Shedd Aquarium

On a recent Friday off school, we took our first day trip into Chicago.  We rode the train in, and went to Shedd Aquarium.  After the aquarium, we had some Chicago style pizza for supper before heading home.  The boys loved looking at all the fish.  The sharks, sea lions, and whales were the favorites.

Halloween pictures

A family from church hosted a Halloween party for the Sunday school.  Here is a pizza, baseball player, and an old man/nerd.  I dressed up as a cowgirl.

Here are the kids playing musical chairs.  We also went on a hay ride.

Here we have a race car driver and pizza ready for trunk or treat at church.

This was the whole group of trunk or treaters.

Jonathan and I went for a hike to the lake last Monday while the boys were in school.  There were some beautiful fall colors, and we had what will probably be our last warm day of the year.

Paul eating snack at his school party.  This time he wore his football player costume.

This was a picture of the waves on Halloween.  We had a strong north wind, so we had to go check out the lake.

Halloween afternoon, we had some snow.  The boys decided (thankfully) that they didn't want to go trick or treating.  We did stop by a couple houses, and ate pizza with one of the families from church.


This isn't Halloween, but I had to take a picture of Paul and Daddy in matching jammies!
