Halloween, Part Two

Wherein Roxi the Clown and Gib the Perpetual Pumpkin go door-to-door with neighborhood chums.

Wherein I learn that face paint seems like a good idea on the front side, but ends up smeared everywhere but the appropriate faces within a half hour.

Wherein Roxi shouts things like "Let's go, peeps!" and "It's all about the candy, girls!" ... and Gib gets really excited about scoring two small bags of pretzels.

Halloween, Part One

Wherein Princess Roxi and Pumpkin Gib haunt the offices of AMD and leave with buckets full of candy.

Watch Out for the Stampede

The Bennett Elementary Bronco Stampede was today. It's the big fundraiser for Roxi's school ... kids get pledges for running around the property as many times as they can in 35 minutes. Last year, Roxi ran 4 laps and vowed that this year she would do more. True to her word, she has been training at the CSU track and at Bennett's running club Thursday mornings for the past several months. Also true to her word, she bested her output by 2 laps this year. Six laps (nearly 2 miles!) equals a medal, so she was quite the happy camper at the finish line.

As If

Rob, questioning why Roxi isn't interested in reading Little House in the Big Woods: "I don't understand why you're resisting this."

Roxi: "Dad, I have things to do."

Well Prepared for Halloween
