This is Halloween

William and his classmates are getting geared up for Halloween. Yesterday he came home with this drawing. I'm not sure exactly what the assignment was, but here is the result.

A little explanation is required:

• Starting on the Far left, that is a "Bad Man". You can tell this because of his squiggly mouth and off-center eyes.


• In the middle is a ghost that has eaten two people.
  It must be nice to be eaten by a ghost, because they are both smiling. There are also some other scribbles in the ghost. According to William, those are crackers. I guess that people aren't very filling.


• Finally, on the far right, another ghost that has eaten, you guessed it, more crackers.

Happy almost Halloween!

How do you know when Halloween is near?

Here's how! (ha ha ha)

Another sure sign of Halloween is a trip to Patterson Farm for face painting, corn pits, and a hayride into pumpkin patch. Click here to see photos.

"Water Day" Weekend at the Beach

All summer long, Megan has been calling our weekly trips to the local pool, "Water Day". So for Labor Day Weekend, we decide to take an impromptu trip to the beach and turn Water Day into Water Day Weekend.

Our hotel was right on the beach and the sand and surf was great. William, of course, loved running in the water. But Megan was a little concerned about the size of the waves (the were actually bigger than she was), and the taste of the water.

The first morning we woke up, we were greeted with this sight.

I tried to get past them, but wasn't so lucky.

Just kidding. It was actually an allagator park just across the street from where we were staying.

I've never seen so many gators in one place before.

We were even lucky enough to see a feeding. Man those things are big.

Oh, and remember the Shark Family drawing from a couple of weeks ago?

Well, apparently William isn't just creative, he is can also see into the future.

Here are the rest of our pics.

The Wedding Cake

Here it is!

Seems like such a small accomplishment for 12 hours of work. However, what you don't see are the 4 sheet cakes and the additional back-up wedding cake.

All I have to say is... phew!!! I'm glad that's over. :)
