Happy Halloween

I know it is a day early, but tonight was the 'Trunk or Treat' on base. We didn't actually make it to the cars unfortunately with the line being so long, but we stood in line and candy was delivered via wagon as we waited. It was a bummer, but next year we will know to get there even earlier!! The boys looked cute anyway! There were 3 other Batmans, but Riley was the only Robin!! We snuck into the commissary to buy some more candy to compensate...haha!

More Halloween Goodies

The boys got cards from Mimi & Papa with MONEY inside!! Andrew was very excited about the money and Riley will get up to speed when he realizes that he can buy something with it!!

Jack...carved

SO...it was bugging me that he looked silly, so I decided to carve him. The design WAS a little bit intricate for an inexperienced carver like me, but I did my best and Andrew and I had fun making a mess!!

First Halloween Box

We received our first Halloween box today...from Grammy & Grampy! Here are the boys with their goodies!!!! And, yes, Riley dove right into the candy, BUT mean Mommy took it away since it was his bedtime :( lol

Jack

Our pumpkin this year is Jack Skelton from "The Nightmare before Christmas" (Daddy's favorite movie!). I didn't get a carving kit thinking the face would be too complicated, I decided to just trace it, but it would have looked much better carved. Oh well, we'll carve again next year! It still came out cute, though, don't you think??

Plastic Bowl Band

Andrew insisted upon as all wearing plastic hats as bowls while we were playing instruments: I was the saxophone player, Andrew played the guiar, and Riley OF COURSE played the drums! So, I guess we are the "Plastic Bowl Band" haha!

Nintendo DSi

Andrew's new games finally came along with his screen protector and his new DSi skin (he had picked out Toy Story 3 skin). Doesn't it look cute???

Rental Car

So, since my car is parked and Adam is 'unauthorized' to drive his car, we now have a rental. It is a pretty rough ride and costs 15 euros a day, but it looks cute at least!

Bowling

Daddy ended up getting the day off so after Andrew got out of school, we went bowling as a family!! Andrew has been begging me to go bowling for a couple weeks now since he saw (Curious) George go bowling in a movie he owns. We had a lot of fun and Daddy won with a whooping 102 points, Andrew came in second at 87 points and Mommy lost at 65 points. But, before you give me a hard time, I would like to plead my case by saying that I haven't bowled in over a year AND Riley helped me...haha

Buddies

They were holding hands in the car on the way to the bowling alley; I thought it was so cute so I had Daddy snap a picture!!

Back at the Co-Op

Today was Riley and I's first day back at the Co-Op; he did really well but I am sure that was because I was there as well, we will see how it goes on Thursday by himself! It was just me, him and three girls who were all younger than him, so that was a change for him! He had a lot of fun showing them how to make noise and build blocks!!

Kid's Fun Run/Fun Day

Today was the base's annual marathon and they had a one mile kid's fun run as part of it. Andrew only ran two laps for a total of 1/2 mile, but he had fun which was the important part. Adam even ended up running with him to keep him focused; he was getting distracted by all the parent's standing around watching! Riley was too young to participate in the actual race, but he had his own little marathon in the field before the race while Andrew was playing field hockey with the other kids!!
