busy evening.....

Jon and Charlotte Claire were excited to go bye-bye today. Camille is smart. She knew we were going somewhere, and when I put her down to take her picture, she was furious....

She looks so sweet in her little pink coat. It was like $2 last spring at a garage sale....Kathryn is such a great helper.....

The new Fisher-Price remote control Dinosaur, in the plastic case, just push the button for a scary demonstration.....at least one little girl thought it was scary. Jonathan just plain wanted it. For $129.99, I don't think so....

Desolate. That's how the trees look when the wind has whipped their leaves off.....

Joseph, Aaron, and Molly are going to Ottowa, Canada, for the weekend. I just found out. Oh well. I am glad for them, they are part of a wonderful youth group. That leaves fewer of us for Trick-or Treating. Emily and Abigail are going along with me, with Sam, Margaret, Kathryn, Evelyn, Suzanne, Sonja, Jonathan, Charlotte Claire, and Camille. We have only been doing this for a few years now. It's funny to be so against something for so many years, and then question why you thought it was so wrong....and change your mind. I personally didn't think it was too bad, but Paul didn't care for it. Come to find out, he just doesn't care for Halloween, he would rather do other things....he has no problem with me taking the kids, and wishes us the best of fun, and would come if we wanted him to. But you know how it is when someone is just along because they are asked to, and don't really want to be there? It's better to just leave him home, and have lots of fun without worrying about whether he wants to get going now.....It's hard to explain, but I enjoy being the pilot of the big white van sometimes, stopping for a coffee if I please, and taking all the live long day.....he is not a tryrant, just someone who doesn't like to galavant like I do....but we sure do like each other.
