Today was fantastic. Ok, maybe a tiny bit hectic but still wonderful. Lots of great memories and plenty of great pictures. For ccd this morning Anthony's teacher picked him to dress up as St Patrick. For those of you that think Anthony as a saint is a stretch, the reason she picked St Patrick was because he also had trouble following directions. This afternoon the kids had a photo shoot at Ijams Nature Center in Knoxville. Anthony turned into a little supermodel striking poses and Miss Emily got free run of the place so she was also all smiles. I'm so happy with the pictures. They turned out beautiful. Of course the models are gorgeous so I guess that's to be expected. This evening was trunk or treat at a local church. Anthony got to jump in bounce houses and go down slides, play games and win prizes and got cotton candy. Mommy got a snow cone. Yummy! Then off to a few houses for trick or treat'n. First we went to Aunt Kim's. Then it seemed like every house we went to Anthony knew the people living there. Then off to see the neighbors Roger, Gloria, Junior, and Gina. As if he didn't have enough candy, they really filled his bag to the top. He could barely carry it. Lucky for him, Emily can only have lollipops. Unlucky for him, Grandpa snagged a few pieces, with permission of course. Daddy made a secret stash of his own. I don't know about Grandma but Mommy had some for herself too. Good thing that pile was big. Wait, I take that back, it was HUGE. The kids finally calmed down from their sugar highs are are now sound asleep snuggled in their beds. HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!
