Scary Pistol Pete

Ever since Will was 1 1/2 he has LOVED Pistol Pete! At football, basketball, and volleyball games, he scans the crowd for Pistol Pete. The Cowboys had a basketball game on Friday that we decided to attend. As usual, Will was asking if he would see Pistol Pete. I replied that maybe he could even shake his hand. During the first quarter, Will was in luck. Pistol Pete came down to our section. I waved my arms to get him to come over to us and took out the camera to get a picture. Clark took Will out of the row to talk to Pistol Pete. Anyone want to guess Will's reaction?

He was BAWLING!!! After we got him to calm down, I asked why he was sad and he said, "Pistol Pete have big teeth!"

Winter Wonderland

I woke up this morning, looked out the window and surprise, white, everywhere! I loved it! So did Will. After breakfast he stared out the window and asked, "Make snowman now?" After Rosie laid down for her morning nap, we quickly put on our snow boots and snow suits and headed out the front door.

After the carrot and coals were in place, I was ready to get out of the chilling wind. Will didn't want to go inside. He's much tougher than I am. Will asked if we could "Make bigger snowman?" So we added a few more handfuls of snow to the base. Winter is here and we are excited!

On a totally different note, after running errands, the kids and I were quite tired. I got out of the car to unload the kids and they were both fast asleep . . . holding hands! I love little moments like that. It makes all the craziness worth it.

We're Back!!

Well, it's almost a month later and we now have a working computer. I am so excited to catch up on all the blogs. Here's what we've been up to this past month:

Oh shoot, I forgot the pictures show up in reverse order. Oh well! This is my beautiful little sister Amy, Rosie, my cool brother Josh, and Will at my Dad's house. We went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood and Will was in heaven. He couldn't believe all you had to do was knock on someone's door and they would give him "lots, lots, lots of candy!" Whenever they let Will choose what candy he wanted, without fail, he would pick a lollipop.

Here are the kids, ready to trick-or-treat. Rosie didn't like the bear head so much. She kept trying to rip it off during the night.

Clark turned the big 2-5! We had "Better than Almost Anything" Cake and celebrated the day Clark came into the world.
