Halloween #1 - School Dress Up

Dracula and our local vet are ready for the festivities at school today!

Happy Halloween

"The bestest day of my life!"

Abby woke up this morning and barges into the room:

"Daddy, today is the bestest day of my life. Want to know why? I have piano, a spelling test and estimation jar!" - wow.... neeeerddddd... lol

Robin, out of the blue yesterday:

"Daddy, when I grow up, I'm never going to smoke. And when I do, I'm not going to throw them on the ground."

That's... great... Rob.

X-Country Semis

Abby and her cousin Jack were in the cross country semifinals today. They both did awesome, finishing 27th and 47th respectively.

Tired after the race

Yes, they're the same age!

Must be a new babysitter

Every time we try a new babysitter, we're always "curious" to see what happened while we were gone (remember the "experience" in the forest??). Holly babysat tonight and when we went to check on Robin after arriving home, we noticed she was surrounded by 40 of her closest friends. She typically tells babysitters that this is "what I always do"... clown.

Thanksgiving

Unfortunately we didn't make the list on Abby's "thankful for" list. Bugs rejoice!

X-Country Chicken

Abby did her first cross country race today and finished first in her school (for grade 2 girls) and 19th overall. She had a great time and loves the whole "racing thing". Looks like she's off to the semi-finals at some point.

Homecoming

We're at my 15th (Beth's 16th) homecoming weekend in London. After a late night, I picked the family up at the Via station this AM and we toured around the campus for a couple of hours. We're now at "Adventures on Wonderland": an awesome indoor playground.

Robin has asked/reconfirmed numerous times "are we sleeping in the hotel? Are we eating dinner out? Are we having breakfast at a restaurant". Yes Rob. Classic.
