Fall and Halloween

Charlie is reminding me of Benny when he was a baby.

They are wearing the same outfit, Charlie above, Benny below.

 Andrew has started wrestling with the big boys.  He likes to wrap himself around Benny's head. In this picture he is casually laying across his face.

 The kids were so excited to rake the leaves and jump in them.

 One of Spencer's goofy faces that day.

 Lila did her hair with the headband.

 Spencer was so excited for Halloween he wrote himself a few reminder notes in case he got so frenzied that he forgot what to do.  The note says to himself, "Happy Halloween. Get ready for school.  Mimi Marathon then party."

 The first note was in his room on the floor. Then he drew arrows to his clothing that he had laid out 4 feet

 away.  

 The note in the kitchen says, "put Spencer's lunch in bag."  I guess that one was for me.  It was right next to his lunch bag.  His lunch food was in a tidy pile next to his bag.  Why not just put the food in the bag?

He is a funny and quirky kid.

 I found Lila mowing the lawn with the toy mower in her Cinderella dress.

  And here we have Halloween.  Benny wore our Hulk costume to school, but his soccer uniform trick or treating - an easy soccer player costume.

 Charlie was the cutest clown or jester ever.

 Andrew wore my favorite chicken costume.

 Luke wanted to be a headless horseman.  Spencer rigged him a volleyball head and elevated shoulders.

Spencer was Dracula.

Here is the crew minus Spencer.  He went with some friends.

 It has been so wet.  We are growing mushrooms like crazy.

 This one was a whopper.
