Day 300 - Thursday, October 27, 2011 – By far one of the kids' favorite Halloween activities...Ghosting! This year proved to be as much fun as in years past. Owen decided he wanted to run up to his friend's door by himself. Meanwhile Jordyn, Liam, and I couldn't stop laughing as we watched Owen drop things and stumble and then giggle uncontrollably as he ran all the way back to the car. It was a riot. Targets this year: the Kerins, the Snables, and the Prusas.

As sad as we are to say goodbye to summer, I have two out of three kids who are thrilled to be going back to school. Jordyn is looking forward to, as a sophomore, no longer being the low man on the high school totem pole. Liam is looking forward to, as a fifth grader, ruling the elementary school. And, Owen, as a second grader, is already looking forward to Friday.
