3rd grade parade and party

Yep, that's Logan in the Robot costume

Halloween Happenings

Since when did Halloween become a week-long celebration? Maybe it's just a Van Pelt thing? We sure were busy!!

Here is our Neverland Family Photo!! This may be the last year I manage to get a family theme. Both boys had other ideas for their costumes this year. It took a bit of bribery to get everyone in costume at the same time. sheesh!!

Don't they look great as Pan & Hook!!

Another one of our Spooky Outings was the annual Karate Carnival...this called for another costume change...Harry Potter grabbed a quick nap on the way to the studio.

Here you can see the phase one of Logan's robot costume...see how it evolved 24 hours later in the next post.

on your mark...

3rd graders get to run in the District Elementary Track Meet...a one mile fun run around Mt. Carmel...oh the excitement!!

Here are all the Painted Rockers ready to race!

Get Set!!

GO!

It was a fun race!

mini-TITANS

The Cub Scouts invaded Titan Stadium for a private, behind the scenes tour by Athletic Director Coach Crane. He did a fantastic job teaching them the ins and outs of football along with allowing them to have some fun on the field before kick off.

Another Classic Caden Moment...

...brought to you by yet another ear infection... So, Monday we were at good ol' Dr. Goldfinger's office...I believe by now, Caden has his name on one of the exam rooms, since we are there nearly every 4-6 weeks during cold season. After a quick exam to verify that I am correct on my diagnosis (I should have my MD in ear infections!), Dr. G says "I'll go ahead and send the prescription to the pharmacy". So off we go, through the parking garage, back in the car and then down the street to pick up the medicine. As we pull into the parking lot of our local CVS, Caden yells "This is not the place!" I have no clue what he is protesting about this time, so I ask what's wrong? He then goes on the explain, with his best 3 year old exasperation "This is not where we are suppose to go. This is not the farm!" Now I'm really lost...why is he talking about a farm?? Finally Caden clarifies, "Dr. Goldfinger said we need to go to Farmer Steve." get it, farmer Steve - pharmacy...maybe this ear infection is effecting his hearing? I can't make this stuff up!!
