Last of the Halloween photos...

On November 1st, Ryan and I went to a Costume Party. Costumes were required and we decided to go with a "Witch and Warlock" theme... Ryan borrowed his mask from our neighbor and it was pretty darn freaky! It was fun, we had not dressed up in I don't know how long! Ryan won for scariest costume and I was just asked a few times if I had cut my hair and temporarily dyed it black... come on, I'm not that die hard!!

Aren't we just a lovely couple??

Our November...

GREAT WOLF LODGE... (Outdoor View)

Toward the beginning of November, the kids had a random Thursday and Friday off from school due to teacher prep. days... That week, Wednesday after school, we prepared to go on a little mini family vacation. Last spring, down south of Olympia, an awesome indoor water park/ lodge opened and we had been dying to try it out. We (the kids and I) got a late start and got stuck in rainy weather and terrible Seattle and Tacoma traffic. Ryan had flown to Spokane for the day for work, so he left straight from the airport to meet us down there. It was a slow-go for him as well, but... when we arrived, it was straight to the water park to check out the great, wet fun! We were not disappointed. Now, I do realize that there are far better and bigger indoor water parks in other parts of the country, but this all-emcompassing lodge and park was fantastic for all ages and when I say ALL ages, I mean it... Kelsi had about four lifeguards ask for her number! Those redheads! You can't take them anywhere, they just ask for attention ;)...

More clean, (but not so dry) fun

The older kids' favorite ride, the "Howling Tornado" sends the tubes up for their next victims!

Water, water everywhere...

They had about everything to do in water

The little kids loved standing under this one

Seth had to ease in, but then we really had to keep an eye on him!

Lovely Kelsi, how about some more original poses??

HERE WE GO AGAIN...

A picture like this says a thousand words. So, yes, we are pregnant again... we are due June 26th (although the Doctor hopes we get to the end of May, based on my history!) We are excited to get our last little one here- and yes, I did say LAST... as far as I am concerned, we will definately have done our share at multiplying and replenishing the earth ;)! I have had nasty morning sickness, which I hope diminishes by Christmas... then I will most likely have a good three months before going on bedrest for pre-term labor... and why are we doing this again? (Oh yeah, so we can have a sweet little baby that then turns into a toddler, etc.- so wait... why are we doing this again?? :)
