Battle wounds

Nursery can be brutal.  Josh was on the receiving end of it this week and came home with a nasty human bite mark.  Poor kid.  :(

Gingerbread

McKinley, Hayden and I attended a community class on gingerbread house decorating tonight.  Hayden wants to make a Minecraft house.  McKinley wants to make the UP house.  They are hoping to enter them in a gingerbread house competition next week.  We'll see if they get done in time!

Christmas tree time

I can't believe it is already Christmas tree time.  Kent got home early on Friday and has even already put up our house lights!

Today we made our annual trek to hunt for Christmas trees.  The weather was perfect and there was only traces of snow in the mountains.



This was right before we left the mountains, and Josh would NOT be in the picture.

Lots of lady deer in the meadows.

We need to visit when these Aspens are golden in the fall.  I still love them in the winter though.  

Playing with the 'phone' (walkie talkie).

The only one who will let me take pictures.

Reflections

We received notification while we were off track that McKinley got an 'honorable mention' for her Reflections entry in photography this year. 
So we all went to the school for the assembly and picked up our participation treats. 
Included was a certificate for Menchies, so we celebrated there with some fro-yo.

Happy Halloween!

From the Ninja....

the Grim Reaper....

the Nerd...

and the little Dinosaur...

...who doesn't want to wear his tail, and doesn't want his picture taken, thank you very much.

New toy

McKinley saved up her money....for a while now.  She finally earned enough to get the little mod razor scooter she wanted.  It arrived yesterday and was charged and ready to go this morning.  She had fun trying it out and taking Josh for rides.

Aquarium

Kent has the week off.  Today we had lunch at Los Hermanos and then visited the aquarium.  We even sat through the movie this time since there were two adults to wrangle the tiny one.
