Just some random pictures. Here the kids are having popcorn while they watch some Popeye cartoons.
Upset that his Roller Coaster Tycoon game wasn't working, Koleman built an amusement park ride of his own.
See how proud he is?
See, random pictures...
Milena is a princess butterfly... or something. Anyway, she got a cute little outfit from Grandma Ginger.
And there were some masks for the boys.
And this is the last one.
It was over the river and through (well, near) some woods, to grandmother (Karen)'s house we went. A bunch of people were in attendance, including Kelson and Milena, who were busy decorating their Thanksgiving placemats.
Kelson was obviously proud of his work.
Uncle Jason and Aunt Beckey were in charge of the bird. Here Jason is working on the gravy. At least I hope that is supposed to be gravy.
Eli is having Aunt Daisy read him a book, while Grandma Lou and Aunt Helen look on.
It's kissing time! Kelson hits the mark...
... and so does Eli...
... but Milena is just a bit too high.
Koleman, Eli and Milena are gazing at the first snowfall. Trust me, there are snowflakes falling. It wasn't much, but it was snow!
Grandpa Lindy got the good chair, of course. :-)
This is an extreme close-up of Kelson's hand. Apparently he suddenly got camera shy.
The world famous kids' table! Grandma Karen and Aunt Beckey keep the kids in line.
Eli really liked his meal!
Koleman and cousin Greta were having some fun playing together.
Damn you, tryptophan!
Oh no!!! Horrors!!!
Just about time to leave, and the kids put on a tumbling presentation.
More tumbling.
Just before a graceful dive.
Bodies strewn about the floor. Casualties of a horrible somersault accident. Guess it's finally time to go.
On Tuesday Michelle and I got to go to a Timberwolves game. As you can see from this picture, we had good seats. This picture is right before tip-off, as Kevin Garnett and the Wolves prepare to play a team that has what appears to be a high school kid as their point guard.
It's the opening tip! And Ervin Johnson is already getting a hug from his new best friend!
Micheal Olowokandi was so upset with missing this shot that he made it his mission to get himself shot with a stun gun.
They called a charge on Mark Madsen on this play. Can you believe it? Horrible, horrible call.
Sam Cassell wonders if he'd get in trouble for knocking over a little kid.
Michelle's favorite part of the game was Air Crunch. Notice the lady trying to touch A.C. Isn't that harrassment?
Trenton Hassell shoots a jumper!
... and the crowd goes wild! (this was about as animated as the crowd got all night)
Michelle is happy, because she's a big Vladimir Radmanovic fan. Can you blame her? Her lifelong dream was seeing him play in person.
Kevin Garnett tries to incite a riot.
Kevin Garnett shoots a free throw. Unfortunately, the game was about as boring as I've ever seen, with the Wolves never showing any real intensity or desire to win. But fourth row seats are cool.
I've been asked to put more pictures of the kids up, so here they are... Here is where Kelson decided to nap. He doesn't like to sleep on his bed. At least Walter and Pooh stayed with him.
The kids are playing school. Such good pupils.
Koleman with his creations.
Eli with Koleman's creations.
Milena and Kelson are playing doctor. Or some variant known only to 1 and 3 year olds.
I'm really not sure what's going on here.
So, it's the first week of November. That means ... go outside and wash the van? Hey, you take what you can get. Kelson is in charge of the bottom of the van.
Koleman teaches Eli and Milena the proper technique.
The whole gang gets in the act!
Eli seems to be concentrating very hard to do a good job.
Kelson likes the bubbles.
Milena keeps her bucket handy.
The big kid gets to do the fun job of rinsing the car off.
