Trick or Treat!

Creepside Festival-downtown Gahanna


The family pumpkins!



My sweetheart~!


Ready for trick or treat!

Halloween night was brutally cold with temperatures in the 40's. Quinten loved getting dressed up but decided against going out to collect the goodies. He preferred to stay home with daddy to pass out candy. Quinten went to the houses down the street and came home to hang out with daddy on the porch. We participated in numerous Halloween activities-downtown Gahanna, the library, school parade and the main event. Quinten's costume came from several sources all of which he will actually wear again!

Before the big lip episode...

"The Destructors" as Mark liked to call them!

Mark's brother and family came over for the OSU/Purdue game weekend. We always enjoy their visits and were happy to host them once again. The boys are two years apart and have begun what I hope is a long friendship. They played nicely together and Quinten was a good host sharing toys. Ethan was much more active than I remember Quinten being at his age but high energy in well behaved boys does not bother me at all. Ethan was fun and really entertaining for everyone. Since he had just turned two the previous weekend, we celebrated his birthday with Ohio family who could not be in Pennsylvania. Grandpa Jim, Grandma Cheryl and Great Grandma Thelma were able to be here on Saturday which made the time more special. Quinten enjoyed having someone to play with and cannot wait for them to be together again. There was one incident where the big wheel and bike collided which resulted in Ethan receiving a big fat lip but as Steve Zappe said "the visit would not have been complete without some blood!".
