There go the tornado sirens! I am always so surprised when they go off, jumping a little and thinking, what on earth??? But then I remember that they are tested on the first Tuesday of every month at 10:00, yet another reminder that my life is ticking away at slow and regular intervals. There have been three since the baby came, but he still feels so new and fresh -- it can't be!
::Speaking of fresh, he was a crisp from the garden chili pepper for halloween
::Isn't he gorgeous?
::Phin was a rocket and when I would ask, "What do you say?" meaning "trick or treat" he would either make a rocket sound or say "you're welcome." Then we would jettison off to the next house -- it was very amusing to go with him. When Matthew went back home to pass out candy (we had left Charles in charge and he had simply turned out the light -- when we noticed, Matthew was embarrassed) he said that he really missed being with Phin, which I thought was very sweet.
::I didn't get very good pictures of the girls -- a queen, and a pixie -- which I guess is what you get when you're not the littlest anymore
Phin just asked if he could see pictures of him getting candy, but I had to disappoint and tell him that we haven't chronicled every single moment of his life. His sticky candy face has pieces of lint stuck to it right now because we started on the candy first thing this morning. I had to pull a chocolate tootsie pop out of his mouth and insist that he eat a whole wheat english muffin and a glass of milk before the gorging began. I let them eat what they want for a few days before I confiscate it, which is meaner than my mom who let us keep it in our rooms for months -- I was one of those who paced myself and ate a little bit each day. Ugh, I already feel sick. Phin is being so sweet offering me reeses pieces and candy corn, but if I'm going to be eating sugar I need it to be yummier than that. We had a trunk or treat last week so they've all already been eating candy every day, lazily scattering the wrappers pell mell around the house -- because you can't just be a glutton without the accompaniment of disorder and chaos, can you?

I love their costumes! Phin looks so great! I can just hear him making rocket noises!
They look adorable!!! I love their costumes too! Does Archie miss me? I miss him although I know the older he gets the less he will like me. Are you using your new camera because your pictures look very crisp and sharp? Love your prior post as well! I never win anything either but I want to. Those little pants are too cute!
