Why I fell off the planet--Two busy boys and not enough time

Hugh Arabesque

To understand this post, you first need to watch a bit of Lindsey Stirling. She plays violin and dances at the same time:

We realized that Hugh was mimicking her with his "violin" (two building blocks), while dancing to "Old McDonald had a Farm." John David is kind if embarrassed  but here's the video anyway:

A friend from our ward took these pictures for us.  They turned out awesome.

Trick-or-Treating

For those who grew up trick-or-treating the idea is not novel.  However, John David did not grow up doing this so this is the first year John David could legitimately go.  He took Hugh who finally caught on at the end that he got something.  Apparently he would squeal because he knew something was coming.  John David was scared at first to go to doors but got the hang of it (he thought no one would have candy).  Hugh enjoyed himself too!

The office at our complex did some treats and balloons for the kids
