October 2012

October was soooo busy! We closed on the house on Oct.2 and most of it was taken up by remodeling. But first, here is what else happened in October. Thor watched Bronson's swimming practices in the afternoons and we tried to get him to wear goggles.

 Thor finally got over his irrational fear of the swinging drawbridge at the park:

 Now he runs back and forth across it like there's no tomorrow.

 Sabre and Austin went to homecoming together. I love the pictures! (Thanks Jenn for taking them--I was covered in kitchen cabinet paint when they were leaving!)

 What a cute couple they make!

 These were taken at Jenn's house since our's (both of them) were torn apart at the moment.

 And Halloween. Thor was a Chipendale dancer:

 That's him flexing his muscles:

 It is always horrifically hot in Arizona on Halloween night (and this year was no different--it was in the high 90s). While everyone else is wearing coats and longjohns under their costumes, we struggle to find costumes that are cool enough for kids to run around outside in. This was perfect! He had on black slacks and shoes and little french cuffs (complete with "jeweled" cuff links)--absolutely perfect for running around in the heat! (and yes, those are dollar bills from our Monopoly game in his waistband!) He hammed it up--stopping and dancing for everyone that gave him candy--it was hilarious!

And that was October!
