More Halloween Pics

Two Peas-In-Pods.

Yes we did this on purpose... we are such dorks :)

Sorry for the long delay, but illnesses, deer season, and Joel's cd upload have pretty much kept me from the computer. I had no idea we had as many cds as we have until Joel spent a couple of weeks on the computer.

ANYWAY, Halloween was super fun. It was actually 3 days long. On Wednesday, we went to a party at the children's museum. Jam played with Sammy D, Nolan, and Andy. Grandma Dusty and Poppa Pete were also there. On Wednesday and Thursday Joel worked on carving our jack-o-lantern family. I think he did a wonderful job.

On Thursday James did Halloween at school and opened a Halloween package from Auntie Emma D. He spent a good portion of the afternoon covering Addie and himself in Halloween stickers.

On Friday we brought the kids to Dehlin's house for trick-or-treating. Addie was one of two peas in pods with Eli. Jam had a blast trick-or-treating with Charlie, Olie, Sam, Addie, and Eli. Kristy and I got to eat Addie and Eli's share. They of course got a little taste a few hours later :)

Addie Finds a Toy

I put Addison on her mat while I was watching the Canton, Ohio rally for Obama on CNN and she started intentionally batting at a toy. This is the first time she's done this on purpose. She played with and talked to the toy for like five minutes before getting tired out. They grow up so fast!

Addison's First Snow Experience

As soon as James heard Addie making noise over the monitor he yelled, "I get to teach Addie about snow!" So we got her up, fed, and dressed (during which Jam snuck out of the house in his pajama's) and ready for her 1st snow experience.

Addie really liked her snowsuite. She thought it was very fun to wiggle around in it on the floor.

Addison was not nearly as happy with the cold wind. She and I lasted about 3 minutes outside before she decided it was time to go in. Just enough time for Jam to show her the snow and snap a couple of photos.

James thinks its fun to catch snowflakes on his tongue!

October in the UP!

We woke up to what James considers the most exciting sight since the birth of his sister...SNOW! He has been having a lot of trouble containing his enthusiasm. When I went upstairs to change Addison he put on his snow boots and snuck out the back door. Besides not telling me where he was going, he was still in his pajamas!

Jam has spent much of the AM chanting, "It's winter, YEAH!" He's such a Yooper!

Huntin' At Camp

This weekend we finally got back out to camp. The weather was very chilly, but fortunately Addie has decided that wind is not as evil as she had once suspected.

On Saturday, we helped build Grammy's post and then Joel and James and Grampy did some hunting with Indie. Joel got his first grouse over her. Much to our surprise Jam enjoyed carrying around the bird. For those who don't know, one of James' many fears is birds. Apparently he is only afraid of LIVE birds.

On Saturday night James had his first sleep-over at Gram and Gramps. I was sad to leave without him, but he had a really good time. So good a time, in fact, he wanted to stay again tonight! I think Grammy and Gramps probably need a little time to rest and recover.

On Sunday we went back out to pick up Jam. Addie, James, and I didn't hunt today because it was about 40 degrees and raining. We did play Candy Land and watch football. Addie took a three hour nap! Apparently she takes after her mommy and likes to go to camp to sleep :)
