I don't know if you will be able to see the detail, but I had to share the drawing Trevor did today since I was so impressed with it. The big red bodied animal is a dog, all the circles in the house are garbage can lids. I asked why so many garbage can lids and Trevor said because they are all full since they don't like to take out the garbage. The person on the right is the mommy watching the kid on the left. The other squares in the house are full garbage cans. Oh, and outside is the grey car with green wheels. He usually draws little things, but nothing this detailed, so I thought I would be a proud parent and share it. To be honest, I think he got inspired by looking at all of Sydney's drawings.

Kelsey konked out on the way home, and yes, her neck did hurt when she woke up.
Trevor and Sydney had fun playing together. I showed this picture to Sydney and she told me it looked so nice, like they were getting married.
I think this is almost a first - all the kids (except for Rylan) close, smiling and looking in the direction of the camera.
Everyone sitting on the wood pile waiting for the soffit wood to be put on top. Kelsey was crying because she thought the forklift was going to get her, and it was still in the shop.
All the cousins (except Rylan) in the back of the truck getting ready for the forklift to put wood on our trailer. We went to Pendleton for Halloween with the Dodge cousins and to get wood for our deck and soffits from the Dodge wood mill.
All dressed up and ready to go get some sugar highs.
Trevor with his 'scary' pumpkin.
Kelsey with her 'nice' pumpkin.
Todd's pride and joy pumpkin. I broke down and bought a pumpkin carving kit, and those tiny knives worked so much better than our huge kitchen knives.
Trevor cleaning up his pumpkin after it got carved.
Todd working on Kelsey's tiny pumpkin.
Our Beaver Believer!! I bought the colored cheerios (like Trix) last week for the kids as a treat, and Kelsey won't eat the yellow ones because 'that's yucky - we don't like the ducks.'
Marbles is adjusting just fine and loves to come out and play with the kids. She still wont' let them pet her, but she plays close to them.
