Halloween!

 

We took the kids to the mall again this year and than a few more houses around our neighborhood for trick or treating.  They had a blast and it was fun to watch Ollie try to understand what this trick or treating was, but when he saw you got candy and stickers,there were no more questions! :) Before that he just kept asking, where are we going and why. 

Here are Buzz Lightear, Tinkerbell and Transformer preparing for their mission!

 

Michigan Visit by Craig and Levi

Special time with Papa and helping after his surgery.

Pumpkin carving party with all the cousins!

 

Now he is just looking forward to going again after Christmas!



Get you!

 

 

This video is part of the ghost balloon saga but I doubt I will unpload them all. Basically these balloons were flown like kites, used to get Levi and his friend Jarome on their bikes, hit at each other and pulled behind bikes and still they didn't pop.  They made these balloon ghosts at story hour and they seemed invincible! :)

 

Post vacation days

 Here is some post legoland inspiration from their miniland.  They made this house complete with slides and Ck's kitchen that opens and couches, etc. Pretty cute.

 

 

Then just my cuties! :)  

Fall Vacation!! Florida!

First up for pictures is the waterpark at our hotel. We got to do this when we arrived Tuesday and then again on Thursday.  Levi was big enough to do the big slides and he did them all! 

 Then on Wednesday, Disney World. We did the Magic Kingdom!

 Going over to the World on the Ferry.  We hadn't done the Ferry last time, so Levi wanted to do it this time and then take the monorail home.

Clara colored a picture and really wanted give it
to Minnie. Here she is with minnie and her picture.
Minnie said she would put it in her house! :)

They had so much fun.  Clara was even brave enough to do Splash and Thunder Mountain! We stayed to watch the parade and fireworks and very importantly to Ck, watch Tinkerbell fly from the castle! So the were VERY tired on the way back to the hotel.

 

 Then on Friday, Legoland!

 This is the two of them after they did driving school and got their license! They were very proud. And yes, this whole entire car is made out of legos!

 In miniland in front of the capitol.

Do you see Levi in the front with his hands up?

 

All in all, we had a GREAT trip. Ollie seemed to have a great time on his "trip" to Grandma and Grandpa's house too! :)

Levi is 7!

 

Our boy is 7!!  Levi had a lot of celebrating for his birthday and got to start early by bringing in donuts to share with his class the Thursday before since it was fall break starting Friday.  Then we got to do fun things since fall break had started like have our first fire of the season, go to the childrens museum, open presents, and decorate his cake which he did ALL by himself this year.  (His cake was a baseball field of course!) And all that PLUS get ready for our Disney World/LegoLand trip! 

 We decided to roast inside this time since it had been raining a lot. Notice Ollie eatting as many marshmellows as he could before we noticed!

Then
Then opening presents with his school birthday hat on.
 Then our GF smore...minus the graham cracker but still yummy! :)

Wearing his new Tigers hat and warm up suit. 

And his Baseball cake decorated by him!
 He enjoyed wearing it to watch the Tigers game with his Dad!  He is quite the Tigers fan and is really into it. Craig's dreams are coming true! :) It seems like just yesturday Craig was just holding baby Levi while he watched sports and said he can't wait till he can play catch with him and really watch sports with him and now he is!

 And his lego present from Nana and Papa.  He put the truck part together right away by himself and took the rest to Florida with us to do in the hotel.
