Just your typical crazy week coming to an end. Halloween was fun this year. Shawn and I ran around like mad men trying to hit as many houses as possible this year. I can't believe how many regular size candy bars he got this year. It was also very nice to have decent weather for the first time in what seems like forever. One of the funniest houses we went to was the home of a local college football coach that will remain nameless to protect the guilty. Shawn went walking up to his house and through coach's dining room window you could see coach sitting there looking out the window for unsuspecting kids. As the kids would walk up to the door, coach pushed a remote control to make a jack-o-lantern fart! Then coach could be seen laughing hysterically. Now this doesn't seem too funny but have you ever seen a grown man weighing in at at least 350 to 400 pounds laughing his head off over a fart machine? It was a sight to be seen. What a blast!

Lisa and I went to parent teach conferences yesterday and the review went very well. Shawn's teacher has a reputation for being a mean woman so Lisa was a bit apprehensive going into the meeting but once the teacher said Shawn was gifted about 5 times, Lisa changed her tune! The teacher was worried that Shawn was bored (which he is at times) and told us that we should enroll him in art classes because she thinks his artwork is advanced for his age. She also said he is reading well beyond his age. Overall, a great meeting!

That's really all I have to report for now. Here are a few new pictures of Halloween and the "Pirate's Booty" we found going door to door. Sorry about all the pictures but there were so many decent ones I had to post them all!
