Sky and kids decorating the tree. 

We decided it'd be best to put the tree in the computer room this year. - It's freeeezing back here! 

Weeeeeeeeeeeee! 

Here we go again! 

sledding down hill in backyard (off golf course) after our 2nd snowfall. 

My boys all greased up and freezing at the Appleton parade - it was fantastic! 

Check out that hair! 

This is the picture that will appear on our Christmas cards - through walmart.com. I hope they turn out well. I uploaded from home and I'm supposed to be able to pick them up in an hour. I hope they turn out okay. 

Check out that hair!!!!!! 

Tomorrow the entire second grade is having a Thanksgiving Feast as a wrap up to the section they've been learning. They've been learning what life was like in 1620. So, the parents have been asked to help by either baking, supplying, or lending a hand at the feast. Well, I'm going to be helping out but I also baked chocolate chip pumpkin bread (left) and zucchini (yeast) bread. I did a good job though, the zucchini bread is a little salty. I'll try to remember my camera tomorrow. 

Climb! Climb! Climb! Josh got into his toy basket and was climbing up onto the table! 

There's my boy chowing down on steamed broccoli! He had steamed carrots and squash and grilled chicken, too. He's a good eater! I try so hard to make sure he gets a healthy meal 3 times a day but I'm not used to doing so much cooking! 

I had to warmify and crackle to photo so I don't look quite as bad - not much luck there. But anyway, Krissy found contentment upon Joshua's belly. I thought this was so sweet. 

Sky and Justin at 4am getting ready to go hunting. Justin said later he liked walking around in the woods but doesn't like sitting still in the tree stand. (Pardon all my groceries in the background - I usually don't leave them for morning.) :) 

I wedged the gate between the speaker and the tv stand so I could go back and forth putting up laundry without having to keep stepping over the gate. Well, Josh knows how to slide and pull the gate so he can get around it unless it's hooked so I put a toy between him and the loose end of the gate. Here he is trying to climb over the gate using his toy as a stool. :) 

Our FIRST SNOW!!!!!!!!!!! (and it's still coming down - and it's quite windy) The kids are all excited.  

UMM, UMM ham and cheese! 

Tyler zonked after kindergarten - Krissy keeping him warm. 

A fine pair of beggars! 

The kids had a lot of fun playing in the hay bales! Sky was chasing them and scaring them here, too. (He accidentally scared one that wasn't his - thankfully the kid laughed and didn't scream!) 

Rebecca, Justin, Tyler, and Nicholas at the corn mazes. 

Sky, Joshua, Tyler, and Justin entering the corn maze - the kids really enjoyed this! We'll go back next year but earlier when the corn is thick and green. It was still fun for them and they got a little lost and scared as daddy chased them through the maze. It was fun to hear them giggling out loud with anticipation of daddy jumping out at them. 

Rebecca feeding a - an animal. :) 

Me and Joshua at The Little Farmer near Fond Du Lac, WI. They have some really neat animals - runner ducks, and - well, check out the website: http://www.thelittlefarmer.com/index.html
