October

I have been busy lately and haven't had much of a chance to write on here. Todd turned 34 on the 24th and he had an uneventful birthday. Then, Halloween started. We don't do that much for Halloween but Todd and his brothers took the 7 kids to Hogle Zoo for trick or treating on the saturday before Halloween and they got a lot of candy. Unfortunately, Jonah put his bag down somewhere so he had to share with Luke.

They carved these pumpkins while I was gone one night. Luke did Batman (until he cut his hand), Jonah did the vampire (with help from Uncle Tim) and Todd made the smiley face for Kira.

On Halloween, we got really busy. As Todd was walking out the door for trick-or-treating in his mom's neighborhood, I handed him the camera and told him to make sure that he got pictures of the kids in their costumes. Well, he got lots of pictures of Kira in hers but the boys were running as fast as they could with their cousins and so we still need to hit up Tim to get pictures from his camera. Hopefully, he has some. Kira loved trick-or-treating and trunk-or-treating and knows which candy is hers. She likes the suckers the best.

Today is Election Day and so my neighbor offered to watch Luke & Kira so I could go vote in peace. But, there was absolutely no line when I went to vote. Anyway, my neighbor, Jill, really just wanted to get her hands on Kira's hair. Kira wanted to be behind the camera and not in the picture. By the way, she would never hold still this long if I was trying to do her hair. And, it looked really cute.

Todd is going to Minnesota first thing in the morning. He will only be there for a day and a half and apparently he has will be about an hour and a half from Minneapolis and so who knows if he will be able to see Reed, Allie and Jensen. Hopefully!
