Halloween a month later ...

Heading down the road for tricks or treats

Our sweet little Panda Bear at the carnival

Jade's favorite booth at the carnival - the petting zoo.  The FFA kids were so patient showing her all of the animals and answering all of her questions.  Their sponsor tried to convince me that Jade should get a guinea pig for Christmas.
Suited up and ready to get candy!!!

Pretty toes

She is such a girl!  Where did that come from?

Donuts for Dinner

The Robot Club ordered Krispy Kreme Donuts as a fundraiser, after many frustrations and mis-communications they finally arrive (12 hours late) at the airport!!  After picking up the 100 boxes of donuts and delivering them to school Wade arrived home with 4 boxes :)

When I picked up the kids by myself they were expecting to go back to the high school and get their dad.  I explained that he had gone to the airport to get donuts, for this they were willing to wait!  When he walked in the front door I yelled - "Dad's home."  The usual thudding of feet could be hear and then ...

Slater - "Dad did you go to the airport and get those donuts?" 
Dad - "Yup and I dropped them off at school"
Slater spotted the boxes  - "Are those presents for us?"
Dad - "I guess they are."
Slater - "Ooohhh, that is just great! Can I open it now?"
Dad - "I guess"
Both kids - "Ooohhh, they are donuts, can we have one?"
Dad being the strong parent - "Well you can only have one before dinner."
Slater and Jade - "Ooohhh, that is just great!"


Later - the small ones try to steal the boxes for their grandpa and uncle.  After Dad reclaimed the donuts they took action and armed themselves with blasters, then made a sneak attack on the new donut location.  In stealth mode (yelling and crawling on their bellies) they stormed the gates, while unsuccessful they seemed undaunted and we are sure they are plotting a second attempt :)
