Ryan is 12!!!

Ryan had a party with some friends at Boondocks.
What a handsome guy!

Ryan turned 12 years old on November 6. I can't believe it! His voice is deeper and it seems like he has grown a foot in the past couple of months. This from the baby that was 6 lb. 7 oz. at birth (smallest of the Murdock babies). Time needs to slow down just a bit.
Ryan is a super smart and funny kid. His secret talent is that he is an origami genius. He's also pretty nice when the testosterone is at a low ebb.

Halloween!

So I really am one of the bad moms. I forgot to take a picture of Sam when she dressed up for Halloween at school. She was really cute. She was a doctor and wore my pink scrubs. She accessorized with my stethoscope, some tongue depressors, and a mask. Perfect for swine flu! She also put pink stripes in her hair. Sorry Sam!

I did get the boys' pictures taken. Ryan was a mad (Connor liked us to say crazy) scientist, Ethan was a zombie, and Connor was Lightning McQueen. They had a good time and scored a lot of candy. Ethan came down with the swine flu the next day. He definitely picked up a trick instead of a treat!
