Walk Now for Autism 2007

It was a great (if too hot) day. I still choke up a bit when I think about the effort that my friends and family made to join us on November 4th for the Walk Now for Autism. I LOVE YOU ALL! Team Twin Simpson raised almost $4,500 for the event. Whoo hoo! The day started off a big rough for me. We planned a family reunion around the walk, and there was a lot of celebration the night before. I know I was not the only one suffering the consequences on Sunday morning. Even though we were late for the start of the walk, we had a good time walking at the back of the pack of over 7,000.

My Cute Boys

I just wanted to post a couple of cute shots of the boys.

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween. Kip carved a pumpkin (well, he drew the face, I wielded the knife, and he cleaned out the innards). He wasn't thrilled about the messy middle as you can see from the photo. Quinn went to school dressed as a policeman. The public schools here don't allow Halloween costumes per se but "community helper" costumes were encouraged at his school. We had a fun night trick or treating. I'm kicking myself for not getting more photos-especially of my mom being introduced to jello shots! I think she broke all the rules and went back for seconds. Reid and Quinn totally "got" trick or treating. They didn't need any prompting to say or do the right thing. At one point, Quinn put his treat bag down and started applauding other people. Quirky, but cute!
