop putting her feet on the table when she is eating.

Trick or Treat

We took the kids trick-or-treating on our new street even though we won't be moving in for a few more weeks. We met a lot of nice neighbors and the kids had a blast. The kids were a little tired when we started and Tyler was a little timid about ringing strange doorbells. But after getting candy at the first house both Tyler and Daphne were pretty pumped.

Why do you keep stopping me to take photos?
We must get to the next house quickly!

Daphne wanted to lug her own bag around

Trunk or Treat

On Halloween morning the kids' school had a Trunk or Treat event. A bunch of parents, including me, decorated the trunks of our vehicles and then each class came by the trunks to get treats. They collected their treats in treat bags that they had decorated.

I decorated my trunk with ghosts
dressed up for Halloween.

she can get them open and into her mouth.

Tyler was grinning from ear to ear.

Tyler and Daphne with PawPaw. We're still not sure
what PawPaw was dressed up as but his shirt read,
"You can't scare me, I have grandkids."

Happy Halloween

Picky Eater

There are countless nights that Tyler grumbles about what has been served on his plate for dinner. Michael cooked dinner earlier this week- a basic chicken marsala with pasta that I had planned. Tyler raved on and on about how it was the best dinner he had ever had and thanked Daddy for cooking it. The next night when I reheated leftovers Tyler refused to even take a bite of the chicken even though we told him it was prepared the same as the night before. Agh!!!! Maybe I should just have Michael cook every meal?
