My how time flies.......

Oliver's first trip in the ocean! He LOVED it.

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope everybody had a great time. Our neighbor tried to tell us how big of a deal Halloween was in our neighborhood, and we grossly underestimated......we ran out of candy in about 5 minutes. There was literally 2-3 thousand people in our neighborhood (apparently it is the place to trick or treat on the whole island). There were haunted houses all over the place, people making snow cones for the trick or treaters, giving out bottled water to keep them hydrated, giving out beers for the moms and dads, it was CRAZY. Brayden had a blast, Oliver did okay for the first hour or so, then I took him home. There were cars and people everywhere, I think he got a little overstimulated. The night before Halloween, we were just hanging outside when we heard music, and there was a random parade coming down our street, people with torches, etc. It was the mayor of Piti, campagining for re election, we got to meet him and he gave Brayden a big ol' bag of candy. He lives just down the street from us. Local politics are a huge deal here, because though Guam has delegates for the primaries, they don't get to vote in the general election. I can't believe it is election time in a few days, I feel like I am perpetually stuck in July. Anyhow, get out and vote (unless you are voting for McCain/Palin, did you know they changed the election date to the 5th?)!!! Be well!!

Ollie's costume was made of felt, so we took it off to

go trick or treating, had to leave the mask though!

Our Pumpkin. B named it scary pumpkin man, but

had to sleep with it in his room for a few nights.

Why must you make me so so saaaaad?
