Time flies

Well November has come and gone... things always seem to get a little crazier at the end of the year. Tack on all our added homeschooling responsibilities and things get REALLY crazy!
Anyway, let me back track to where the last blog left off.
We had a good Halloween. The girls dressed as butterflies and Tim was a ninja. We had a party with our school group... games and lots of candy. We were going to go out to a fall festival that weekend, but Erika turned up with a fever, so we ended up just staying in and watching movies.

Well the weather has been so nice here, we have been outdoors A LOT in the last month. In fact here it is mid December and the predicted high today is 78 degrees. Anyway, here are some shots from hiking and the zoo.

We also had a good Thanksgiving. It was pretty low key. We had a school party and the kids got to be Indians and pilgrims. LOL you can guess which one most of the kids picked to be. :)
Then we spent some time with family. It was nice.
Now we are into December and looking forward all the lights and decorations and celebrating Jesus' birth. We did decorate the house this past weekend, I just have not had time to upload the photos yet. Plus with our school group we are going on a double Decker London type bus to look at Christmas lights on Thurs. I know I am getting excited for that. Anyway, Christmas always makes for some good photos... so I should have more to post soon. Thanks for checking in, and Merry Christmas.

Pics

Ok not to much dialogue on this one just the pics. LOL. Some are from the park and the rest are Halloween. Hope you like them!

Happy Halloween (part 2)

Happy Halloween!
UPDATED: For more pictures from the fall festival we attended check out my "other" blog site. Thanks!

Here is how I spent my Halloween this year: Being scared by a cat... Taunted by a princess fairy... and shot at by a cowboy...
Hope you all had a good one too!!

Happy Halloween

Well this has been one interesting week at our house. Erika came home, and our little family is now complete. It is amazing how quickly one forgets how much work a newborn is. Both Tim and Lex are pretty independent now, so I am getting used to being on call 24/7 again. LOL! But it's all worth it. Ericka is a good baby, very easy going so far. (Talk to me in a few weeks once she is fully settled in and we'll see if that sentiment still holds... heh)
Anyway being that today is Halloween we took Tim and Lex to a local fall festival, so they could get all dressed up. (Really we all know the ONLY reason to get dressed up is for the candy.) They both looked so cute in their costumes. Even Erika, who stayed at home to keep daddy company got to get dressed up on her very first Halloween.
I hope you all had a great day and did not overindulge to much in the candy bowl. Enjoy the photos and thanks for stopping by!
