Halloween roundup

We had a kind of dreary Halloween, but the boys enjoyed it anyway (mostly thanks to candy and glow sticks). We were supposed to go to one of David's co-workers house to trick-or-treat with a bunch of little kids, but they called and cancelled because their kids had the flu.

We decided to trick-or-treat at a few apartments in our complex, but the weather became terribly cold and rainy right as we walked out the door, and on top of that, no one answered their doors! Ah well -- we decided that next year (wherever we are) we'll make a point of trick-or-treating at houses that are well decorated for Halloween --that should increase our success!

Yesterday, Peter got his cast off and we're all grateful for that! He had a long soak in the tub, took a good nap, and was literally bouncing around when he got up. He was spinning donuts on the floor, bouncing on the couch, he was so thrilled to be out of that cast! The doctor said he probably won't put any weight on that ankle for a little while, but so far he seems to be treating it normally. In two months they want to X-ray it to make sure it has finished healing correctly, but other than that he's good to go.

Today, we had a playdate with one of Kim's friends from college who now lives in the Buffalo area. It was such a treat! They have 2 little boys and a lovely, huge old farmhouse complete with chickens and lots of land. They also know of other young Catholic families in the area and offered to let us know about any group events that might be going on. I'm excited about that possibility!



Jack as a young Obi-Wan Kenobi and Thomas as Luke Skywalker.

Peter with a Superman sweater (I thought that complimented his cast nicely :) )

Our pumpkins -- David's autobot symbol, Jack's scaredy pumpkin, and Thomas's goofy pumpkin

Say cheese!
