halloween backtrack

well... thanksgiving is in two days, so i guess now would be a good time to post some pictures from halloween.  they are incredibly overdue, but technically it is still fall, so this counts.  we did all the halloween things you would expect - carved pumpkins and hosted our annual halloweenie ice SCREAM bash, although we did not make it to a pumpkin patch this year and i am still pretty torn up about that.


all in all - it was a great halloween, another warm one and alex was a huge help in the construction of her costume.  she usually decides what she wants to be somewhere around august/september, but true to form we didn't really get to work on her costume until the night before the all school halloween party and costume contest.  luckily i have become a skilled glue gunner and pulling something together in a relatively short time frame is getting easier every year.


this year she was a frost dragon.  oh... you mean you've never heard of a dragon that breathes ice instead of fire????  well now you have.  
  

she's had some pretty unique ideas in years past, but i gotta say, this year was probably my favorite.  how was your halloween?  i'm not sure if i'll take any thanksgiving photos, but if i do, i'll be sure to post them by christmas!

streetcar

today, i got to get all up in the new kansas city streetcar's grill.  i'm not gonna lie, it was pretty awesome.  check out a few pics of the first (new) streetcar lines being laid today. the first tracks since 1947.  i love this city and i can't wait until this line is right outside our front door.



happy birthday to the ground.
