Family Fun

We had some family fun on Sunday evening.  First, we had a planking contest.  Alex won with 10 minutes!  (He did change between different types of planks, though.)

They decided that bottoms off the floor was a type of plank.  Ha ha!

This kid has good form!

Daddy did 'modified' planks from the couch.  ;)

Later, we played hide and seek, but with a family twist.  (This is how we always play it.)  Jim rolls the finder up in a blanket as tight as possible, then we all run and hide while they try to get untangled.  Big kids have to count to 20 before attempting to escape.  Fun times.

Finally, we played 'Are You There Moriarty?'.  The object of the game is to hit the other person on the head.

Halloween

Logan and Alex were identity thieves this year.

We invited a few families over to trick or treat with us and then to visit and snack afterward.  Brig was in junk food heaven.

I forgot to take pictures until two of the families left, but it was a really fun night.

End of October

Slowly, but surely I'm still making progress on our house.  Last week, I decorated Brig's room.

AFTER

We expect to be finished with the baby/ jungle theme within a couple of years, so I didn't want to spend a bunch of money, but I did want to do something cute.  My solution was to print and frame clipart that would coordinate with his bedding.

Alex loves being outside so much.  It's fun to watch him play, explore, and talk to himself.

Laurel was so proud of this mess!!  We used a snow shovel to clean it up.  Ha ha!
