Halloween - Trunk or Treat

Happy Halloween!!!Saturday Christ the King Lutheran Church hosted the 3rd annual Trunk or Treat party. Not being a real big fan of Halloween I am really not good a decorating the Trunk. My only idea was to hang the web material over the back and hand out candy. The guys did not think that was good but with just 15 minutes to go before the start they did not have any ideas. ADK came up with this idea. He was in the mask and bones glove and would move the bowl or touch the kids hands as they would take some candy. Got them every time. It was fun to watch. I would warn him when a very young kid would come as to not scare them to much. ADK had fun with this.
MK watch out for the hand.....It might get you.....

After seeing this one I know what we are doing next year. Going to have a tail gate party out of the truck and have hot dogs to give the kids. Will fit in with the activities that we do inside the church when the kids finish Trunk or Treating.

ELK Football

It was a cold night on Tuesday for our game against Athena Tigerscots. It had been raining most of the day and the field was muddy. Luckily the rain quit right before the game started. It did not started again until we were getting in the car to head home. Downfall is the wind was blowing about 30 miles an hour.

ELK took a hard hit right before this photo was taken. That is why the tear filled eyes.

ELK and hid best friend DB. They were both play Quaterback and Running back. Switching back and forth. DB is quick with his feet and Evan can push through just about any block with his strong legs. They are both fun to watch caring the ball.

ELK is having a very good season. He is on the JV team but has played every varsity game because they are short players. He has played just about every position there is this season. He even played QB for about 1/4 of the game last night.

Elk is a good running back and has very Strong legs. Its take a lot to take him down. He is one run that he picked up almost 15 yards.

First tackle he broke through. Second tackle he broke through.

Now there is a pile of the yellow guys trying to take him down.

Five yards later they finally blow the whistle and end the play even though Evan is still standing but the there is so many guys he is trying to move forward he can't move.

Afternoon of reading in the backyard

The boys did not have school on Friday, Oct 9, 2009. It was in service say for the teachers and end of 1st quarter. ADK made a bad decision not to read and take any AR reading tests and received a "D" in class. Needles to say Mom was not very happy and dropped the hammer. Restriction were placed upon him and he hopefully learned a valuable lesson about choices he had and the consequences. Andrew spend the day reading so that he would be ready to take AR tests Monday at school. I came home at lunch to both boys reading in the backyard in these make shift forts. It was only 50 degrees out that day. Andrew says he likes reading in the backyard with the peaceful sounds from the running creek.

ADK finished his book and was able to go hunting with dad that weekend. Mom said he would not be able to go hunting if he did not have a book finished and ready to test on come Monday morning. He read for 4 hours Thursday night and 8 hours straight on Friday. Finished his book and was able to go hunting.
