Polling

We need some help.

We are trying to decide on a name and just can't. I've set up a poll so you can vote for your favourite out of three. Not saying that we will choose any of them for sure, but we'll keep it in mind. ;) Thanks in advance for your help!!

Go HERE to vote.

If you've done it before please let me in on the trick!)

Treats please

Maggie was pretty excited about dressing up like "Lamby" and getting treats in her pink pumpkin (that she picked out). We talked about trick or treating for a couple of days and I even tried to play it out with her so it wouldn't be so foreign when it all went down. I stayed home and doled out the candy to the 80+ kids that came by our place (I was prepared for 140... we do live in mormonville) and Peter got the privilege of seeing the magic play out for Maggie! Apparently after a few houses she warmed up to the idea and they didn't come home for 2 hours!!!!

Here is our adorable "Lamby" being cute for the camera...

Pretty excited about "treating" with Daddy! "MAMA! Look!"

"TREATS!!!!!"

They actually dumped the loot (full pumpkin of treats) and headed back out for more... and ended up seeing SNOW WHITE!!!

Canadian Thanksgiving

At the beginning of October Maggie and I headed east to spend Canadian Thanksgiving

with my family while Pete presented his research in San Diego! We had a wonderful time celebrating birthdays and eating turkey and being with family.

This is a picture from Canadian Thanksgiving in Iowa October 2008:
