Veteren's Day

We'll it was a cold and rainy day. We started out at Franks home and the kids sang him a song and also sang another Veteren living with Frank a song too. We then found a good dry spot under a bridge to watch the Veteren's parade. We then went to Red Robin's where we told them it was Conor's birthday and he got a free icecream and shared it with the rest of the boys.

HAPPY VETERENS DAY

Were off to go watch the annual veterens day parade. We are also going to stop by and let the kids sing great great Uncle Frank some songs about America and Freedom since Uncle Frank is a Veteren.

I will post the pictures later today.

fish hachery

My mom heard through a friend that there was a really neat art event happening near Alsea Fish Hachery. We ended up arriving there about 1:00 pm, went on a tour of the hachery and then did two art projects. The first one the kids painted on realy fish, squid, stingrays and octopus and transfered it to fabric. Chase and Parker really enjoyed it, and Conor wasn't to sure about touching any of the fish. THen we went and did watercolor painting the kids art work turned out so good that I will probably end up framing them and puting them in their rooms.

Robin & Hunting buddies

Steve's dad passed on through this week on his way hunting in eastern oregon.
Steve enjoyed spending a couple nights with him and he got to watch one of Conor's guitar lessons.

Veteren's Day Assembly

Conor's choir had their first so called concert today during the Veteren's Assembly. They did very well and the whole assembly was very moving. Parker's class even sang a song.

Halloween

Happy Halloween!!! Boy did we have a busy day. Started out with the kids costume parade at the school, then home for a couple hours, then to the retirement home where Parker's class performed, then back to the school to Conor's class party, then to Parker's class party. Not done yet, then downtown trick or treat, neighborhood and school party!! The kids and us were exhausted by the time we got home. They even stayed up a little longer to give out candy to our neighbor kids and kids from school. The boys were all originally suppose to be football players, Conor Seahawks, Parker Dallas Cowboys, and Chase OSU Beavers. Well Steve's spray paint helmet job didn't take and so Chase change his mind to be Batman. He continued to change his mind everytime we came home, so in the end he was Batman, then spiderman, and finally a Seahawks football player ( he's still wearing it today we can't get him to change)!

Sandy & Adrien joined us that afternoon for trick or treating!
