1st Place in Costume Contest

Tonight at the annual City of Seneca Halloween on the Green, Kallsen and Parker won 1st place for the Most Original costume(s).
They, if you can't tell, went as Rubik's Cubes. Kallsen was the solved cube and Parker was the mixed up cube. We bought two boxes, some black spray paint and construction paper. The idea was Momma's and the costume's were put together by Dad.

Some parents asked if our kids were the Dice from last year. The boys won first place last year for their Dice costumes. Two years ago they got second place for their crayon costumes. Below is a picture from last year's contest

Happy Birthday Parker!

Parker's 4th birthday was a pretty special day. It started with his Daddy taking him out for a father son breakfast at Parker's choice of restaurant. Can you tell where we went?

After breakfast, Daddy took Parker to school. Parker decided his treat for his classmates on his birthday would be Fruit Roll-ups and cookies. After school, once everyone was home, he opened his presents from Mommy and Daddy. He also opened presents that his 5 year-old brother Kallsen had for him. Kallsen had taken some of his toys and wrapped them for Parker. It was really sweet.

After a nice dinner, the family went to Dairy Queen for birthday blizzard. Once we got home, it was a call to grandma and grandpa in Minnesota. Below are some pictures from today.

Hats Off

The boys decided that tonight was Hat Night. To make Hat Night even more special, we let Parker, who turns 4 on Monday, decide what we would do for dinner. He wanted to go to Golden Corral. A Buffet restaurant in Anderson. So a trip to Anderson it was for Parker.

This this first picture, Kallsen is sporting a hat that came with an outfit when he was just a baby. As you can see, the hat was a bit small for him...that didn't matter...he decided not to wear it into the restaurant.
Parker decided on a bit more flare with his hat. It is a bit too big for him but it really fits his personality. Parker decided he would WEAR it into the restaurant. Needless to say, he provide some entertainment for other patrons of the restaurant. Parker was very proud of his hat.
