Happy Halloween!! Quinn was counting down the days and is so very excited about Halloween. I\’m a Halloween Grinch but I\’m putting on my best smile and effort.

Aunt Pam sends Quinn a halloween shirt every year for his birthday and I think this may be the coolest one ever. Don sent me text to dress Quinn in this shirt more often. Bad to the bone.

I\’ve asked Quinn a million times what he wants to be for Halloween and there were lots of zombie kind of requests which I wasn\’t digging. Maybe in a couple of years. So I took him to Target to look at costumes. He wanted to be every one that he saw. Then he saw the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costumes and said \”I want to be Michelangelo\”. Boom. Done.

You might remember he was Michelangelo last year.

Looking good!

Here he is with his buddies Nate (the Creeper) and Ethan (the pilot).

And Jake from soccer.

Eric is the Green Man from the Vancouver Canucks.

The school does a Halloween parade where the principal starts in the kindergarten room and winds through every room picking up a class. Here they are coming out of Mrs. Cano\’s room.

Quinn and his tball buddy Zach (aka Steve from Minecraft).

There are about 700 kids in the school so you can imagine how crazy it is. The Mama and Papa Razzi are out in full force!

Happy Halloween!

Carving Pumpkins

It seems like we are always late in carving our pumpkins, but we got them done!

Tuesday after school Quinn and I went up to Underwood Farms to pick out a pumpkin for all of us. After swim practice Quinn carved his pumpkin.

He calls it The Scream!

Wednesday when Quinn and I got home from soccer practice Don was outside getting started on his pumpkin. Then Quinn volunteered to do mine! Thanks buddy!!

He insisted we buy a pumpkin carving set when we got our pumpkins and that was the only thing he would use.

Cyclopes pumpkin.

Mae sent Quinn a really cute homemade book with pictures of Don carving his pumpkin at age 7. No surprise our boy likes an unconventional pumpkin too 🙂

Goodbye Bamboo!

This was one great car. Over the 10ish years we\’ve had this car it took us from California, to Seattle, to NJ, and back to California. Quinn\’s first ride was in this car. It took our families to so many places safely and comfortably. I loved this car and felt a little bit sad about trading it in. The name of the color was bamboo and it was the perfect name. Sometimes the car looked green and sometimes tanish and sometimes silverish. Bye Bambo, you served us well.

And hello Mama Blue. I\’ve been calling it Mama Blue just because I used to have Baby Blue. So far we are loving this new car. It\’s comfortable to drive and is full of new technology. It\’s not too big for our family of 3 but can seat up to 7. Get used to seeing it because it\’s going to be around for the next 10 years.
