Happy Halloween! (10/31/11)

The kids decided to play "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" from Disney Junior with the sled in the front yard. Since the snowstorm was a bust, we had to do something with our new sled. Kati was Jake, Peter was Cubby and Luella was Izzy, the sled of course was Bucky.
After Peter left, we decided to carve our pumpkins. Luella wanted to save the seeds to roast.
The guts were so cold! Mommy called them GUTS! OH NO!
The girls decided what designs should go on their pumpkins and were very happy about them! Kyla didn't trust them with knives, so she did all the carving with their directions, and didn't take during pictures.
The monsters showed off their scary jack o' lanterns!
Kati wanted Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
The girls poked holes in this pumpkin and decorated it themselves! We love the Mr. Potato Head skeleton pumpkin!
Luella wanted a spooky cat.
This is Kati's pumpkin she painted at Fifer Orchard in Delaware while we were up visiting the Evers.
Kati learned that the pants she's wearing are called gaucho pants. The way she says "gaucho pants" is so cute!
We all got dressed to take the girls trick-or-treating. Kyla was dressed as a witch for the first time ever. Luella was Rapunzel but the hair extensions didn't fit over her head. Tim was James Bond. Kati was Minnie Mouse.
Kati started to get chilly after about 10 houses.
Stick 'em up! She got a toy water gun at one house and didn't let it go for the rest of the night.
Our regal princess posed in the moonlight for her trick-or-treating photo.
Luella wanted to pose with her jack o' lantern.
We had to take pictures of the lit jack o' lanterns.
Luella's scary cat looks great with a candle.
The girls had to show off their trick-or-treating bounty!

Our neighborhood likes to get into the spirit of the night. One guy acted like he was sleeping and jumped out at the girls making them scream! Another family turned their garage into Harry Potter's world. It was a fun night being scared.

Kyla decided to put up a sign asking for a babysitter. We had one 13-year-old girl reply and she's been great! Thanks to Uncle Phil and Aunt Becky for handing out our candy!

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
