It's Finally Fall!

Wendi and I took the kids to the Duke Gardens last weekend. It was just amazing. It is so neat to live in an area that actually has 4 distinct seasons. The kids had a blast even with their mommies telling them to "smile" and "look at ME" and "hug your brother!" and "act happy?!@#!?@#"!!! They were great sports ;) 

We couldn't have asked for a nicer day! 

The leaves were so pretty!

The leaves were falling like snow when I snapped this. 

Drama Queen and Clown Boy....don't you just want to smooch them!?!?! 

Happy Fall! 

happy boy! 

Halloween 2005

We had a great time trick-or-treating. Miranda was really into it this year. Enjoy the photos of our own personal circus!
Love,
Stacy 

Miranda kind of stood at preschool! 

Spider cookies are good! 

This picture makes Ray and me laugh....it's like the escape of the little clown people.... 

Yes, clowns can be cranky, too! 

A picture of Miranda before school on Friday. 

Mommy's view most of the night :) 

Sam was bundled up and ready for some fun. 

As you can see, we didn't need a wig for Sam, just a little hairspray paint.... 

Did you say my name? 

Does this look unsafe to anyone else?!?!?! 

Sam's first experience with the "Jill"-O-Lantern (as named by Miranda) 

So happy....
