Well the blog master (TwinPop) has been delinquent with posting for 3 weeks now.  Weeks one and two can be written off to a bout of the flu and a chest cold.  Last week just got the best of him. We had planned on going to visit Cousin Carter, Aunt Heather and Uncle Mel (with the magic knuckles) on Halloween.  Unfortunately our Princess spiked a high fever at dinner on Friday the 30th so the plans were scuttled. A trip to the Dr. , some rest and medicine and she wanted to brave the neighborhood to get candy. We pulled our "fairy" and "scary Monster" through the neighborhood. What a bag of candy they got! A funny side note: Karen has been trying to explain Santa so that the kids will understand a little better this year.  Henry said that he wants a train. Well what do you know one of the neighbors was dressed as Santa and was passing out candy.   Through out the evening we had to remind the kids to say trick or treat and thank you. Well we come to Santa handing out candy and Karen says "what do you say?"  Hank replies: "I want a train".

Halloween

Unfortunately we lost a cherished member of the family. Karen's cat  (Ed's by marriage) of 17 years fell ill and had to be put down. She was a one woman cat, and that woman really loved her! She is missed.

The week following Halloween the kid's school hosted a fall festival, complete with pony rides, a maze and petting zoo. The next morning we went to the fair and saw all of the animals that we missed the night before. Our Princess just made the height needed to go on rides. Guess if they had fun.  As you can see from the artwork we are getting ready for Thanksgiving.
