CRAZY KIDS!

Once in a while Marc comes home from work and he brings little gifts home that his students have picked out for our kids. I don't know if they are trying to suck up to Marc or if they are just nice, generous kids. I'd like to think the latter. Here are the latest "gifts" given to our kids. They are sure good looking aren't they. Perhaps this will have to be the Christmas Picture instead of the ones we took on Sunday.

A beautiful autumn day

This afternoon we went out to do our annual Christmas Card Photo Taking. We had limited time because the sun was setting but it made for a lovely time out in the fresh air. You'll have to wait for the final family pic that made the Christmas Card but for now here are a few pics I took of the afternoon.

Halloween 2009

Halloween has come and gone and all we have to show for it is....soooooo much candy. The kids raked it in and we are all enjoying the benefits.
This year was a little different Halloween for me as I wasn't able to take the kids out trick or treating. We did, however, get to carve pumpkins together. Above are the kids pumpkins. This is the first year I let them do it all themselves (besides getting all the goop out of the inside). Ben's is on the left and Hannah's on the right.
The kids got to wear costumes to school on the 30th so Ben wore his robin costume and Hannah went as an army girl. She was pretty cute. They played carnival games and had a costume parade (just after the power went out...perfect timing for Halloween).

On the 31st Marc took them out. The weather was perfect and they had a great time. Here is a picture of them trick or treating. Ben decided being a kangaroo would keep him warmer. Does Hannah look happy or what?
Now to resist the temptation of all that candy. Will I be able to do it? Doubt it.
