Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

We had our first snow of the year today...I'm really not sure that I'm ready for that yet! Oh well...ready or not, here it comes! The Gills are staying with us right now while Mim and Brent are in the Galapagos Islands with Brad and Sharee, and the kids got out first thing this morning for some fun in the snow:

Cute Girls!

Superman and the Cowgirl

Happy Halloween 2011! The kids this year wanted to dress up as Superman and a Cowgirl...


We had fun carving pumpkins the night before Halloween. Bad mom award...I forgot pics this year. They pretty much look the same as last years' efforts, though. Visual arts is definitely not my creative strong point. :) I took the kids trick-or-treating on Monday night while Todd hit the books (ahh, the life of a college student), which is okay, because I actually enjoy trick-or-treating whereas Todd would pretty much rather be mauled by bears. My dad taught me as a kid how to find the best places and get maximum coverage in minimum time. We went around Liberty Lake until the kids had finally had enough...6 1/2 lbs. of candy later. Should last them until Easter!
