Snowmen

We had so much fun making snowmen after school yesterday. There is nothing better than wet, sticky snow!!

Snow!!!

Finally we've gotten some snow. The kids have loved playing in it, eating it and sledding.

Martin Luther King Day

We had a fun day off of school and stayed warm at the pool, despite it being a very chilly 10 degrees. Camden had no fear of the water and went down the slides all by himself.
Parker reminded me when we got home that we hadn't celebrated Martin Luther King. We read about him after dinner and celebrated him with a frosted brownie cake. We talked about how our family is possible because of his dedication to Civil rights.

Trick or Treat

The kids had a great time trick or treating, Dad took the first half and Mom the second. Camden napped the whole time we were gone and missed out on dressing up this year. Oh well, plenty more years to come and he was festively dressed in a Halloween shirt all day.
Parker and Iris' friend Nora from school who lives one block away came and went trick or treating with us.

Gabe's Preschool Halloween Party

As cute as cute can be a bunch of 3 year olds doing a costume parade and singing Halloween songs.

Haunted House Decorating and Pumpkin Carving

We had a fun weekend getting ready for Halloween, on Saturday we decorated our Haunted House and on Sunday we carved our pumpkins. We are definitely ready for Trick or Treating...more pictures to come!

Go Bananas

I bought a Groupon for Go Bananas, an indoor arcade with rides, and they have gone bananas for the roller coaster which I think they have ridden more than 25 times. They've also had fun playing the games, winning tickets, riding a couple other rides and eating pizza and cotton candy.
We had a great weekend with Dad too. On Saturday we went to a fundraiser for our friend Tommy, who has leukemia. Sunday was fun too with a family hike at Graue Mill.
Lots of playing on the long weekend off of school!
