What does a Giraffe say?

Porter was a Giraffe for Halloween. Maybe I should start at the beginning.

Evan's sister Laura is nuts about Pumpkins. It could be due to the fact that her birthday is on Halloween, or that she was raised in a pumpkin patch, I'm not sure. Every year during the week of Halloween, she spends literally days carving, planning, gutting, and caring for her pumpkins. I love it! Her planning starts Nov. 1 of every year for the next Halloween. To be quite honest, she's really good at it, and has a following which is growing each year. If you saw her house in person, you'd understand. It's amazing! Here's a few that I carved myself from the Harry Potter series: Voldemort, Serious Black, and Dumbledore. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of work.

My parents came down to be with P and go "trick or treating" with us. We took them to Cafe Rio first, then off to the neighborhood. Here's how Grandma and Grandpa always leave P when he eats with them! YUM!!! They were fun to have around, and we hope they enjoyed their visit.

P didn't really know what was going on, but loved playing with the big kids and LOVED dressing up. The next morning, he came tearing out of his room holding his costume up, really excited. It was so cute!
