Ahh, gotta love michigan. On Thursday I was sent out to look for features in South Haven, the Lake Mighigan beach community about a half an hour away from kalamazoo. Why? Because it was our third day in a row of 70 degree temps. In November. I found kids playing on the beach, taking advantage of the last remnants of summer, and it was nice have an excuse to be working outside in the sun. Today, it is currently 36 degrees and it was snowing this morning. Not enough to stick on the ground but it was definitely snow. Aaron was driving up north today and said he drove through a whiteout, which, however brief, still managed to freak out most of the drivers on the road. It still amazes me that Mighiganders can forget how to drive in snow over the course of a year. Hello, people, it's just snow. Remember last year? All that white stuff on the ground? It's baaaaack!With the arrival of our first snowfall, I figured I'd better finish posting some of our halloween pics. If you want to see them all, here's a link to the slideshow.
The boys had a great time with halloween, but I think after 4 different trick or treating excursions, they were a little worn out by Halloween night. I took my dinner break from work to join Aaron and the boys, and after a few minutes, Connor had ripped off his wig, then he started dragging his feet. Then he says, "Mommy, can you carry me?" So I picked him up and then he says, "I don't think I need any more candy," and refused to go up to any more houses. Can you believe those words came out of a kid's mouth? Below are a few pics from Grandma Candis, from when the boys "Stormed the castle" with their cousin, Wednesday. I thought these turned out great, especially considering their choice of costume. I actually ran into people in the past few weeks who have never seen The Princess Bride. If this is you, PLEASE see this movie. It is a classic. I will even lend you my copy.
