1 Ben REALLY wanted this guy from Safeway - "It's half price, mom!" So Gramma and Richard sent up the funds to get him after I caved and went back down to get it for Ben and surprise him after school. Ben thinks it looks a little like Richard...the chin, the hairy arms...thankfully Richard has an excellent sense of humor!
2 Captain America! Like the shield? Bay Hay had too many lids for their steel cans, thankfully. This is no plastic toy shield.
3 Seeing the crazy guy for the first time!
4 He talks!

6 Thanks, Gramma and Richard!
7 Hanging lanterns on the trails (which we cleaned the previous weekend, the boys and I). This is opening ceremonies for our annual Halloween party. I invite neighborhood newcomers, and regulars, and don't ask for an RSVP, and never know how many people will show or if I'll even know them, especially with costumes on!
