This Halloween was one of the best ever! For weeks before, we all had been preparing, getting the house decorated, buying costumes and candy. Robert would be home to trick or treat with us, so the kids were excited....but then Robert got called down to the fires in San Diego. The kids were afraid dad wouldn't be home for Halloween and I was just afraid. The first few days we didn't get to talk much and I really didn't know where he was. The kids and I did alot of praying for him, the firefighters, and the families affected by the fires. I was glued to the TV, in hopes of seeing his engine to make sure he was alright. But in true Robert style, he would call and tell me, "Babe, I'm cheatin' death and saving lives!" Which means I'm okay and digging fire lines. As for the kids, they were hoping dad would be home for Trick or Treating, and of course,in Robert style, he came home late on the Eve of Halloween. So this is why this was the best Halloween ever!
Arianna was superman, Nathanael was a teenage mutant ninga turtle, and Gabe was a cowboy. We trick or treated late into the night until Nathanael said " Ok guys I'm done with this." When we got home he called his Grammy and she asked him, " Were your Donatello for Halloween?" Nathanael said, "no Grammy I'm Nathanael!" Then she said, " You weren't a teenage mutant ninga turtle?" and he said, "no Grammy, I'm a boy!" I thought I was going to pee my pants I was laughing so hard.
I hope everyone had a great Halloween!

It looks like I am a step ahead of what I am sure will be a cool Thanksgiving post. In anycase case, as I said before, it's GREAT that you've started this blog Mon!
Our Halloween was pretty good but just a bit different since the girls are older. In other words we hardly saw them because even though they got dressed up (Reena was Superman and Amanda was a Dr' Pepper promotion? - She ware Dr. Pepper pajama bottoms and a Dr. Pepper marroon t-shirt and her friends were other drinks dressed the same) they hooked up with friends and ran around in OTHER neighborhoods!?.
Anyway, Thanksgiving is not as big a deal here in this Romero home this year because we are quickly learning that everyday is thanks giving. We are still realing from a mission trip that we took a couple of weeks ago with our church down to Ensenada to help poor people down there and have come to realize that we have SO much,.... too much, and so we must remember to thank and praise God for everything that we have, had, will have and everything that is, was and is to come - good and or bad.
PEACE
