This was hilarious. Mike cut himself shaving and had put a piece of toilet paper on his face to stop the bleeding. I looked over and saw something on Cooper's face, too. When I asked him, he told me he had a piece of toilet paper just like Daddy.

Cooper and Hanna really had no idea what they were getting into..

Pre-surgery photos! Sporting the snazzy hats... :)

Halloween with the Oz Kids

I can't believe we could even get these kids to stay in one place long enough to snap a few photos! They went as the Wizard of Oz... hopefully it's at least somewhat evident. My kids were: Ian - Tin Man; Alli - Glenda the Good Witch; Cooper - Munchkin; Hanna - a very unhappy Cowardly Lion. Cousins were: Emily - Dorothy; Paige - Scarecrow; Cade - another Munchkin!!

Hartman Reserve Outing

The youngest kiddos had a great time 'exploring' at Hartman Reserve while Ian and Emily (cousin) were at school. The intent was for us to take a walk and collect leaves, then do leaf rubbings. The walk was pretty tiring for the littlest legs, though, so we decided that was more than enough for the day.
