Playing in the backyard

Here are a few pics from the backyard swinging and having fun. Jeffry is beginning to become very mobile (while in his walker) and scooting around on the floor when he can get his belly up off the carpet. Halloween was fun although somewhat uneventful. Jake does not like costumes and required some coaxing to get him outside. We moved our patio furniture to our driveway and sat around a nice fire with our neighbors and their kids. We only saw about 30 kids in costumes all evening and I was pretty disapointed at how many 8-12 year-olds were being driven from cul-de-sac to cul-de-sac by their parents to go trick-or-treating. Isn't there something to be said for actually walking awhile to "earn" the candy and maybe burn a few calories before they inundate themselves with Snickers and Smartees? We're looking forward to the holiday season and all the joy it brings.
