Francie the Pig with her 4H Farmers at her first Halloween Party in our front yard last night...

In the morning, Francie went with me to work for the first "real day" while I paid some bills, sent some invoices and checked in with the girls. Everything was under control so we went to Target for more Halloween candy and headed home around 2pm for party planning!

She was such a good girl while we were decorating and getting ready, she played in her crib for an hour and a half just looking at the animals on her bumpers and her mobile.

Silly Dad came home early from work to help... I found Francie like this in the office :) The Blackberry is not an age appropriate toy I guess

The boys at the grill (as we said in our last minute email invites, we decided to "Go Big or Go Home" for the party and brought out John Simo's tow behind BBQ for some Lucy the Pig bratwurst

Grannie Jannie helping out (she was in SF all day to see the play "The Color Purple" with friends) and was surprised to see we pulled off party planning without her. She still managed to throw together two huge pots of yummy soups that we served from the BBQ and were gone quickly!
