Deep thoughts

I wonder how much longer until we can go swimming again? 

Tommy party!

Tommy turned 7 this week, which is just crazy to think about. I still remember when Aunt Beth and Uncle Tom brought him home for the first time...

Sloth fun

We had a great after Thanksgiving feast at Grandmom and Pop Shane's house on Saturday, and Bob and Nicole were there to help add to the fun. Nicole made a little clay sloth man with me which was ... interesting. But she's almost as big a Wonder Woman expert as me, so she's still cool. 

Emma concert

There are no words to describe this. 

Steady as she goes

I don't really understand this game. The point is to carefully remove pieces so the tower doesn't fall over, but knocking the whole thing down is the most fun part. Weird.

On the trail with grandparents

No, that's not a path up in the Poconos. That's all of us walking though a nature preserve just 20 minutes away from the house. Pop got tired a few times but Emma carried him whenever he needed a rest.

Soccer star

Jonathan's not the only one with crazy kicking skills. And I have a certificate to prove it!

Crazy leaf dance

I have no explanation. 

Campfire #1

Yeah, it was waaaaay too cold to sleep outside this weekend. But Jonathan and the scouts had a great time Saturday on a nature hike and then cooking dinner on a campfire before heading home to warm beds. Very, very warm beds. 

Magic tent trick

And after:

We tested out our new tent this weekend just to make sure we know how everything sets up. We probably won't be able to use it this fall -- it's way to cold already -- but we want to be ready for a cub scout camping trip this spring. 

Two crazy girls

Sure, we could have stepped out from under the counter for a picture, but where is the fun in that?

Costume parade and trunk or treating

Getting picture of trick or treating at night doesn't usually work, but luckily that's not the only fun we had on Halloween this year. 

I had my Halloween parade at school early in the day. My teach was also a super hero, but I don't know if she was from the DC or Marvel Universe. 

After that it was time for trunk or treat at Emma's school. Guess who was first in line for candy? 

 

 Well, I guess Wonder Woman does need some extra energy to fight crime.

There were a ton of kids at Emma's school, but luckily Grandmom Doyle and I had enough to give something out to everyone but the babies. And, frankly, they don't really need the sugar. They'll have plenty of Halloween fun once they get teeth.
