Trip to the police station

Ethan's cub scout den had a trip to the police station this evening.  Everyone had lots of fun.

Decorating the tree

We had a fun time this weekend decorating the Christmas tree.  Ethan had the most fun helping me take the ornaments out of their boxes.

Fun Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving at Grandma and Papa's house.  We watched movies, Brandon got to practice his chess, play a multi-hour game of Monopoly with Daddy and it was nice enough to play lightsabers outside.

Add some very yummy turkey, dressing and sweet potatoes along with chocolate dream pie and it was a great Thanksgiving!

New pictures

We took a walk down to the lake after school today so I could try and get some new pictures.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Wordless Wednesday

Biker Dudes for Jesus

Brandon dressed up as a biker dude in his Harley stuff for Halloween at Grandma and Papa's house. They went to a few neighbors houses but I think he had more fun passing out candy to all the trick or treaters.

I hope these scary biker dudes are on my side if I meet them in a dark alley.

But then how scary can you be when this is your trick or treat bag.

Sometimes your kids do things that just make your heart smile.

You want me to touch what?

Okay, not so bad, I can pull out this stuff.

Cutting out the eyes.

Popcorn break. You're doing a great job dad.

Which face is the real kid and which two are the Jack O'Lanterns.

Shoes

For part of their homework in October ,the 1st graders had to learn to tie their shoes. This is something we haven't worked on since Ethan's shoes that fit over his braces are all Velcro. He was so excited to show off what he learned.

Yeah Ethan!
