Fall or Winter?

It sure feels like Fall in Knoxville...maybe even Spring since the boys wore shorts to school this week. Of course Winter is coming in the form of Winter Storm Cato right as we plan to drive to Washington DC. We are going to attempt the trip today and pray for clear skies and roads!

Here are some pictures from our afternoon of "raking."

Air Jackson!

Long and lanky. We've currently nicknamed Ethan "Noodles" due to his long limbs. 

I love these moments. 

Happy Fall Ya'll! (Or Spring...Winter...)

Zoo Trip!

Last week I helped chaperone Jackson's class on their field trip to the Knoxville Zoo! I didn't lose any children!

We started with the camels. Jackson was nice enough to pose for a VERY quick picture. 

Cruising in the zoo jeep.

Playing with the otter. 

A Jack-owl!

Thanks for a fun time first grade!

May the Force Be with You

We had a great Halloween dressing up as the cast of Star Wars. Mom and Dad were Han Solo and Princess Leia, while Ethan was Darth Vader, and Jackson was Luke Skywalker. 

Due to some freakishly cold weather, we started with indoor trick or treating at a retirement community. We then RAN through a couple neighborhoods (in freezing rain) to ensure our buckets were overflowing. Despite the cold, Halloween 2014 was a success!

This is Ethan, I mean Darth, on the 30th on our way to Trunk or Treat at the school. Jackson and Dad skipped the event for soccer (I think Jackson would choose soccer over Disney World). 

Darth Vader was ready! Luke Skywalker was annoyed by his costume. He is not a fan of dressing up, but he quickly forgot about it once candy came into the equation. 

Andrew and I couldn't resist being Han Solo and Princess Leia!
