Dogs and Kids

I decided I wanted a new background to look at for awhile and then thought I should post since I was at it. Life continues on and I have pictures of daily tid bits. One night when Pete and I were watching T.V. I happened to glance over and saw Hershey asleep with the Celtic basketball. She certainly is fitting into our family well. We were able to watch our nieces and nephew one afternoon. I had to take a few pictures. The kids were having a ball together and Pete and I had fun watching them. From what I gather, my niece hasn't fallen asleep like this for anyone else besides mom and dad. I guess we wore her out. (Plus the fact that Pete is a furnace!) Allie and Mallory were sharing their piano abilities and later Allie and Courtney decided to show us their fashion sense. We had deemed Hershey an outside dog for the day but Kate was enthralled with her so we gave her a closer look (safely behind the glass of coarse!) If you look closely you can see her face in the glass. She was pretty cute!

After a long day of waiting outside and finally let inside, Hershey girl wanted her blankey and her bed. Nightie, night puppy. Sweet dreams.

Happy Halloween

Connor's scout group got together and carved pumpkins. Connor's is Batman it turned out really cool. The girls wanted a vampire jack-o-lantern and so that's what we did. They had fun with dad carving it out. My job was preping them. Hershey wanted to eat the inner's but we kept her at bay.

The kids had a fun day today. The school had a spirit assembly at 8:30am that was a lot of fun. Later in the afternoon they had their costume parade and then classroom parties. I was mostly in Mallory's room helping out but made it to Connor and Court's for a few minutes. When the kids got home I took them trick or treating at a shopping center with some friends. It was fun to see all the costumes.

We had dinner out and then went out for the "real" trick or treating. I had been on my feet for too long today so I drove the car and Pete walked with the kids. They had fun and even met up with friends by chance. We even missed the rain. It stayed dry all evening and was even a little on the warmer side. Thank goodness!
