Great Wolf Lodge

Took the boys up to Washington to the Great Wolf Lodge as sort of a holiday celebration. Derek is working every holiday this year, and I have Christmas off. We aren't going to be spending the holidays together so this was our way of celebrating. Had a great time!

SOCCER!!!

Riley is now taking a soccer class. The class meets on Fridays for an hour. The kids are busy the entire hour running, kicking, jumping, and having fun. I am really amazed that the coach keeps the busy for that long. What amazes me more is that Riley goes the full hour and wants to keep going even after the class is over. The coach's name is Jimmy and Ri loves him! He talks about him all day after class. Riley is doing great in class and is getting better at following instructions each week. This session runs for 7 weeks and will be over in 2. I am going to keep him in the classes until he tells me he doesn't want to do it anymore. Kids can start classes at 18 months but that seems a bit young to me. Sorry Blake, you will have to wait a couple more years!

Halloween

Our finished pumpkins: a bat and spider web with spider.

Our little dinosaurs!

Apparently carving pumpkins is much better in the buff!
