Unbelievable. Six boys and eleven years without a broken bone, now we've had two in four months. We were at the high school this afternoon playing football and during the roughhousing Trevor accidentally stepped on Zack's hand. Poor Zacky. He was moaning about it all day, but unlike Lance's, it didn't look broken, so we just figured he was being dramatic. Then this evening Jeremy noticed it was starting to swell, so he took him into the doctor and he came home like this!

We've been having a fun Halloween holiday. I made a noble attempt at taking Halloween cookies to neighbors:

Of course the ones the kids make are just big awkward lumps, so I figured I'd make another "neater" batch later, but just haven't gotten around to it, and don't suppose I will. Oh well.

We went to Frightmares last weekend, which of course was a blast. Corben and I dragged each other into two of the haunted houses. I don't remember Corben ever being so cuddly! It was fun.

We went on the J&J hay ride to pick a pumpkin a couple of weeks ago, then the twins got to go there last week. One of the cute moms who does their neighborhood pre-school decided to do it, and the twins couldn't have felt more cool that they were going on a "field trip." Even though they had just been, they had a great time and came home full of excitement.

Two nights ago we went to the Syracuse pumpkin walk and the library's Halloween story hour. I just love Halloween. There are so many easy and cheap/free things to do to entertain your kids.
