The Frozen Tundra of Community Field, Carrollton, Ohio

Turkey Bowl Three

We held the third annual Turkey Bowl this morning at Community Field. This was our largest turn out yet. We had four teams. Playing in the snow was actually a plus. It helped make the falls softer. There were no serious injuries to any of the old folks, so it was a successful and fun event. Aunt Elaine and Uncle Jim hosted the post game Breakfast.

We even had spectators. Grandpa Amos is standing at the top of the hill with Kyle and Grandma Amos is making her way up the hill on the right.

We are getting official. Aunt Neva and Uncle Mike made yard markers so we could correctly measure out 10 yards to help keep better track of first downs.

Snowglobes

Luke and Mallory got snowglobes from Grandma Peggy for their collections. Luke got to open his and Mallory's when they came in the mail.

Recent Pictures

Here are some recent pictures of Luke and Mallory. Mallory has one of her front teeth coming in and that's what this picture is of just incase you couldn't tell.

Luke is wearing his dad's underwear.

Love

Luke really adores his sister. He and Mallory interact so much now. Mostly, it's Luke stealing her toys from her, but atleast he's paying attention to her. Actually, he waves to her and she waves back, he tickles her to make her laugh, he gives her kisses every night before bed, and he wants to share all his food and drink with her! We hope this lasts!

Products of the 80's

I'm a nerd and like to dress up for Halloween. Last year I wanted to dress up for school, but we weren't allowed. We came up with a way around it. We decided to do an 80's unit and teach our 8th graders all about life in the 80's. All the teachers teach something about the 80's that pertains to their subject area. For example, in math we made scale models of My little Ponies and other fun 80's toys. So, the great teachers that we are ;), we dress the part too! It took a lot of trips to the Goodwill to perfect this outfit. I love it.

Happy Halloween

The last week has been full of Halloween Fun. This is one of our favorite times of the year (Next to Christmas). It's been fun doing things with Luke and Mallory. I know their costumes aren't really costumes, but I thought it was clever. Craig informed me that it was stupid, but I had fun finding them suits and decorating the wagon. Luke was John McCain and Mallory was Barack Obama. They got second place at the Grange Halloween Party in Robertsville (There were only 3 kids in their category though). Luke's wig kind of fell apart. The other side of the wagon had a McCain sign, thanks to Mike and Dana.

We got to BYOP to Church last week and decorate.

Uncle Mike is really into this.

These Pictures are of Luke decorating caramel apples and Auntie and Uncle Jimmy's house. He threw up about 3 hours after this from eating all of the gummy worms, m&m's, candy corn, and gummy bears that were supposed to go on the apples.

Luke's New Pose

This is how Luke poses for pictures now. Everytime we get the camera out and try to take a picture he hides his face.
