Happy Halloween

By the time I take care of 4 kids and myself I usually forget the pictures.  So this year there are no 'official' Halloween pictures.  Eric gave up trick or treating after 20 minutes, saying he was cold and would just rather be home.  Caden thought the whole thing was an adventure and kept running ahead.  Kyle was delighted that people kept giving him candy and giggled every time, proudly showing off his new treasure before putting it in his bag.

There are also no pictures of the jack-o-lanterns.  The boys described their pumpkins with the following words: Kyle - Happy; Eric - Spooky; Caden - Creepy.  Due to limited time (read: Ryan spending every spare second working on the basement) there were no super detailed pumpkins or our traditional SCHERBEL pumpkin this year.

I did remember to take pictures of the boys at school.  Here is Eric (Batman) with his preschool class and Caden (Skeleton) in the Elementary school parade.

Green Machines

I finally became a 'soccer mom' this fall when I signed Caden up for a team.  The Green Machines had a fantastic coach (Coach Mac) who focused on teaching them basic skills.  The kids all grew leaps and bounds from their first game to their last.  They didn't win a single game, but it was still a good experience for this team of all first-timers.  Caden was lucky enough to count as his cheering section Grandma and Grandpa Scherbel, Grandma and Grandpa Dodds, and Aunt Kellie.  

All on the Bed

4 little boys on one big bed and the little one said, "Roll over!  Its crowded."  So they all rolled over and one fell off.

Ever since the demolition the TV has been in our bedroom.  Which means the party is in our bedroom.  The boys line up some pillows and get comfy to watch TV or play Wii.
