Miles J. Grimmius, MD

An evil auntie thought Miles was going to be a pimp for halloween. And an evil uncle suggested throwing a garbage bag over Miles and calling it good. Am I really related to those two people?! Geesh. I'm a little concerned about how Hannah and Da Boyz are going to survive halloween this year. At least they will all be together; there's strength in numbers, you know.

Anyway, I present to you the youngest and most handsome doctor in Owatonna:

We had a blast at the halloween party last night! All sorts of friends were there, although we had a hard time recognizing them.

Ava was a shy kitty cat.

Lauren was a BEAUTIFUL princess.

Claire was the cutest and pinkest monster on the block.

Here are all of the kids plotting out a scary night... You can see that Kennedi arrived as a very pretty witch (and a very busy witch who wouldn't stand still for a picture). Gabriella came ready to cheer on the team of toddlers.

There were lots of great activities for the kids to do. We made candy necklaces -

painted pumpkins -

climbed on fences -

and laughed at Claire as she ate supper (but kept her moster suit protected).

The kids also helped break a couple of pinatas. We really could have used Hannah's help singing the pinata song...

....and maybe her help directing Miles where to find the candy. Oh well. Some day he'll learn.

A special thanks to the Deschler family for letting us join in all of the halloween fun! Here's to a spooky night for the trick-or-treaters next weekend. BOO!

hello?

Hi!

We are still here. Just haven't been faithful bloggers lately. We're going to a halloween party tonight, and I'll do my best to get some pictures of it posted yet this year...

Miles was going to be a tiger but changed his mind last night. Whenever he sees his tiger costume, he points to it and says "NO TIGER." Like he's mad at it or something. Poor tiger.

I scrambled and found an alternative costume, but I'm going to keep you in suspense... Okay, a few hints:

1. It's not an animal.
2. It's not something that Miles specifically asked to be...instead, it was on the clearance rack at Target. Extra discount because there are parts missing.

3. I don't think it is something many other children will be for Halloween. Perhaps some adults will choose this costume, though. And for some of those adults, it will be quite easy to come up with the materials.

That's all for now.

Getting ready for halloween

Boo!

And here's a picture of Miles from Octobr 2008...just one year goes by and he turns into a little boy.
