painting pumpkins picture in the paper

You may be getting tired of hearing it, but we're not. "The boys made it in the paper again!" This time it was only Carson. Poor guy has to get some kind of benefit from not being at school every day like his older brother.


He came to see Daddy at KU the day they were doing a Halloween open house. A student newspaper photographer caught him painting a pumpkin. Here is a link to the paper. You'll have to scroll down a ways, because he appeared on pg 7A. How dare they bury him like that! Don't they know our boys are front page material?!

trick or treat or tailgate


Hello everyone! Happy Halloween, and Happy Fall! We had much fun this Halloween as vampire and bat (the above pic doesn't do justice to the exquisitely crafted bat costume Mummy did for Carson). Our home computer is on the fritz, so we don't get to share pics from Conner's b-day just yet. We promise those soon!



If you follow KU football, you know that there wasn't as much to cheer for in October as there should have been. Surely better results for November! Conner and Carson don't claim to be big football fans, but they are very big tailgating fans! Playing with the inflatable Jayhawks, eating awesome food and partying with really nice people. Who could ask for more?



We live just a few blocks from the football stadium, so it is common to see us walking to the game and giving people a "Rock Chalk Jayhawk!" as we pass by. These pics were taken by some friends in the IT department of the university.



We totally bogarted this picture from the Parrack's blog. It was taken during Ben's b-day at Monkey Business. We thought it was too good not to share twice.

In the last entry, we mentioned the bug that the whole family has been sharing. It has subsided a bit, but isn't gone entirely. We know many of you are struggling with the same, and hope that it doesn't hit you too hard. Otherwise, school continues to improve for Conner and go smoothly for Carson. The big holiday season awaits!!
