I am primarily on Facebook these days since it takes far less time to post and I am staying connected with many old friends that way. Join if you haven't already!

Fun in the Snow

We spent the morning playing in the snow. After 12" of snow last week there was more falling today. The boys loved their first trip to a "hill" to sled.

When we returned home we shoveled the driveway and then made a giant snowman. He started off around 7 feet tall, but was quickly melting with the temperatures above freezing.

Doesn't look like there will be any bike commuting in the near future.

Halloween Fun

We had a full week of Halloween fun. The boys love to go checking out and trying on masks and wigs at all of the Halloween stores. We had a large Spirit shop close to us this year, in addition to Party City, which is always full of fun accessories.

I guess the boys are just the right age because we ended up with 6 nights of parties and trick-or-treating this year. I think the fact Halloween was on Saturday helped to extend it all. Also, nothing conflicted with anything else so we were able to hit every party in town. By Saturday night we were actually ready to just lay low and take it easy. I watch the K-State game and handed out candy while Sharla took the boys around the neighborhood for awhile.

Below are a few pictures from my work party. We had a lot of participation this year. My team decorated our room as the demented circus. Other rooms were The Nightmare Before Christmas, Studio 54, Bug World and Where the Wild Things Are.

Brady's Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Last Thursday Brady's kindergarten class went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. They had a cold, wet day but seemed to enjoy getting out of the classroom anyway. Brady was proud to find a big white pumpkin that he plans to turn into a ghost.

Colbert Hills

Yesterday we drove to Manhattan, KS for "All You Can Golf Day" at Colbert Hills. The weather was great and we managed to squeeze in 43 holes after our 2 hour drive. Good times.
