Dragon

I found some cheap Halloween costumes (6 bucks!) at the grocery store and asked Grace if she wanted to be a bumblebee or a dragon.  Of course she said dragon (I didn't even bother to mention the princess costumes).  I got one for Jake too and he likes it, but he won't wear it.  Maybe some candy will motivate him to put it on.  Grace likes her costume a little too much and wants to wear it all the time.  Hopefully it will last until Halloween.

Zachary

We had a great week with Zachary and Erin.   The week was filled with kids running around, toys scattered everywhere, somebody always tired, somebody always hungry, lots of diapers and lots of diet coke and coffee.  It was exhausting and chaotic but definitely fun.  It's nice to see the cousins together.

Zachary bumped his head the first day here, so on some pics I used photoshop and edit out the bruise and on some I haven't had a chance to yet, you'll see.  It was pretty nasty looking.

We did manage to get a decent group picture, which is not easy with 7 people, 3 of them kids.

Zachary Visits Cleveland

Zachary is visiting for a week.   He loves running around the house opening doors and cabinets.  Grace loves playing with Zachary and helping take care of him.  At first Jake did not like Zachary invading his personal space, but he is getting used to it and will even tolerate Zachary petting is head.  The kids are having a great time.  The adults are exhausted!
