Last day of school 2011

One of mine and the children's favorite part of the holiday season is spending more time with Kyle. We stay home and our family comes to us. That's my only wish every year is more time spent together with the people who matter most in our lives.

Karate

Aidan and Ethan started taking karate twice a week in October. At the end of the first session of classes all the kids brought a parent to class.

Aidan loved karate from the start. The worst punishment is to have to sit out a karate lesson.

Ethan sat and watched the first three classes. the uniform orders were being processed. He said he wants to start when he can wear the uniform.

At the end of the first class session (seven weeks) the boys earned a yellow stripe on their belt.

Angels in Disguise

Obi Wan Kanobi also known as big brother Aidan.

He' grown so much.

Ethan will always be four years and Batman in my eyes. He's little but mighty.

No matter how tough, four year old Batman stop to say things like " look mom, I can balance on one foot". I can count on Batman stepping into a puddle on rainy days. He can't resist. He says "It takes super power to walk on water".

If you need a hero, he's your little man.

My little Bee (or B for Bitting Baby Elise) is always hungry.

This costume was just too precious to pass up.

It came down to the bee or a little fairy inspired witch.

Kyle ruled out the witch because he couldn't think of her as a little witch.

I love this costume. It was easy to put on, comfortable and warm.

Can you spot the stinger?

Hungry bee = angry bee.

It took Elise about five minutes to tear up all the petals to the flowers I have her.

We went directly home for a snack.

Beware on Buttercup Boulevard

What a great way to meet the new neighbors. Halloween was also moving day 2011.

Obi Wan Kanobi (Aidan) and Anikan Sky Walker (Riley) ready for battle with ghosts of the night.

Have you seen a cuter tired bumble bee. Was so cuddly as we walked through the neighborhood.

It snowed the night before Halloween. We kept on calling the snowmen ghost. It was perfect.

Elise and her first piece of trick or treat candy.

Sugar coated lips and chocolate covered cheeks are ready for bed.
