Gems of Wisdom

Gems of Wisdom from Landon:

"It smells tree-ish." (This is when you roll down the window in your car after a fresh rain)

"It's Washington out." (This is when it's pouring down rain)

"Only God, Darth Vader, and Jesus can read your mind." (He was totally serious about this)

A Good Witch, a Samurai, and Ironman

For Halloween the kids were dressed as a good witch, a samurai, and ironman. They did the typical school parties & then we went to a "trunk-or-treat" in the evening (it's where people we know get together & decorate the trunks of their cars & hand out candy to the kids- it's so much safer than going door to door). They had a blast. And yes, I have a blast dressing them up too. One of the treats they got was a little bag that included a toothbrush & toothpaste (apparently from a dentist). I told Dave he could hand out little rubbery skeletons or spines that have his name & his practice name on them. Okay, okay, that was really his idea.

Indian Summer

Traditionally, every fall we go to play in the leaves. We've had a long, beautiful, and warm fall here.
