have a fire tonight?

Is a question asked routinely by Ryan.  The full version is “dark outside, have a fire tonight” and lately followed by him saying “don’t think so” (insert heartbreak).  But he defiantly shares his father’s love of watching fires and thanks to a bevy of wood provided by Pipa Andy, we obliged quite a few times this fall.  The pic above is of course our pre-trick or treating cookout fire, accompanied by the obligatory pumpkin and kids in costumes shots.  Ryan was all about trick or treating this year, not to happy to be dropped off with mom after doing the block with Dad.  Kyle and Grant kicked it into high gear, collecting will north of 100 pieces each.  The Great Pumpkin really hit the motherload after they picked out their favorites.  Ryan has played costume sidekick the past few years and I am not sure how long that would continue.  I really wanted to make the Thing 1 and 2 costumes so I could at least say one time that I made my kids costumes, but could not for the life of me find red sweats.  Kyle is done with character costumes, wanting to be something scary like a teenager would be, and settling on the evil jester.
