No Tricks Just Treats

Getting ready for All Hallows Eve.

Bowl one of three ready for the trick-or-treaters.

Dressed up and ready to open Halloween cards from Nana & Granddad.

Ready for some fun!

We ALWAYS start our Halloween night out at Publix. They do such a great job of treating the kids to fun and candy. Jack started off with a little put-put -- his favorite.

Who wants to fish for some candy???

And Daddy is more than happy to help out with a cast or two!

Here we found Ethan's game! He got both bean bags in the hole, then took his candy from the bucket and managed to get that in the hole too! Guess we'll be getting a bean bag toss for the backyard now.

Ethan's superpower is to make a hole in one in a single leap!

We are fortunate to have such great friends in the neighborhood. We always get together for a dinner of mummy dogs before heading out to trick or treat together. What a good looking group. I love how our pirate friend can't take his eyes of Ethan!

Let the fun begin! The boys all had a good time and Ethan actually ran into a friend at one house - his physical therapist from school. He seemed quite proud to know someone when the rest of us were all saying to each other, who is this and how does she know Ethan?

Wyatt had a lot of fun too - until it got too late, then all the scary costumes started to show up and he kept plugging his ears and saying, "scared, scared."

Jack's loot...

...all sorted out. This brings back so many memories of my own Halloween's as a child, as I did the exact thing.

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was

The Olympics

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted a message. I guess it's been due to a combination of being really busy and not having much to say! Is that a contradiction? We've been letting Jack stay up late since Friday so that he could enjoy the Olympics. He really enjoyed the opening ceremony and has been in awe of the gymnastics. We went to a BBQ on Sunday night and just as we were getting ready to leave they put the ladies gymnastics on and all the kids say and watched. We had to drag Jack away. In other news, we're getting ready to do a really crazy thing. After only two months of having no debt and house payment, we're putting in an offer on a new home! We really had no plans to do this, but when we went to visit our friends on Sunday, we decided to drive around and look at the houses there. We had looked in there back before Ethan was born and fell in love with the place so we thought we'd just take a look and see how much i

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back.
