Orange ya' glad it's Halloween?

We have entered the age of the knock knock joke. As Grandma and Grandpa will attest to after having an interrupting lion, pig, goat, chicken, horse, as well as a cow, come a' knockin. He also seems to think that any word can replace "orange" in the banana joke. For instance, bat will knock over and over again, then suddenly it's pumpkin. Pumpkin ya' glad I didn't say bat?

Emmet also is getting in on the act.
"Knock knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Juice"
"Juice who?"
"I ha juice!"

Silas is loving all things Halloween at the moment. He spent the morning cutting scary things out of the newspaper. And has been telling everyone he meets that he has a cheetah costume. Emmet's going to be a lion. Here's a preview. The make-up needs work, we were ina rush to get to the library Halloween story and craft time.


Apologies for my prolonged absence. We weer away on vacation in Michigan for a week, then came back to a new computer, with a new operating system, and nothing where I can find it. And then. we became hooked on watching Lost on Netflix Instant so every evening was two hours of that. And then Orrin was traveling to the Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan for work for two weeks so the boys and I escaped to Grandmas in Michigan and Indiana. But now we are back home and getting caught up and I will try to be more consistently here. (Hmm.. where have we heard that promise before?)
