Craig! Craig! Craig!

Now that my two 12 year olds do not want me near them, I will be taking my dogs out trick -or - treating this year! Still working on their costumes though, stay tuned!

Wouldn't be easier just to photo shop my family photo with some of your head shots instead of me mailing some walled sized ones your way? You are the master of photo shop after all!
