Family Pictures
We spent Saturday afternoon at the Botanical Gardens with my sister and her family and got some great pictures. Here are some of my favorites.

Halloween
I seem to be slacking in the blogging department since it is now the 5th and I still haven't uploaded Halloween pictures. Thanks for the gentle reminder Charlee :~) Love you bunches!
I can't believe I don't have that many pictures of the kids in their costumes. This is why I don't hand the camera off to others. Not sure it would have mattered because Sydney was in no mood to have her picture taken. She absolutely would not smile for the camera. She didn't even get excited that she won the Cake Walk at our church's Harvest Festival and won a huge plate of chocolate chip cookies. She wanted nothing to do with it, so I picked the one with a cute Halloween plate. What can I say? I am resourceful like that! Come to find out later, she had strep throat, so I guess she is allowed to be a little cranky.
You will also notice that Sydney has 2 different costumes throughout the night. She started as Tinkerbell, but about an hour into that costume she informed me it was "too itchy". Keep in mind, she wore the same type of costume last year with no problems, but this year, she wanted nothing to do with it. So, we broke into the dress up clothes and made a make shift princess costume for the remainder of the evening. Everything worked out well, the kids had a blast, and we now have W~A~Y too much candy. Don't tell the kids that each day I go through their baskets and weed out a few more pieces to send to Daron's work or to put in the treasure box at school. Shhhhhhh........
