Wii!

Quick update:

Nathan had a phone interview about his Best in Show Kong Entry.  Here is the link to the write-up:

This week will be crazy with all going on, culminating in Nathan's all-day speech and debate competition on Saturday.

Here is a summary of the past several days in pictures:

Thursday night we had a family game night of Wii Outdoor Adventure.  It was a lot of fun.  Andy came in last, though, so there was a re-match Friday.  This is a picture of Andy's "game hat" on Friday.  The flowery doll dress helped him get his game on and he finished third. lol! :)

I love that this picture shows how hard Andy is trying - can you see the sweat on his forehead?! :)

Even Joshua played and did well, winning several events (ok, so he  may have had some help). :)

Joy Anna alternated between cheerleader and pest.  She cheered when it was not Mommy's turn and she could sit in Mommy's lap; otherwise she whined and cried.

Poor Peanut had trouble seeing around Daddy during team competition.  Can you tell Joshua is scared here?!

Serious competition

Isaac in goofball mode.

The PIG's like to take the camera and take pictures and videos.  They have much to learn about photography, and even more to learn about videography.

Peanut, aka The Mad Typer, chatting with Danielle.  Since all three PIGs have learned to type, they love chatting with Danielle whenever they get the chance.

Saturday morning I had the PIG's bathe the dogs.  After the usual whining and complaining they realized that this will be the last time THEY have to bathe the dogs - Danielle will be home in 2 1/2 weeks!  Then they cheered!

The temperature was only about 63 out, so everyone was a little less than appreciative whenever the dogs shook and got them wet. :)

Taking their own picture.

Staal is not enjoying this.

Troy likes baths even less than Staal.

Not sure who took this, but this was Saturday evening's sunset.  I had thought we would get some of hurricane Sandy, but thankfully it decided to miss us.
