A little spit with that cupcake?
A little icing goes a long way.

It's official: Molly is 4!
Molly's Montessori has a tradition of walking around the "sun" one time for every year.
Finally, a BOOSTER SEAT!!! Who knew it could bring such happiness?
A strawberry cake. Last year she requested blueberry. I guess no one has told her that cake comes in double chocolate flavor...
A gymnastics birthday party. Here's an action shot (my camera battery was almost out, so these all came out a bit odd...). We were sore the next day from dragging Charlie out of the pit so others could have their turn!Monday, October 6, 2008
Go Green! Go White!
We've got a set of season tickets so Molly and I caught the Homecoming Game. Molly especially like watching 'Party and the Big Bird (aka Iowa Hawkeye) perform. One treat a quarter kept her pretty much entertained.
Homecoming Parade
Molly, Joe, Emma and Daniel impatiently waiting for the candy, I mean the parade.
Joe and Molly hamming it up.
Friday night at the homecoming 2008 parade in downtown East Lansing. Turns out it is everyone's homecoming - so the EAst Lansing Trojans (and their Sparty look alike mascot) started the whole affair. We sat near the judges to maximize candy quantity, so we got a rundown of who everyone was. My favorite was Bob in a Raccoon Coat, who has been coming back to Homecoming every year for 35 years. Bob wasn't walkin' real straight when we saw him. Go figure. The above picture is the MSU Turf Club. We took this pic for PopPop. They're golfing on the trailer.
Oh, the Joy of Chocolate.
The Apples Don't Fall Far From the Tree
We tried Clearview Orchard's last year when Sheila and Mike visited, but they were fresh out of apples. Not a problem this year. We picked a peck (or two, I never quite got what the high school employees was telling me about the best deal...) in about 5 minutes flat. And, it is true that the apples don't fall far from the tree, which made them all the easier for Charlie to pick up and shove in our bag before we could see what one it was. It only takes one rotten one, so they say.

ESPN Sportz Center
We started the weekend with a fantabulous win by the East Lansing Bulldozers. Daniel had a genuine real-life assist. He dribbled down the sideline, passed to Connor, who scored! Indeed, we have never seen him so fired up about sports before. Well, Mike never cared that much about sports either, so maybe that explains it.
We finished the weekend with the Capital City River Run. This is the longest I've run in a very, very long time (read: many children ago). I was sore the next day, but not as sore as the day after my training run when I tripped on a crack in a sidewalk and gracefully threw my body to the grass in order to avoid hitting the sidewalk. 
MSU Marching Band
The Marching Band Practices Daily - this is us watching them practice to help MSU beat that team from Indiana...
