I don't know what to think





I think this picture of Nathan is so funny.  What is he doing with his hand?

Halloween 2009



This is the best group shot I was able to get.  Let's start with Nathan's Halloween.  He wanted nothing to do with his pirate costume.  I am sure he was thinking, why are you putting these clothes and hat on me.  He did, however, discover suckers.  He found one lying on the ground and was quick to get the wrapper off and I could tell by his face that he thought he was in heaven.
 
 
Anna had a great Halloween.  Here she is at her school's Halloween parade.  She wore a costume her grandma and aunt brought back from Spain.  Her highlight was that for awhile on Halloween night, her and her 7 year old friend went trick or treating all by themselves. This was not meant on purpose, but will be explained in Andrew's Halloween night.
 


Here is Andrew after his preschool parade.  He was a teenage mutant ninja turtle.  He did not have a very good Halloween.  If you notice in the group shot, he has two stick swords.  He was convinced that he could not be a ninja turtle without these swords.  Anyways, on Halloween night, Danny took Anna and Andrew to his preschool for a quick dinner that they have.  Afterwards, they were going to go trick or treating and stop at Anna's friends house.  Well, Andrew threw a major fit because Danny wouldn't let him take his swords with him.  It was so bad that Andrew lost all privledges to go trick or treating.  At the same time, he was throwing his major fit, Danny arranged for Anna to go trick or treating with her friend and another adult.  Well, there was some miscommunication and Anna and her friend ended up going all by themselves. Luckily, we figured out the miscommunication pretty soon and Danny was able to find the girls.

So, it was an interesting Halloween.  It will be interesting to see how this will affect Andrew. 

Peter and the Wolf



Anna's dance studio performed Peter and the Wolf again this fall.  Anna was a racoon this time.  They do such a good job putting the show on and they go and perform it for an Assisted Living Center. Anna really loves to dance and she has a wonderful teacher.


 
I love Anna's scared face in this shot!
