DIY Halloween 2015

Making our own costumes...

Walk of Doom

The boys spent HOURS.... no DAYS working on this project.  Their idea was to create a spooky walk for everyone in the world to partake in on Halloween night.  They ended up settling with just having a few family members and neighbors attend.  But boy was it fun to create!  

Ummmm...

Because we all brushed our hair today...

... we took some pictures.  

Thank you boys for exhibiting such immense self control 

and composure for the 6 minutes I asked you to act "normal".  

You can go back to wrestling and poking each other now.  

 And a couple just to be silly...

Picture Day!

Our 3rd Grader... 

and Kindergartner...

Fun Run 2016

We enjoyed a Fun Run fundraiser at JFBurns.  

Loving the exercise and chance to spend the afternoon outside with buddies.  

We are proud of you Howie and Johnny!

Swim Team 2016

Let's face it.... swim team is mostly about being with your buddies all summer long....

First Day... Hooray!

First Day of Kindergarten and Third Grade...

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Easter 2016

The boys enjoy about 1,000 jelly beans each today as they celebrate the resurrection of Christ. So predictable.

The Easter bunny pooped black jelly beans all over the floor again this year. Again, so predictable.

Turning off media means...

... More time for building cup towers, sewing with mom, finding new skateboard parks, playing "settlers" in the backyard, climbing from one side of the swing set to the other without touching the ground, puzzles on a tabletop and generally getting along better.

So glad we took the challenge!

Another Beautiful Day at Cincinnati Nature Center

Hiking on a brisk spring day with Nonnie and Paw Paw... I hope my kids will always look back and see these kind of days in their childhood.
