Halloween Party

The wonderful Watzke family put on another great party!

 making a mummy contest

 games (moved indoors because it was SNOWING outside)

 pumpkin decorating

followed by a Halloween movie in the garage

Eli was missing in action; one of his classmates had a party the same night.

 



had to share

Eli doesn't always provide me with "funny" material, but I thought this was pretty good.

Everyday he changes his clothes in the bathroom.  Almost everyday I pick up his dirty clothes from behind the bathroom door.  The past few days there has only been underwear behind the door. 

Today, Me:  "Eli, will you please get your underwear from the bathroom floor and throw them down the laundry chute?"
            Eli:  "Um..... I don't really like touching underwear."

1st day of school

I had the wrong lens on my camera, and we were not getting out the door as fast as we needed to (yep...already on day 1).  Therefore, I didn't get much for first day photos, but at least I got one.  After day 2, both boys are happy!

Eli and I met my parents for supper on the way to the lake Thursday night.  I had to snap a picture of him bellied up to the bar.  He was watching "Wheel of Fortune".
