An Evening With The Governor

...and a million other people.

Okay, maybe not a million, but it is a small back yard that the Governor of Virginia has--at least when you cram many political types and their kids in there.

Our kids enjoyed another annual Fall Festival at the Executive Mansion tonight. They painted pumpkins and got to show off their costumes for the first time.

You probably already know that Thomas was dead-set on being a tow truck driver like his Uncle Brian.  I didn't fight this (not that I could), and I was thrilled to make an "easy" costume.  Gracie wanted to be a mermaid and she loved the costume mommy finished for her. (although I think it needs some tweaking before Halloween night)

We didn't stay to long, we got to chat with Governor McDonnell and the kids got candy and lemonade.  They had a good time and were doted on plenty.

 So here's a sneak peek at their costumes, and a picture of our family with the man of the hour.
