Holidays and Outfits

This was before church on Sunday in some adorable outfits from Mom. Later that night, we did a couple of movie clips - I'll post them next.

I just found out about this yesterday: this is the first year this school system has had two weeks off at Christmas. Normally, they only have one!!! Good grief! Are you kidding me? I was already upset that they don't have a spring break - only 2 days before and one day after Easter. I think I would have had a nervous breakdown with only one week of school.

It has been snowing off and on for the last few days. We haven't even gotten in our boots to go out and play in it. I guess it's becoming old already - uh oh! It may be a long winter!

Halloween Pics - Better Late than Never

We had an excellent Halloween this year! Thank you to Amy Colton for our costumes!

Grady as a Karate guy

Alice as a mermaid (she said she was Ariel.)

Pryor as a bunny rabbit

Haruka, Grady and Alice out trick or treating! They were out for the max allotted time: 6-8 PM - no more no less! Haruka didn't want to go out - we convinced her to go! Who wouldn't want to go and get free candy?

Grady and his hoard - I was blown away by his catch.

Alice got an incredible stash as well - full size candy bars and everything!

A Celebrity in our House

This picture is interesting for two reasons:

- Grady is a cutie patootie in the back row in the middle (with his head askew)

- I didn't realize he will be in the Class of 2020!!

Leaves

These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago, although we were out raking leaves again yesterday. In fact, almost all of the leaves are off this tree today.

Grady loves raking, especially if we pay him a little money!

They wanted to get buried in the leaves and have me take a picture. Well, all you could see in the picture was a pile of leaves!

Grady loves posing for the camera!

News Alert: Snow!

Holy Cow! This was us at 8:00 AM this morning:

Alice's Precious Snowman:

I think it was six inches total:

A live movie of our first snow ball fight of the year. I'm sure there will be many more!

A Couple of Thank Yous

Thank you to Grandmother for these adorable outfits they wore to church on Sunday. You know me and matching! I would have worn a teal jumper if I could have gotten away with it. Grady is a good sport and Pryor *loves* matching him. Alice normally picks out her own clothes - so it's a bit of negotiation and diplomacy to get her agree.

Thank you to Mary Elizabeth and Aunt Amy for lending us this coat. Alice got several compliments on it. She absolutely LOVES it!! It has gotten quite cold so this coat is completely appropriate.
