Here they are with their pumpkins

Here are the pumpkins we picked from the neighbors. That is very handy to be able to zip across the road with the troops, pick some pumpkins, and get them home without wasting the entire day. Notice that noone went with the little pumpkins.
Trick or Treating this year was a dilema. Do we stay at our new house with only a few places to hit, or do we take the time on a school night to trick-or-treat in old Naperville neighborhood. We opted for the old neighborhood. It was great to see the old neighbors. We really did have a great old neighborhood. So, this year we had a RockStar girl (Carly), SuperMatt, a Butterfly (Margaret), and the fourth person to be tigger. That costume was worth the purchase.

When the kids are playing well togethor, it is worth taking a picture! This was after dinner one night while cleaning up the family room. Matt ended up on top of Carly, then Margaret couldn't let this go on without involving her, and finally, we put Jack on top and took a picture. If you look into this set of pictures you will see carlys bulletin board, carlys sleepover, Matts train print, our 2000pc puzzle, etc..

Touchdown Jesus

This year the annual Notre Dame game was vs. the Spartans of Michigan State. We arrived at campus early enough to take a walk with the kids and get the annual picture in front of Touchdown Jesus. The weather was good, the kids handled the long ride pretty good, but the Irish lost. It was a foretelling of the kind of season they were destined to have. I am sure, fingers crossed here, that next season will be better and when the current freshman mature, they will be competing for a national title. Gotta keep the faith.
