Halloween
We really had fun dressing up this year. Oliver is " Commander Cody",Lily was ""Venom", and a princess, Dan was "snake eyes", Ellis was a Mongolian Ninja, sol was the cutest bumble bee. Oh yes, Andrew was Master Ticklefu! We went to a fall festival at church; not very much fun. The worst part was Oliver puking up hot dogs in his shoe and on the floor. This year we went Trick or Treating in our neighborhood. It was a very nice change. Our neighborhood is becoming a little more family oriented, it seems. The children brought home way too much candy, ughh! They had a blast.

Apple sauce, your not the boss
the day before apple picking it was 60% chance of rain and then when we got up, it was 10% and just before we left at 10:00 it was raining and 70% for the rest of the day. luck had it that it didn't rain very hard and it made the trees sag for easy picking. we picked 5.5 bushels in just over an hour with the five kids (helping!). There was also tons of poison ivy everywhere, literally everywhere, but by the grace of God nobody got any on them. We got home and started cutting. we did a bushel and a half, two gallons of apple sauced and a gallon of apple butter.
Dan, The bug and snake handler
Dan is not afraid of too many bugs or snakes, Oliver loves them too but doesn't like them enough to get them so he gets Dan, Oliver is getting good at taking pictures of them so I think we are going to start a bug blog.

Hair Cuts
It was pretty painful to cut the boys longish locks off, but they're still so very handsome! Ellis was less than thrilled to get his head shaved ( he scares easily). They all felt better when it was done.

Back to the Zoo
The weather has been so nice lately, we took another trip to the zoo this week ( or did we come from the zoo). Look closely, Ellis has no fingers in his mouth! Click on the picture to enlarge it.

Roaring River
We went on a fantstic camping trip last weekend at Roaring River State Park here in Mo. Tammy was here for the week, so Mom and her came too. The kids had a blast swimming, fishing, going to hatchery, hiking, exploring, ect. We had a glorious heat wave( temps were around 100). Fortunately, our dog Max is great at guarding our campsite, and chased all the racoons and the like away!p

St. Louis Zoo
The Kids Had a blast
We were there for two days and still didn't see everything
There was even a train that went all the way around the zoo and stopped in different areas so you could walk around for a while and catch the next one as it came through
They even got to pet a cobra
This was the sea lion show at the st. louis zoo. The kids loved it!

Happy 7th Birthday Ollie!
Oliver had a fun birthday this year. He was able to celebrate with our closest friends, and Grandma and Auntie Chantel. Ollie chose StarWars for his theme this year. Andrew and I made a StarWars cake, they played " pin the light saber on yoda", among other games. Oliver feels very mature now. He insists that he is in second grade.

What fun sledding is! The kids had a blast. They stayed out in the cold much longer than I thought they would ( their cheeks were nearly frost bitten) !
