Fight for the Championship

Ethan loves watching Marilyn play the Wii. He loves when she plays the Segway. Nate decided he would try Wii fit with all of us tonight, so we made him a profile. The game asks for your height, then weighs you, and lastly it gives you a balance test. Once it is finished, it gives you your fit age. Apparently, Nate is really 49 years old. We died laughing!!! The rest of the night, he tried to knock everyone's first place scores off!
Ethan worked so hard getting first place on ski jumping!
This morning once Nate left for work, Ethan logged onto Nate and sabotaged his scores! He thought it was so funny!

Trick or Treat

This year we decided to all dress up as Star Wars characters.
Good Vs. Evil
Rachel and Jaden invited to come to their house/neighborhood for Halloween again this year!
I was so happy when I noticed Rachel was dressed up. Then, the Hills showed up in costume and I was super excited!!!
It seems we weren't the only Star Wars characters out tonight!
Lincoln started off so strong. He YELLED Happy Halloween and Trick or Treat so loudly. Then, he waited until everyone left the doorstep and told the people giving out candy THANK YOU!!! He was so sweet. He was such a trooper, but he got really tired towards the end.
We had the best time and also made out in the candy department!!!!

Saturday in DC

Mar was stuck inside with Link all day yesterday. She will be stuck inside with both boys all day Monday and Tuesday, so we decided to get OUT of the house today!Spike opened up a new pizza place, so we tried that first. Then, we walked past the Capitol to the Botanical Gardens. Today, was John Stewarts Rally to Restore Sanity. There were SOOO many people with signs and so many people in costume.

We had to get a picture of Ethan near the coconut tree. His new favorite book is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. He has it almost memorized.

The boys looking for alligators.

Mar and Link posed near the giant leaf!

I tried to get a picture with Mar and both boys, but Link was in heaven running in the "jungle." During baths tonight, E said that the Botanical Gardens was just like the amusement park, but we didn't get to ride any rides.

Games

Lincoln is starting to understand the rules of games. This weekend I noticed that they pulled this game out and started playing all by themselves!!

Impulse buy

Ethan has a new basketball hoop. It was such an impulse buy. We forgot to measure the garage. It doesn't fit, so Nate has to haul this around back everynight!!! Ooops! I am still glad we bought it! He has gotten so much better!!!

Disturbed

Ethan: Lincoln you are disturbing me. Do you know what disturbing means?
Link: NO.
Ethan: It means you are bothering me! Now stop disturbing me.
Link: E-han, I LOVE disturbing you!

My pumpkins!

The boys have made three trips the pumpkin patch. Our porch is getting full of pumpkins!
