November 4, 2008 - Weather Kid

Colin was selected as a TMJ4 'Weather Kid' on the morning news!

Of course, I got a voice message that said he would be featured on Nov 4th so we DVR'd 5 hours of the news yesterday morning without seeing him featured when we tried to watch it last night. Then I didn't think to re-set the DVR for today so of course they switched the dates and we missed seeing it live on TV this morning or on DVR. Thanks to the Internet though, we have the great picture of my Weather Kid! Here's the link to the TMJ4 Weather Kids site (and thanks to Adrienne and Colin's friend Cole for the idea to do this after Cole was a Weather Kid earlier this year!)

November 1, 2008 - soccer in the park

Colin loves to practice his soccer skills, and to race Mama to kick the ball! We love Klode park even more so for the open space to do so!

October 26, 2008 - trick or treat time in WFB

Our village holds trick or treating on Sunday afternoon before Halloween and Colin was excited to be able to dress up in his pirate costume for trick or treating!

Arrr, Matey!
Marissa plays pirate sword fight with Colin

Colin's a very friendly pirate :)

Unfortunately, it was quite frigid and windy on trick or treat day so Colin had to wear his coat over his costume to actually go outside but he definitely had enough pirate accessories to let it be known what his costume was!

Melissa and Marissa joining in for the trick or treating fun! We lasted about 1 1/2 blocks and then had WARM fun passing out candy to all of the trick or treaters from inside the house!
