A Spider Is Loose In Our House

Halloween is my favorite time of year! I love it so much! Jared and I go all out in our decorations. Below are some pics of our house

It seems the spider left us a lot of webs

Origami bats that the boys and I made. If you want to make them click here

Eyeballs hanging on an antique....around Halloween.....Why not?

Chess

Jared found a Learn To Play Chess Set last week at Goodwill. He has wanted to teach the boys to play for awhile now. The boys seem to pick it up very quickly.

Every Sunday the boys have swimming lessons. They are held at the Middle School. The boys are in the same class this time but I think Kellen will move up when these are done. He is much more comfortable in the water than Ethan is.

I did get some more pics but my lens got steamy. It was really hot in the pool area

Wedding Bells

On Saturday night we went to Jen and Alex's wedding. Jen is Jared's cousin. The wedding was held at Tyrol Basin and was outside. Even though it rained and was cold it was a beautiful wedding.

Luther Loyality Day

Since I forgot to take a picture of the boys on the first day of school, I took one for the first Luther Loyalty Day. The school has Luther Loyalty day once a month. They encourage the kids and staff to wear the school colors. They then have a drawing and someone from each class wins a small prize. So here is a picture of the boys sporting their Luther best!

Aztalan State Park

On Saturday night we took a picnic dinner to Aztalan State Park. The boys had fun running to the top of the hills. I guess Aztalan used to be an Indian village. It was very interesting to see.
