Happy Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving, we have had a lot of fun....The kids and I are in Springfield, CO at our friends, Paul & Lori's house.  It snowed!  It has been so beautiful!  The boys played basketball, Wii, watched a movie, and played checkers.  The girls read books, watched a movie, played Wii had a tea party and went out in the snow.....Lori & I have cooked an watched the kids.  What a fun day.  Ted couldn't get off work, so he was at home.....that was sad.  But, we have had fun.....

We hope all have had a wonderful day and taken a moment to be thankful...

Hi there,

Tonight was Ethan's first basketball team practice.  It was very fun, his coach is very nice.  His name is Coach Albee.  His friend Gabe is also playing on the team.....

Fall leaves!

Today Ted & the kids raked up the leaves and then vacuumed them up, they each got a turn using the vacuum.....They were filthy by the end, it's off to the shower for them, but they had a blast......

First snow / November 2008

Fiona checking out the snow

It finally snowed here!  It was so fun.  I wish there would have been time for the kids to have played, but there wasn't......

Halloween fun

Well, our Carnival is over.....It was awesome!  this year we held our carnival at Swansea Elementary and provided a fun carnival for free to the neighborhood....I think about 400+ people attended.  We had games, cotton candy, popcorn, candy tubes and large jumpers!  It was a blast.  

Ethan dressed up as a Storm trooper (from Star Wars) and Emily was "Major Cutie"

They went out with their cousins to trick or treat for a while and then headed to the carnival.....

So, the mom is exhausted, but it was worth it!
