Funny video of Sadie using an improvised walker while at Grandma's. She has finally started walking on her own this week, though she's still pretty wobbly. I'll try to post a good video of it soon.

Halloween at Grandma's
I took the kids to Grandma's house in San Antonio for Halloween weekend. (Poor Matt had to stay home and study.) We had so much fun! Their ward had their Trunk-or-Treat Saturday night. Michael was so excited to get to go trick-or-treating again!
By the second time around, Michael had this figured out. Mom and Grandma had to run to keep up with him.
Visiting Grandpa's trunk was extra special.
A bucketful of booty!
Even more exciting, however, was giving out candy with Aunt Sarah on Halloween night! Believe it or not, he was this animated for 1 1/2 hours giving out candy. It was a true lesson that "It is better to give than to receive."

Halloween Fun
Here is one happy fireman!
Sadie (if you can't tell) played the part of the faithful dalmatian fire dog.
We had lots of fun at our ward's Trunk-or-Treat on the 27th. Michael loved trick-or-treating! Sadie had no idea what it was all about, but tolerated it pretty well.
Matt sacrificed several hours to decorate our trunk in preparation for the event. Decorations included spider webs, flying bats, miscellaneous bugs, and a partial skeleton. When the trick-or-treating started, he folded down the back seat of our car, climbed through to the trunk, covered himself with a black sheet, then waved the bones around and made spooky sounds to scare the kids. They loved it! . . . However, I'm not so sure how Matt felt about it when it was all said and done. He took some abuse from several 10-year-old boys who thought it was funny to grab the bones and whack him under the sheet. And the fact that it was still 80 degrees out and pretty hot under there. . . . But all that work paid off. We won the funniest trunk award and got a trophy and everything! Good job Matt!
