Happy Halloween

 

These two muggles are ready for school!

Here's a picture from Parker's class

Tonight, we got together with our cousins for some fun trick-or-treating!

Cub Scout Day

Parker's den spent the day at the boy scout camp.  They got quite a bit of time to play Gaga ball.  Parker was a natural at it!

Parker played a little soccer with his friends.

They even got some some scout requirements done.  Here is Parker's group practicing a skit.

The boys found this tiny frog.

Of course, there favorite part of the whole day was when we fed them!

Walker Johnston Park

The weather was perfect tonight to hit a park after dinner!

  

The boys loved the dried leaves

This park has a story written around a pond if you stop and read each one.  The boys really enjoyed taking turns reading in their "scary" voices for this Halloween book.

School

 

A couple of pictures from Parker's teacher.  His class was in the top 3 for raising money for PTO and earned an ice cream party!

Team Playday

 

 

Daddy learned about a charity event to help the Children's Miracle Network, just by playing a full day of games.  That seemed right up our alley, and the day is finally here for us to participate in Extra Life!  We invited lots of friends to come play games at our house.

 

 

We even played the Oregon Trail...2 of us died of Dysentary and 2 of us died from a snake bite!

However, Daddy seems to be pretty pleased that at least he made it all of the way to Oregon, even if his family didn't!

In case you are wondering, here is the list of games that we played.  we started around 9AM and made it past midnight!  Thanks to every one who joined us or donated to us.  We had so much fun and raised some money for charity.  Certainly it was a win-win day!

Library Fun

 

 

The Quandt's were at the library with us after school today.  We had a ton of fun playing around...who says that libraries are quiet places?

Swimming Birthday Party

This year for Aiden's birthday, we decided to rent the pool out and invite lots of families to come swimming with us!  It was so much fun and everyone wants to do it again!

 

  

 

Afterwards, we headed home and let Aiden open his presents.

This year he had an ice cream cake, yum!

Carving Pumpkins

Papa and GG are here to help us carve our pumpkins!

GG let us spray paint our pumpkins different colors.
