Ocotber

The month of October started out with a field trip to the pumpkin patch with Claire's preschool. We were so glad that Jerry and Miles could come, too. Halloween was so fun this year!!! The weather was perfect and Miles was old enough to really get into it. Each time we left a house, Miles would call "Bye! Thanks!" in his version of a grown-up voice. People loved the sweet little cowboy. He got to wear his favorite boots and shirt. Darren was Harry Potter. He liked wearing Jerry's old glasses so much that he wore them to church the next day (without the lenses,) and asked us several times if we thought he looked smart. Claire was a "wedding girl." Halloween is one of our top-favorite holidays because we LOVE candy!!! The benefit of having lots of kids is getting lots of candy. Sadly, it didn't last long!

According to Darren

Me: Darren, what are you writing?
Darren: Oh, just a list of all my girlfriends . . . I have so many I can't even remember all their names!

Me: Wow! Well, how can they be your girlfriend if you don't even know their name?
Darren: Well, that just means I like them!
