Never mess with a boy and his dirt..I am not sure what made Paxton more happy. Being in the dirt and not having to wash it off, or seeing his favorite person Buzz Light Year, its a tough call but I am going for dirt. He cant stay out of it at our house and he was more than happy to play in the sand for hours. This kid could live in the sand if we let him.

Deiderik had his first Halloween this year. He stayed in the stroller the whole time, but had a good time with all the kids 12 in all in our group. After a while Paxton joined him too much walking. This was the first year in about 10 that it did not rain, or snow. For that matter Samantha was able to have a short sleeved outfit that never happens.

Samantha is our mean lean soccer player. I knew she would have some skills but the girl can play and gets mad if anyone beats her. She loves to play and will do what it takes to win. Mom and dad have had to teach her its ok to loose she doesn't like that answer but what 6 year old does?
