Spice Rack

Yesterday was Home Depot's Craft Day and the kids made a spice rack. Kaleb wanted a mohawk...or foe-hawk....anyways, he tried really hard to do it himself. Mom ended up cleaning up a few spots, but overall he did a great job.

Beds and Rewards

Kaleb finally got a new bed. He had been sleeping on a hand-me-down bed that felt like a sofa bed....very uncomfortable. He is now in a twin and his room looks so much bigger!! Then we have Klara, she has been coming to my bed at night and when I kick her out, Clif has been finding her curled up in the living room. The last pic is of the kids reward charts. I've been working really hard with Kaleb on his reading. He gets a sticker for every book he reads, as many as he wants per day but no less than one. Today he finished filling his chart and got a pizza hut coupon for his very own pizza. Klara had been working on a chart as well. She is working very hard on NOT sucking her fingers. So without complaining, she wears a sock on her hand when she sleeps and yucky cream during the day as reminders to not suck on those fingers. When she does good, she gets a sticker and if I catch her sucking then she removes a sticker from her chart. Her reward is a Cinderella doll that she proudly earned today as well. I'll keep both reward charts going since I've seen a huge success with their earned rewards. I'm very proud of them both!!

Halloween Fun

We spent most of Halloween night at the area churches this year. The kids did cake walks, crafts, jump houses, fishing. car races and more. We did end up going door to door a bit as well and certainly ended up with plenty of candy and treats.

Sea Monkies

Kaleb got Sea Monkies for a b-day gift (suggested by me) for his science class. Those "specks" floating in the water are the creatures. Not the best of pics, but it has been fun watching them swim around and grow. Just wanted to share them.

Pumpkins!!!

Each year we carve pumpkins with my folks. It's always interesting to see what we come up with. Each of us are standing behind our own pumpkins. This was the best I could get with the pumpkins lit up. The 2 on the left belong to my parents and the 4 on the right are ours.

Kaleb's 7th B-day

Kaleb wanted another Pirate Party this year and Klara wanted to be a Queen. This worked out really well since WalMart had the costumes. Then we ordered a cake thru Sams Club and they put his pic on it. He loved that. And of course, the group photo.

Nekol's B-day

My folks came up to help celebrate my b-day and Kaleb's. They posted our pic on the news so I took a pic of us on the tv.(P.S.) You can click on the collages to make the pic larger if needed.
