October

Lukey turned 8!  He had some friends over the weekend before his birthday. Luckily it didn't rain and they were able to play outside.  It was so busy that I didn't even think about taking pictures during the party.  Too much craziness.  He had soccer practice on his birthday proper, but on the next day, he had family over for pizza and cake.  

This is how Anna and Lukey spend a lot of their time.  They like Geronimo Stilton books a lot right now.

Trick or treating in Plymouth with Leah and Juliet

We went to a birthday/halloween party that we all dressed up for.  Tim was dressed up as a ?? Maybe a lion tamer? Freddie Mercury? I found these pants for him in the morning on the day of the party on a rack of past recital costumes at Anna's dance place.  They looked good with his moustache.

Our pumpkins looked great this year!  From left to right-Luke's, Tim's, Mommy's and Anna's.  Luke carved his all on his own this year.

Before going trick or treating.  We were out almost the entire trick or treating time this year.  It was a nice night out.  

Earlier this year, Chester passed away.  We were very sad about it.  He was a great cat.  We visited the DIA a few weeks ago and they had offendas on display for Dia de los meurtos.  We decided that to celebrate this year too and set the offrenda for Chester.  Ralph E. and Dash were there too.  This way, they were able to cross over and visit for a few days.  

Oliver misses Chester.  He meows more than he used to.
