Sorry Amber, I meant to do this yesterday but I wanted to ask Doug to answer some of your questions.

I love this picture. I am the clown and my brother is the Dinosaur. I love his face, it is perfect. I think I was a clown most of the time.


1. What is your all time best Halloween costume? Doug also remembers the Dinosaurs. One year my Mom spent a long time making me an Angel costume, then of course on Halloween it snowed and I had to wear my snow pants and coat. I was so disappointed.
2. What is your favorite Halloween tradition? We didn't really have many traditions, but I loved carving pumpkins and then baking the seeds after.
3. What is your favorite Fall tradition? We don't really have any fall traditions yet, but this year I picked apples and made applesauce. Don't really know if this will become a tradition, but I would love to do it every year. Also we are going to go to a pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkins.
4. What is your favorite book? I love so many books that this one is hard. Doug of course loves Ender's Game, which I really like too. I also love Jane Eyre. Doug wonders how I can read the same book so many times.
5. Name 3 great things that happened to you today. (this is going to be yesterday since it is too early in the morning) 1. James asked to go potty at nap time. Although he didn't really go in the the toilet at least he asked right? 2. We had Brinner (Breakfast for Dinner) which is James' favorite so he ate really well. 3. I finally got all the laundry put away.
6. What is your all time favorite dessert? I don't really know what my favorite dessert is, I know Doug's is Cheesecake. We had this really yummy fried Cheesecake for our anniversary. I love Apple Crisp, and I really love how it makes my house smell (like fall, which is my favorite season).
7. Tell me something you look forward to doing in the next month. Going to the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, and baking the seeds. Also trick or treating with James for the first time. Also shopping for Doug's birthday. I have a lot of great ideas this year.
8. Tell me something you are going to give someone else for Christmas (I need ideas!) We signed James up for the Disney Movie Club (if anyone wants to do this let me know, I have a coupon for 4 movies for $1 and the next 2 movies for $20) also Doug is getting Lasik next year. He says that is his Christmas present, but he will also get some other things. I can't think of anything for Michael, but I thought of making them a beanbag, or getting an art easel, or a play workbench. Also James needs new books (Doug is getting tired of the books he has) and I am working on a list of books that I want to get for them.

Hi Natalie---If you want any book suggestions I am quite the expert on picture books because I taught for a few years in an elementary school and had an unhealthy (financially at least) obsession with ordering from book orders. FYI.

That was a great read, To learn how you felt about your Halloween and all. It's fun to know all that.
