Season's first snow

And probably the only one. It doesn't snow around here very often anymore... I stayed home and played with the kids and it was a blast! We all had a fun time making a snowman, throwing snowballs and a little sledding down the hill in the backyard. It wasn't very cold out, I even had to take off a layer, but we might get more snow tonight!!! hoping hoping hoping...

SNOW!!!

Halloween and other misc pictures

Lots has happened since school started, but we have not posted new pictures for a while... But I know people will want to see halloween pictures, so there are some going all the way back to early September. The boys had fun trick or treating, Scott was a trooper and could have gone forever, but Ryan wanted to come home because his bucket was getting heavy. Scott wanted to go to "just two more houses", about 8 houses later he wanted "just two more houses". We have some pumpkin carving pictures with Uncle Dan and Aunt Beverly, some with Ian and a couple really good ones of Ryan helping me mix coookie batter. Enjoy.
