Neighborhood Fun

This is how our kids have fun in the neighborhood.  Riding bikes and scooters and tying them all together with jump-ropes.

Halloween 2011

 Sydney a black cat.  Tyson a knight.  Carson a dragon.  So Tyson's costume is actually a Roman soldier, but he wanted to be a knight, and he really liked this costume.  If you take off the helmet, which he did often, then I think it works!

 It worked out great that Tyson was a Knight,  and that Knights fight dragons.  We just needed Sydney to be a princess, but she was pretty set on being a black cat.

 This year we trick-or-treated in our own neighborhood, which we've never done before (last year was our first year halloween in this house, but it was on a Sunday, so we didn't trick-or-treat).  It was the perfect amount of houses, and it's extra fun because we know everybody.

Counting the candy afterwards!

The Bird House

 Last year Sydney made a bird house in school.  We hung it in our back yard and over the summer a family of chicadee's moved in and hatched some babies.  We learned that we are supposed to clean out the bird house every fall, so we opened it up last week.  We found a nest and two eggs that never hatched!  The nest included a lot of Lafawndah hair.
