The Halloween Circus





9am church is often a challenge. Usually whoever we sit by was there long before we arrive enjoying the peace and quiet. Then we come, and an hour later we apologize for bringing the circus to them. No apologies for our circus on this day! This year we had an elephant (which might look familiar), a lion, and - by special request - a blue fire-breathing dragon with green wings (kind of similar to last year's green dinosaur request). After the traditional trick or treating at my work on Friday, we went down to Great Grandma's and then Granny's for the Saturday event. Everyone had a great time, and there is something about getting candy that motivates these boys to get the hang of it pretty quickly.

Dodger Blue



Beau finishes season #2 of t-ball tomorrow night. He had such a good time on the A's this summer that we signed him up for the fall league. I volunteered to be the coach of the Dodgers (how could I have known that they would knock my beloved Cardinals out of the playoffs?), which has been fun, although I haven't been able to spend as much time with just Beau this time around. We've also got a couple of three year-olds on the team who still have a hard time with my "no dog piles" rule. These games have turned out to be the most entertaining hour of each week, and I know Beau will be sad to see another season come to an end.
