You know there's a lot of snow when they forget about the snowplow and bring out the big guy.

Don't mess up our freshly cleaned parking spaces!

What do you do when you've been trapped inside for 3 days by snow and ice?

Paint with ice of course!

It came. It left. We survived. Snowmegeddeon 2011! Daddy left for the firehouse yesterday at 630a and got home today at noon. Not bad. We thought he wouldn't be home until dinner. After nap time we bundled up and headed out to battle the 20 inches of snow and 5 foot snow drifts around the house.

Mom, why on earth are you taping our gloves to our shirts?

The snow is taller than us!

Say hot cocoa!

I'm making a snow angel on the sidewalk because I can't get into the snow.

Me too! Me too!

This snow is heavy.

I'm heading to the backyard Mom!

Okay, maybe not.

The slide still works! But now I'm stuck.

Can we have a picnic?

Climbing Mount Stanislawski

Dad, I don't think you're getting the truck into the garage.

It wouldn't be Chicago if you didn't stick your lawn chairs in your freshly shoveled parking spot.

We love you GeGe!

Our time with you was short...

...but Mommy and Daddy will never let us forget you!

We carved our pumpkins with Daddy and Uncle Joe the other day.

I showed Uncle Joe what I wanted me pumpkin to look like.

Daddy had a Chicago Bears pumpkin and Adam had a smiley face.

Mommy's pumpkin was scared and AJ's pumpkin had silly teeth.

Aren't we the best looking race car driver and dalmatian you've ever seen?

Woof woof!

Trick or treat Uncle Joe!

After Uncle Joe's house we made a stop to see Aunt Laura and GeeGee.
Then we went on to Grammie's house. Aunt Sheesh and Uncle Marty went trick or treating with us. AJ ran from house to house and Ada did his best to keep up.

What's that you say? You want random picture of us getting ready for bed? Sure thing!

Everybody should swing at the end of the day.

Jammies anyone?
Gotta get my list ready for Santa.
Make 'em pearly white.
Good night!

We must.must.must read before bed.

Don't forget to day your prayers.
I'm working on my brushing technique.

Puppy? Check. Sippy cup? Check. Helicopter blanket? Check.

Good night!

It's October so that means the pumpkin patch!
Can you find Daddy?

Uncle Joe and Adam had fun in the maize maze.

Beep beep! Get outta the way!
Only 12 more years til my license.

Can I get these two?

I think this one is good.

One day we will both look at the camera at the same time. Don't worry Mom.
Pumpking hunting made us hungry so we stopped for lunch.

Crunchy chips. Hot salsa. Yum!

Can I get a refill on this sippy??

Taco Friday. Yum!

I got a new bike for my birthday from Aunt Maryann, Uncle Bob, Kyle, Kade and Kiera.
You're not big enough Adam. You have to be 4.

Mom, come see what I'm doing.

See, I'm drawing with chalk.
Look at me pedal!

Say cutie pie!
