Connor's Muddy Birthday Party...

Connor's birthday party was about 2 weeks ago but I thought I would share the memories we will surely never forget! While all of the adults were inside watching the Buckeyes, the five remaining boys were in the backyard 'playing'. We soon found out that 'playing' meant getting a shovel from the garage, digging about a 2-3 foot hole, turning the hose on and filling it with water. They had all stripped down to their shorts and even decided to get a bike from the garage and ride it down the hill to 'ramp' the hole. Luckily no one got hurt!
After the Mom's stopped laughing, we sprayed everyone off and made sure they 'played' inside the rest of the evening! When Connor went to bed that night I asked him if he had a great birthday and after all the presents, games and cake I stayed up all night making he said "Mom I didn't mean to tear up the yard but that was the best birthday party ever!

(notice they chose the spot RIGHT in between the septic tanks!

Trick or Treat

Today was trick or treat in Logan and the kids got SO much Candy. Here are some pictures of Ali (the Bunny) and Connor ( the bad spiderman - venom)

at home eating candy......

The kids even got to use the knife when carving the pumpkins - Connor did not like the feeling on his hands so Dad did most of it.

Isn''t this the cutest bunny you have ever seen? This will probably be the last year of the cute girlie costumes for Ali. I had to talk her out of costumes like the 'Punk Rocker Bat' with fish net hose and the 'Gangsta Girl' with the pimp hate - can you believe they were in the kids section at the costume store! I am sure you can tell by this picture that Mom tried to make her look as young as possible - hey, I am allowed to do that!!!!
