Carving Pumpkins

Eric is our master carver. As we gutted them, Gus learned to yell, "YUCK!"

Gus kissed his Jack-O-Lantern a bunch of times!

Wacky Weather

We've had interesting weather lately -- snow and then sunny and 60!

After last week's snowstorms, we were glad we had mittens and coats for everyone. The kids LOVED the "free ice cream" in the front yard!

Then we had warm sunny days and all the neighbor kids were in the backyard. One day, it was a "battle" between the girls and boys and another day they were guinea pigs.

Barbie Bike Celebration

Eric loves bikes! So when each kid figures out how to ride, he promises them they will get a new bike. Check out Elise's Barbie Bike! It even has a little bike attached where her own Barbie can ride along! :)

Balloon Day

There was an amazing balloon guy at the local health fair. He made Elise a mermaid (check out her bikini top!) and Maddie a palm tree with coconuts and a monkey! When we got home, Eric made Gus some swords and he had a blast with the neighbor boys!

X-County Run

On Your Mark...

Get Set...

Go!

The high school cross country team had a meet at the golf course and invited the elementary schools to compete for "Faster Los Alamos School." Maddie really wanted to do well for her school. She was one of the last ones to cross the finish line, but she didn't know and had a blast!

It Doesn't Get Any Cuter!
