Halloween...the best holiday EVER! You dress up, get candy, and go to bed! Perfect!

HB as Goldilocks.

Matt dressed up as Julius Caesar for school and went out as the "Awesome Face" man for trick or treating...although I didn't get a picture of the later.

Gandolf the White..."You shall not enter!"

Baby was "Baby Bear" of course...all part of HB's grand scheme...she wanted Chris and I to be Mama and Papa Bear and then gave the boys the fantastic option of being either a bowl of porridge or a chair...

Ah...well...you know...hmm...

Dear sweet, wonderful Autumn,
I love you so. Your colors continue to amaze me! The weather has been perfect and every where I go I feel content to go slowly and take the time to marvel at your sights and smells and sounds. I know winter is coming but I plan to savor you for as long as I can.

Your most ardent admirer,
Amy
