i was not involved in the dressing of this boy today.

2 very capable people with 57 years of clothing experience were.

charlie picked out the too big shorts and shirt.

dad attempted to get them on.

sam said...

i look like i'm going to the beach.

he was going to dinner,

aloha!

halloween with the hoodlums.

decorated our rented golf carts.

caravanned through the streets.

jumped on the hayride.

made sure we hit the important houses.

got a lot of candy.

sampled some along the way.

dumped, sorted, and traded when we got home.

happy rockers and gawden gnome.

already talking about next year's costume.

he was so not interested in sticking his hand in a pumpkin...

so i put him in one instead.

hee hee.

actually he was just way cranky after his nap.

middle is never a fan of the pumpkin guts.

i am sure that is why he picks the smallest pumpkin every year.

after the third patch big finally found the perfect pumpkin.

that or the threat of not having one at all this year finally sank in.

jack-o-lanterns complete.

gave it his all as catcher...

his least favorite position.

tagged out the first runner and the second.

called the plays in the in field.

chatted up his teammates in the dug out.

has been wanting to hit it over the fence all season.

today, it bounced off the top of it.

not that he wouldn't have showed up today.

but i think he had a little extra incentive in the stands.

on a mission.

helping grandpa search for wheat pennies.

connor and charlie looked for an hour.

nicklaus and cassie about 20 minutes...

and only that long because they had a magnifying glass.

dollars were awarded for every penny found.

trip to the toy store tomorrow.
