Giner bread houses

The kids made ginger bread houses tonight.

Christmas decorations

Tracy did a great job setting up the Christmas tree today. The second
picture is of Gma Charlotte's ceramic Santa and Christmas tree that
Tracy remembers her always using.

Another Saturday night

Grandma Lorrie babysat the kids Saturday night so Tracy and I could watch the B1G10 Championship game with some friends. Aden took to the recliner to read within minutes of getting there, and Addie went right into playing with Oliver who was also there.

Aden wasted no time settling in with his car book from the library, JB's Handyman magazine on deck, an AutoPlus mag, and Car & Driver. Gonna be a big night.

Addie was thrilled that Oliver was there to play

Office space

I had to run into the office last weekend and Addie tagged along. She loves playing teacher on the marker board. I think the drawing is a story of going down a slide at the park and then going on the monkey (spelled "mucke") bars.

Around town

Here are a few pictures from the kids in Elkhart Lake a few weekends ago.

Adalin's tower

Adalin was very proud of her tower.

Fall cleanup

We were going through pictures and realized these slipped through the cracks. The kids loved playing in the leaves this fall. Tracy once again did a great job helping them carve pumpkins and get ready for Halloween.

Movember

This year I am participating in Movember with several coworkers at Mercury Marine. During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men's faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo's, these men raise vital awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

It's the last week of Movember and this thing needs to go. Hopefully it did some good for Men's Health.

Hide and Seek

Addie found a good hiding spot.

Chucky Cheese Half Day

The kids had a half day so Tracy took them to Chucky Cheese. Check out the dance moves the kids put on display in the videos.

Ear Piercing!

Addie saw another girl getting her ear pierced tonight and asked if
she could get hers done. She was excited and did a great job. She
picked out earrings with a pink flower.

The picture if Roscoe sitting on the fireplace mantle reminded us of Tugger.
