Halloween Recap

Here are my cute kids just before they went trick-or-treating. Little darlings, all of them. It was a great night. Good weather. I went with them while Sterling cleaned up the kitchen and passed out our treats, which were glow-bracelets. We left just before it got dark. We only went for a couple of blocks and headed home after about an hour. Sydney kept running ahead with her friends. Parker got upset because people kept stepping on his cloak. Camille kept sucking her thumb because she was a little nervous. Sometimes she was with Sydney, sometimes with me. Rachel was as happy as could be. After each house she would say, "Candy Too!!!" It was just thrilling. So there you go. step by step replay.

They all brought in a lot of candy, Sydney's pillowcase shows it the best. (and look at her wet hair. Yes, we made them take their Sunday baths before they could rummage through their candy. Mean, I know, I heard all about it.)

And always in search of order and arrangement, Sydney made sure each piece of candy had its place.

Rachel was content to show her Dad each piece of candy and pile it on his lap. Then she put it, piece by piece, back into her bucket. Then she took it out, piece by piece. Then she put it in, I think you get the picture.

This is what I was going to dress up as for Halloween. An oven. Because...read the fine print...

That's right ladies and gentlemen. We are expecting baby #5.

Now we will be a "prime" family. 5 kids, 7 people.

One family, under God,

INDIVISIBLE

with love and ice cream for ALL!
