New Blog Look

I know it's early for Christmas, but I wanted to get first dibs on the background :) And there is no good Thanksgiving music through playlist.com. So, this should help get you into the Christmas spirit early!

Blizzard 10-28 to 10-29

We have 2 feet of snow and the storm is finally winding down. We have had fun while being snowed in. Last night Kim and Brian came over and we watched a couple of movies. Today we shoveled our walks along with a few of our neighbors. We have a snowblower and we feel bad for our neighbors who don't. A must for every home owner! With Kyle, we are usually shoveling snow back off of the walks.

Then this afternoon, before Kim had to go to work, we all went sledding. Kyle went down once and said "That's enough." So we all went down a few more times. It was fun. Kyle was more interested in mking and throwing snowballs. After we had hot chocolate and took Kim home so she could go to work. We are just chillin' getting ready to watch movies.

Kyle's Playgroup Halloween Party 10-28

Kyle is in a boy playgroup and it happens that I was hosting this week so we had a Halloween Party. We played Halloween Bingo, Don't Eat Pete, Hot Potatoe (with Halloween Kid Music), we had a pinata, and snacks. Kyle hepled stuff the pinata. He couldn't wait to break it open after he knew what was in it. For snacks we had apples with carmel dip sauce, ear wax swabs, candy corn kabobs (pinapple, mand. oranges, and mini mallows), and witches brew (lime kool-aid with dry ice so it smoked out of the cauldron). It was cool and Kyle had a blast with his friends!

Halloween Party's 10-24

We have been busy getting ready for Halloween. Mom and I made our Halloween costumes. We all went as someone from Phineus and Ferb (best show on TV by the way!). Kyle was Phineaus, Brian was Ferb, I was Candace, Henry was Dr. Doofenshmirtz, and Kim was Vanessa. So far we have been to the trick or treat train at the train museum, and the trunk or treat at the church. We stioll have boo at the zoo and then trick or treating. Kyle picked out the costumes for everyone.

Updates

Sorry I haven't posted anything new in over a month. We have been really busy. Then to top it all off, we have been sick this week. So since I am laying low for a few days I figure that updating the blog would be a good low impact activity. There are a lot of posts so please read on! There are 7 posts not including this one (it goes on to another page).

Rockies Postseason Playoff Game

A friend of ours sold us 4 tickets to game 4 of the NLDS. The game was supposed to be Sunday night but becasue of the extreme cold, Saturdays game was moved to Sunday so ours was moved to Monday.

The weather was great! Kyle was so excited to go. All day he talked about going to the Rockies game and seeing the baseball game. As soon as we got there, Kyle fell asleep and got sick with a low grade fever. Poor kid. The rockies lost, it is still too painful to talk about. Kyle really perked up in the 7th when we sang Take Me Out To The Ball Game and there were fireworks.

We took Brian with us.

Kyle Starts Football

Friday (Oct. 9) Kyle had his first football practice. Kyle had a blast! He was running around and laughing. Dad was so proud. The best was when they were playing shark and minnows. The sharks had to pull the flags off of the minnows. Kyle was one of two minnows left in the first game. Infact there were a swarm of sharks going for him. He stopped, the sharks ran past him, and he ran on. One of the dads said "did you see that kid just juke the sharks? That was great!" Maybe he will be a running back. Quarterback is his other option becasue he can't catch to save his life!
