Perfect Fall Day

Yesterday was the perfect fall day...and Michigan State won! Dad cleared off the roof with the blower and took Jack with him. Jack felt like a big guy.

We got the last of the leaves out of our plant beds and the boys had fun rolling around in them.

Finally it was time to try bikes without training wheels. Jack did fairly well, but wasn't too sure about the whole thing. He'll get it pretty quickly in the spring I think. The twins tried it too, but they weren't as impressed. Logan just wants a 'standard'....a kick stand for his bike. Luke walked his bike into the garage and decided that he'd wait until he was 6. Too funny!

The First Thanksgiving

The First Thanksgiving

as told by Luke and Logan 11-10-09

The pilgrims went to a new land and taught the Indians how to grow food because they didn't know how. They had a BIG table with all kinds of food on it. They had a 'fiesta' and then they took a 'siesta'. Then the Indians all disappeared. (Where did they go?) A witch came with a magic wand and made them disappear.

The End

Ok, now they're just 4 and in the beginning of November so not very many lessons on the subject yet, but apparently my Spanish is rubbing off :)

Halloween 2009!

Happy Halloween! We started our evening as we usually do down at Grandma and Grandpa Fish's house. This year we had another little boy getting ready for Halloween, my nephew Blake. Here are Luke and Logan respectively. Luke was Bumblebee the Transformer and Logan was Batman. They thought they were big stuff.

Jack had decided to be Batman first, Logan followed his lead. I was impressed that Luke went out on his own with his choice.

I realized after I uploaded this picture that I didn't rotate it first. It will take too much effort at this point so you'll have to lean. This is Sean and Lindsey's dog Tucker dressed as a rooster.

Tucker was a good boy and posed with the boys as we started trick or treating.

We went to a couple houses by Grandma and Grandpa's house, with Tucker leading the way.

Then it was on to Grandma and Pop's house. We did a block around their house.

Posing even though we don't want to slow down. We're ready to run. Then it was back to our neighborhood to finish up. We had a great time!
