Winter

Liam completed his Iowa Hawkeyes lego helmet!  This was his souvenir from the Iowa game that he worked on for several weeks with John.

Finn is doing his "homework" while his brothers do their homework

Its only a matter of time before the snow will start to stick and won't be going anywhere.....

The boys are excited, but they might be the only ones.

Crazy Hair Day at school!  

Luke and Liam had their first Squirt game over the weekend.  Luke is #1 and Liam #17.

First game was played at Parade Ice Garden which is where Mighty Ducks 2 was filmed!

We have had our first taste of bitter cold winter temperatures this week.  Temps dipped into the negative windchill a few mornings and it felt like January rather than November.  We have also had a couple light snowfalls so it is only a matter of time before the snow doesn't melt and stays with us for longer periods of time.  John managed to get the boards up in the backyard so we can build the annual ice rink.  We ordered the tarp and now we will wait until the temperatures are right before starting to fill the rink.  

The boys are enjoying hockey thus far.  Luke and Liam had their first game as B1 Squirts and Luke said, "it was the most fun he had ever had at a hockey game!"  He really enjoyed playing goalie in his first game and he will be the first to point out that no goals were scored while he was in the net!  We won the first game with a score of 3-2.  

Aiden is also enjoying his hockey season although he won't start playing games until after Christmas. Aiden is also playing basketball and has really enjoyed it this year and continues to improve.  He is hoping Santa brings a basketball goal for the driveway this Christmas.
