Personally, I call it Bobbing for Apples. My germ conscious children call it Bobbing for Influenza, Bobbing for MRSA.... I mean c'mon they are all family! It's not as if we invited the trick or treaters in off the street to put their germs in there. Logan worked really hard. Gracelyn was the first to get one. Wyatt reached in and took a bite out of every apple. And then they costumed up. See how one is not co-operating? He really does not like to sit still. and pretty much refused to pose. Kendall channeling either Honey Boo Boo or Endora from Bewitched. We were not sure, but that was really some eyeliner. It was cold, but they persevered. Garren was the youngest monkey. And Logan was Toad. I didn't understand it until he showed me it on Mario. Open house is over, vacation is over, now it is time to work on the camper. http://restoringavintagecamper.blogspo...

Just as a general disclaimer, some of this might have influenced the following pictures. Aunt Shelby on the swing with all four kids. This is a very hard shot to get, all four of them in one shot. The lollipops might have helped. "Are you really sending me out in public in this get-up?" Final touches for the garden gnome. Mario would have no part of a moustache. But Tyler/Luigi loved his! Kendall/Mermaid Girl got her first lollipop this year. She LOVED that! Her little tongue was moving so fast to lap that up. And after the costumes came off...Hey, Hey I Wanna Be a Rock Star. The pics are blurry, there was that much action. The big kids were fighting with the little kids for the "toys". And at midnight when they all left, Tyler was asleep in our bed and I said,"Just leave him here, I'll bring him home in the morning." This shot is about 7:30 in the morning after we have watched Tom and Jerry, read all four I Spy Books, played with Play- Doh and now...
