Halloween

Here are pics of the kids before going trick or treating. Amy-hippie, Aaron-Alphonso Soriano(Cubs player), Annie-Statue of Liberty, Andrew- Bob Sanders(Colts Player). Andrew is sure that he looks "just like" Bob Sanders. Now, Bob Sanders has black skin and dreadlocks. He was upset with me for not letting his hair grow so he could look more like him. Joe finally stated the obvious and said"But Andrew, Bob Sanders is black." He replied "Dad, nobody looks at skin color, only their hair." Sweet innocence, I hope he stays that way. He also doesn't like us calling people black, because they are really brown, he says. Too cute. We had a fun time, only went to our neighborhood, the Estridges(we are their only trick or treaters!), and a few houses when we dropped Amy off at a friends house. Joe and I have successfully picked out our favorites, and they have hidden the rest. The dog got a couple Reese cups, not bad, compared to Easter!

I voted!

Joe and I waited an hour and a half to vote. We did our civic duty. Luckily, we don't have to worry about getting persecuted when we leave the voting place, it is a true freedom we have. A very long line. When I picked up Andrew at school, there were few people at that polling place. My friend Linda didn't have to wait long either. I am going to try and post some pictures of Halloween, in another post. This is Annie's patriotic get up. Isn't she cute?

It is a beautiful day, one of the last of the season, so we are going to try and take some family pics outside after school.
