Halloween!





Well, we have fought it as long as possible. We are now actually going to have to join the rest of the world and try our best to become computer savvy. Honestly, just emailing a picture can be more complex than we can handle at times, so we will do our best. We have loved being able to read Dave and Jessie's blogs and see their pictures, so we decided to jump on the bandwagon and create a blog for us as well. Our hope is that we will now be able to stay better in touch with all those that we love.

Halloween around here was a lot of fun. Emma dressed up as a pirate, Lincoln was a black ghoul with red eyes that would glow and then disappear, Sam was a blue power ranger (and he already plans on being a red power ranger next year), and Tessa was a bumblebee. Ted used to have nightmares when he was little that he had forgotten to go trick-or-treating, so when it came time to take the kids trick-or-treating, there was no delay in him getting the kids out the door to make sure they gathered as much loot as possible (the more there is, the more he can raid their bags!). When all the kids came home they had more candy than we had ever imagined. Lincoln weighed his pillowcase to see how much candy he had, and he had 6.4 pounds!! We have already had to put a serious limit on the quantity allowed each day.

Several people in our neighborhood wonder why we don't pass out toothbrushes -- bad for business we tell them. Maybe we should pass out jolly ranchers next year?

Leslie I LOVE IT! Good job. Your blog looks great. The kids are adorable. I can't believe how tall Emma is, I'm sure I would say the same thing about Lincoln, but you can't really see him... Very cute costumes. I'm excited to see more posts! Thanks.

I've never been so proud...of Ted, that is. I'm proud of the kids too. There is no greater goal in life than to haul in a ton of loot on Halloween. It makes me happy to know that my brother and sister-in-law are well cared for.
And thanks for the explanation of the pictures...I thought you had forgotten to include a picture of Lincoln...but now I see where he is.
