...that's what Evie calls candy corn. I don't have a picture to go with that, but I thought it was funny anyway.
Here are our two Halloweeners. No new costumes this year--Mickey Mouse was back as was the duck costume that Evie wore when she was one. I think this picture is really adorable despite Graham being terribly out of focus (one of my many stupid human tricks). They were in awe of each other's costumes for the first half hour or so.
Evie responding to my reverse psychology ("hey! don't look at me!")
Our local high school had a safe trick or treat that we went to the night before Halloween. Here is Graham roaming the halls looking for someone, anyone to give him candy.
Next we headed to my parents' country "getaway (from nothing)". I have a hard time taking pictures of scenes which don't contain people, but my mom insisted I capture the sunrise. This is the ONLY benefit of waking up when it's still dark.
I thought the trees surrounding this path were pretty, so we got off the 4-wheelers for a picture. I plopped them down right in front of a little scrawny dead tree though. Another stupid human trick!
This one wasn't planned, however. The kids found a baby lady bug and were really excited about it.
My brother Jon is always making fun of Graham's "big ol' head" (and I laugh though I know it's not true; he has a perfect head). He will appreciate that I made it look smaller here by cropping the top off. Seriously though, is this not the sweetest little expression?
