Santa's helpers

Last night while the snow was falling, we decorated our Christmas tree. Our approach this year was much different than in years past. Only one strand of lights made it safely onto the tree and about half of the ornaments. Jack and Will really enjoyed handing/throwing us the ornaments.

Thanksgiving 2009

This year Rob and Katie hosted Thanksgiving at their home in Crystal. Jack and Will climbed the stairs countless times hoping for a glimpse of a kitty.

Sock Hands

Around 7:00 or so, the boys like to take their socks off for the evening. We thought it would be funny to put the socks on their hands. Now they request it.

Halloween

Waiting for the Trick or Treaters. They liked watching for the kids, but got scared when they came to the door.

Pumpkin Patch Kids

We're starting them early with their chores.Waiting for dad to come home.

Our new favorite spot, the couch.Today we went to the Buffalo Pumpkin Patch. We took a hayride out to the patch and picked our pumpkins.

Fall fun

It is no secret that little boys like to run around with their shirts off. Every evening around 7, the boys start tugging at their shirts. This evening Jack was pulling Will in the wagon. Last week it rained for several days. The boys enjoyed wearing their rain jackets.
