Hello-ween - "And who are you supposed to be?"

For a 20 month old like Grant, Halloween can be exciting--everyone's got a new face, for better or worse. It's time the Benavidii updated their look.

Mommy's decided to change her image and "go country" to reconnect with her fan base. Mommy's got a tractor shirt.



And she got a cowboy hat. Gilley's, anyone?




Daddy needs a new gig, too. A Mexican wrestler who believes in science, perhaps?



Grant, on the other hand, wants to change his look from peaceful compliant child at 8 months:

To slightly disinterested child at 20 months.



"Pumpkins?!!!!?"



"Pumpkins?"



To the happy elephant.

A Festivus for the Rest of Us

Well, September is over, stop yer cryin'.

We had fun, despite the rain and all. We made it to quite a few festivals and events, trying to keep our kid happy.



We went to Addison, where he forgot "the good sense to stand in the shade."



We went to McKinney, where we kept an eye out for him.



He nearly got away. Whew!



We went Macedonian.



We went to Richardson. Wait, we liver there!



And to Sharkarosa?! Anybody?



Can't get enough of this.
