Were you tucked in your nice, warm bed, still asleep? Getting ready for school? Making breakfast? Or maybe just getting kids up for the day? We, or I should say Tanner and Parker, were already dressed and outside playing in our first snowfall of the year. They couldn't wait.

Kaitlin Strikes Again!
If I'd have known the propensity which Kaitlin would have toward dressing her brothers like girls, I might have tried one more time to have another girl. Poor boys, they don't realize how many blackmail pictures we now have for their dating years! Parker is the most recent victim:

Kaitlin's First Recital
Kaitlin has been taking voice lessons since school started, and had her first recital. She was really nervous, but did a great job. She is now working on her Christmas songs for her Christmas recital in a few weeks. In addition to that, she was selected for the Middle School All State Honor Choir, which will take place in Eugene, Oregon in January. This is a pretty big honor for her since only two singers were chosen from her school. We are excited to see her concert in January!

Combing Their Own Hair
All the boys are needing haricuts, but yesterday was too busy to get them in. So this morning, as we are getting ready for church, I am trying hard to get too much hair on their heads to lay flat. Tanner, and then Parker, insisted on combing their own hair for church, which resulted in this:

Mastick
You would think that after 13 years of having kids, I should know by now that when they are unusually quiet, they are up to something. Enter Parker, who is proud to show me his "mastick", which I am assuming is his makeup language for lipstick, but confused with mascara. Either way, it's a mess:

Soccer Fever
Soccer is finally over for the season, and while I am not missing two practices and 1-2 games per week, in cooooold weather, I am missing watching Josh and Luke play. They have not played on a team before this year, and I was really impressed with the progress they both made. Josh did really well, getting to play defense and forward almost all the time. Luke was forward and mid-field, and did pretty good as well. It got to be so much fun at the end of the season to watch them play and see how much they had learned. At the party at the end of the year, their coach made sure to tell them to request him for their coach next year, so they could play for him again.

Halloween and Punkin Carvin'
Carving pumpkins is always fun. The kids saved one for me to carve, but I haven't got around to it, yet. Maybe for Thanksgiving?
I tried so hard to convince my kids to be something different this year, but Josh was the only taker. Tanner and Luke were ninjas again, Kaitlin was lady Zorro, Parker was Batman, and Josh was a mummy. I had a lot of fun making his costume, and he turned out really cool looking, but I might be biased. =>
