Couple of random pictures

Here are just a few random pictures of the kids.  Above, James picked out his Halloween costume early this year.  Almost a month ago when we were buying school supplies he saw this Batman costume at Walmart and thought it was really cool.  I didn't get it for him then, because I thought it was a little early to think about Halloween.  Well, when we went back to Walmart about a month later, James ran right to where the costume was and said how cool it was and how he would love to be Batman for Halloween.  This time I gave in and bought it and he has loved wearing it and can't wait until Halloween.

Here's cute Ellie being silly.

These are pictures of Tori with her hair done for "Crazy Hair Day" at school.  She said she wanted lots of crazy braids.

Cute kids cuddling on the couch.

Happy 7th Birthday, Tori!

 We all love our sweet 7 year old Tori!  She is bright, happy, can always find the positive in a situation and loves being a big sister.  Above, Tori is having her birthday dinner.  She choose to have steak as her special meal, which Mom and Dad enjoyed having with her.  James and Ellie aren't huge fans, but they enjoyed the rest of the food.

 Tori had a very fun day.  She loved all her gifts.  Above her and her bear are in their new matching dress-ups (I like that she still enjoys dressing up.).  Below she is thrilled that her Dad finally gave in and got her a scooter.  He's seen enough kids with broken arms from riding them that he hasn't been too thrilled with scooters, but really wanted one for her birthday and I don't think we're going to have to worry about her being to crazy on it.

 We didn't have a big birthday party this year, but we did invite some new friends over for cake (Bence, Tyler and Abby).
