Halloween Crafts

While we were in Twin for Grandpa Duggan's birthday, Kris' cousins Christal and Chloe did some crafts with the boys. It was so cute and super nice of them! They had the stuff all cut out and ready to put together, and even had candy for the jars. They even filled one of the jars with cheerios for Marley! I wish they lived closer, they would be great babysitters!

How to take care of a Library book

Josiah got to check out his first book from the school library this week. He was totally excited! This is how you take care of a library book (in his own words)

1. Don't leave it outside
2. Don't put it down where pets and babies can get them
3. Don't eat while you are reading your book
4. Turn the pages by the tip

Needless to say, I am impressed!

Aggravation!

Kris and I love to play board games together, and so we thought we would try and see if the boys were ready to join us. With it so yucky and stormy outside, it was the perfect evening to try it. So we popped some popcorn and set up Aggravation. We were so glad to find that the boys did awesome with it! We didn't even have to help them move their pieces. I am so excited for all the family game nights we have to look forward to now!





Of course we had to take a break for the boys to play in the snow (in october?!?)


Marley even got to participate! She loved sitting up at the table with us!

Happy Birthday Kris!

On Monday we celebrated Kris' 31st birthday with a fun evening at home. My parents came over for fish, shrimp, and french fries (per Kris' request). We also invited Trevor to join us. It was a great night of yummy food and relaxing. We were really excited that my dad was able to join us. He was out driving, and we were sure he would not make it home. It was a nice surprise for him to be here. Trevor and Kris stayed up until something like 2:30 playing xbox. I feel bad though, Trevor got called in to work at 5 am! Poor guy!

I couldn't resist snapping a few pics of the kids the other night. Can you guess who the ham in the family is?
