Halloween fun. And a new addition to the family!

Gracie is getting the front porch ready for her cousin's to come over. She and the boys made a "Bloody Diner".








Jack, Gracie, Mason, Sam and Will.

We've started a fun way to get together in the last 2 years. Each family brings something to my house to cook as part of a larger dinner. This year I made the kids a taco nacho bake. After they were done, Rachel made a spectacular shrimp past dish, Tara made a delicious salad and bruschetta and I made cheddar biscuits and dessert. Everything was soooo' good.







The kids played hard that day. Can you tell?

Mason was eating taffy :)






We were invited to go trick or treating with the Parrell's this year. Here Heather dressed as a mechanic. I, on the other hand, liked my outfit that day and decided not to change for the night.

Meet Lucy, our newest addition to the family. Beth, if you are reading this, yes, she's named after your little peanut. This kitten showed up Halloween morning while the kids waited for the bus. She greeted them when they got home. She's the cutest darn thing. Even Bryan likes her. Three days later, I took her to the vet for an exam. She's in good health, 8 weeks old and is part Siamese. Long story short: we now have an outside cat!! Since Bryan is allergic, little Lucy has a bed in the garage and is only allowed in the hallway near the back door. Isn't she adorable?
