happy halloween 2008!

we love candy! we had the best week and the boys love celebrating halloween. we hit lots of parties and have tons of candy. mak was a ninja, ryder was spiderman and sammy was a dalmation (which without the hat was easily confused for a cow). we went trick or treating at denise's house with aidan and liam. the boys have declared this a very delicious holiday.

chapman swifts

once a year, a flock of thousands of vaux swifts come to visit chapman elementary school, swirling and flying into the chimney of the school nightly for a couple of weeks. thousands of onlookers picnic and watch the swifts as they fly about. the johnson five joined the fun and did some grass sledding.
