Flag Football Champions!

Kason's flag football team won their championship game Tuesday night!  They had such a great season and it was so fun watching them play!  Here's a pic of the team after their big win.

Kason had a big cheering section at the game.  Our friends, the Rackleys, all made it to the game.  Kason made a great catch for the PAT after a touchdown.  He played so well all year.  Kason's teacher, Mrs. Newman also came to watch the boys play.  Here's a pic of Kason, his friend Ben and Mrs. Newman.

 Here are some pics of the fam after the game.  Kason got this really cool trophy that he is so proud of!  Another trophy to add to his shelf!  :)

 My sweet boy.  Way to go Bobcats!!

Halloween 2012

I know, I know...It has been FOREVER since I have blogged!  And I don't even have an "I've been busy" excuse.  Just haven't gotten my blog butt in gear.  But I HAVE to post a Halloween blog.  I have blogged about Halloween since I have started this thing so I can't stop now!  (BTW, if you haven't looked at my Halloween blogs from previous years recently, you really should do that.  It is so fun to look back at how the kids have grown!  If I could figure out how to include a link to the old blogs in this one I would, but I'm not that technical I guess).

Before we get to Halloween night, I have to share some pics of Katie when we carved the pumpkin.  I couldn't get Kason interested in it this year, so it was just KB and I.  (Really?!?  He's only in 4th grade - is he already "too cool" to do fun stuff like carve a pumpkin?!?!)

Here is the before pic:

And here's the after pic.  Look at these 2 silly faces!!  :)

The Saturday before Halloween we were invited to a family Halloween party at one of our friends' house.  Here's a pic of the kids dressed up at the party.

Later that same night, I went to an adults only Halloween party.  GD had to work so he couldn't go.  But I had a great time hanging with friends.  If anyone watches the TV show Sons of Anarchy, then you will know the pic below is Tara, Gemma and Clay.  I'm sure most people don't know that show.  If that's the case, I'm a nurse with a dark wig.  :)

Here's the kids all ready for school Halloween day.  They were so excited!  Kason is Thor and KB is Minnie Mouse.  When I told Kason to do something while he was wearing his costume he said, "Mom, Thor is like 30.  He doesn't have to listen to his Mom".  Its a good thing he had a smile on his face when he said that or I would have had to bend Thor over my knee!!  :)

Here's a pic of Katie with her teacher, Mrs. Pease.  They had a fun Halloween parade and party at school.

The below pics are from Halloween night.  Halloween wouldn't be Halloween without our good friends the Brackeens!  If you have looked back at old Halloween blogs, you will know that we always go trick-or-treating with the Brackeens. It is total chaos but so fun!  We eat chili and hot dogs then head out for TONS of candy!  Here is a pic of the kids before the T-o-Ting began:

Here's Susanne and GD with his crazy hair hat!

Susanne teases me about the annual "butt pic" that I always take.  This year is no exception.

Adelie and Katie had so much fun trick or treating!

Mom stayed at our house to hand out candy.  Katie looks excited to be done with trick or treating, doesn't she?!  :)

The last pic of the night - kids are in a candy stupor!!!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
