Disneyland

We snuck in a couple days after Halloween before all the decorations were gone.

“Candy Corn Acres" is my favorite part!

 

 

 IMG_4667                                                    Look at Adam’s face.  He is super excited to ride the Mark Twain Riverboat instead of Big Thunder Mountain for the 20th time!

The big highlight of the trip was Adam finally being tall enough to ride Screamin’

The upside down loop!  He loved it of course!

Katie dressed up as a Sea World Trainer for school and the Halloween Dance.

The entire elementary school did the Monster Mash.  It was so cute!

Ethan was Malfoy from Harry Potter.  Adam was Jango Fett from Star Wars.  Katie decided it was too cold, so she wore her PJ’s and robe and was a ‘bed head.’

The loot!

The only candy Adam cared about was his 18 Hershey Bars!

Adam turns 7!

 IMG_4710

Funny things Adam says and does…

“Get that baby away from me”

“C’mon Mom, this swing isn’t gonna push itself!”

“Who are you and what did you do with my mom and dad?”

“Can I have _______?  How about now?  How about now?”

Mom says, “Adam you’re 7 today!”  Adam says, “yeah, you’re 80!”

Peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

All 6 episodes of Star Wars playing constantly in his head.

Snow Dog (Before and after 7 years of love)

Rocker at heart

He is our fuzzy

Pinewood Derby

The competition is intense, he researches what design will be the fastest, he stays up late working on it, he just wants his car to be faster than his friend’s —and that is just the dad!  Yes, it was the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.

We started off great, Ethan’s is on the far right…

IMG_4602    

His car was really fast…

Two hours later, everyone was tired…

IMG_4609

But it was worth it!

First place in the Bear Den and second place overall!

Fall Festival

The elementary school had their fall festival last week.  Ethan sang with the choir…

IMG_4597 

Adam was super excited about the cupcake walk—to the tune of four cupcakes…

IMG_4585

Katie thought she was too old to go—until she heard that they were giving away goldfish as prizes…

IMG_4586

Twenty dollars worth of game tickets later we had 2 goldfish.  We had to stop at the store on the way home to buy a fish for the third unlucky child that kept winning candy, where we bought a fish for 28 cents!!!

IMG_4601

In honor of Halloween we have Jack, Sally, and Zero.  At least these new members of our family are quiet!

Photo tag…

Okay, I’ve been tagged.  Open your first photo folder and choose the tenth picture.  Post the picture and tell the story!

This was a canal tour in Bruges, Belgium.  It was such a fun day.  We ate pommes frites in the square, sampled Belgian chocolates on every corner, and ate the most amazing Belgian waffles.  I want to go back!

I tag Susan and Tracee.
