Luckily, it was an unusually warm December day to chop down the annual tannenbaum. The kids had a great time roaming around "cutting" down trees and hauling the branches around. After much deliberation, we chose a voluptuous Canaan fir tree. The tree is fragrancing the house and ready for decorating!

Badger bash
Saturday was the last Badger bash. Jonas and Niles went to Union south with Cory and Ben to jump around and create havoc. Jonas was the only one brave enough to try the velcro wall.

storytimes
The boys love to do storytime together. Jonas has a schedule of daily storytimes for Niles. We also had a donuts with dad storytime at the library which went through 96 donuts in 10 minutes. Lots of hungry young readers in Madison.

Halloween 2012
One thing is certain: each Halloween the boys figure out how to eek out more candy from unsuspecting strangers and neighbors. We had a great Halloween week going to parties, trick or treating (twice) and watching a parade with--you guessed it--more candy. Jonas stuck with his Luke Skywalker costume throughout, at least in public. Niles switched mid-celebration from being a cow to an astronaut.

Bay Beach 2012 put to bed + Midvale Fun Run!
Jonas and Niles spent a windy cool day at Bay Beach in Green Bay before season's end a few weeks ago. Little did they know they'd go back the next one for the final day of the summer season while Sara and Travis got to go to the Packers vs. Saints game at Lambeau Field. Can you really have too many pictures of kids yukking it up on the rides? Yes, but here are some more anyway.
Jonas's school, Midvale Elementary, had their yearly fun run on Friday October 5th in the afternoon. Jonas and his 4k classmates had been practicing up on the course over the past two weeks. Jonas told me he "won" every time. Later, his teacher confirmed this. Jonas was concerned with winning on the big fun run day, although he acknowledged that there were rumors of a fast boy in the afternoon session. We reminded him that it was a fun run and that everyone was there to have fun and to run as fast or slow as they wanted. Well, that just fueled his fire. Jonas did end up "winning" the 4k fun run (the bigger kids run further) and chatted it up with the other kids afterwards. Check the youtube channel if you care to watch some choppy video of him running the little race!
