Anna came up to Daddy today with a 4-legged Grandaddy Longlegs spider in her hands. She wanted to keep it as a pet.

I'm not sure what happened to the other legs, but it's great to have a little girl that's not afraid of spiders. She continues to amaze.

Ben made a necklace in Sunday School a few weeks ago. Along with the beads were three silver fobs with the words "knock", "ask", and "seek" on them.

Ben made Grandmommie a drawing for Thanksgiving that incorporated those fobs (glued to paper on top of a magic marker creation). When he gave it to her, he explained the words.

Knock is for when you knock on someone's door to see it they're home.

Ask is for when you ask them if you can come inside.

Seek is for when you look around to see what you can steal.

Daddy thinks Ben may have misunderstood that particular Sunday School lesson.

• Anna helping Daddy poke holes to transfer her pumpkin pattern for her Jack-o-Lantern, then helping pull out the pieces of pumpkin as Daddy cut them out.
• Ben carefully poking holes to transfer the incredibly intricate pattern he chose for his Jack-o-Lantern.
• Anna as the cutest witch ever.
• Ben's dalmation costume and makeup (and acting skills).
  
• Making stand-up cutouts of a witch and Frankenstein's monster with Gigi and Daddy Wayne.
• Trading and comparing candy among the kids and our guests well into the evening.
