Jess LOVED the TPT Parties this Year!!

Tons more pics to come of Jess at TPT, but I'm too bushed tonight to finish. Many parties, warm weather and tons of pool time made this Jessica's favorite TPT to date. Overall, I believe Jess was the Segway champion for the entire night and beat all-comers in the obstacle course. There was also plenty of rock-climbing and other games galore at our F1 Raceway party.

The Many Faces of Carroll at TPT

We had many options during TPT . . . family Carroll, serious working Carroll, disco Carroll, tired Carroll, bad hair day Carroll, Segway Carroll, rock climbing Carroll, chesty Carroll. Quite a few wardrobe changes!

A Moment in History

I told Jess she won't realize until she's older, but she was a part of history today.

Family Night Takes on a Whole New Meaning

So just before Halloween (and no, these posts are not in order), we had a family night at Jessica's school. Somehow Carroll was stupid enough, errr, lucky enough to volunteer to babysit Lucy and Charlie for an overnighter so Bren and Jerri could wing off to Vegas for a quick jaunt. Amazing kizmet that the overnighter was the same day as Jessica's school family-night show. So, off we all went to the show. The kids had an amazing time. Charlie played some manly basketball, and then worked his way into the crowd until he was hanging out with some 'older women' - first grade triplets. Go Charlie! Lucky he left his princess skirts at home.

Jess sang two songs with her class and then all three kids mostly sat and watched the show. An exhausted Carroll then took the kids home to a dinner-of-champions - McDonalds. Big shock that Adrian had to 'work late' and arrived just as the kids were all down for bed.

The next day Lucy did some gardening duty and we all had a dance party starting around 6am. It was a hugely long 24-hours, but the kids were fab and a good time was had by all.

Vampire Jessica

Jess goes all out this year as an evil Vampire. GREAT fun trick-or-treating and wearing the vamp ensemble to the school carnival day.

Halloween Preparations 2008

After the traditional big gap that starts before TPT and extends until several weeks after - we have finally returned with some Nash photos. Getting the house ready for Halloween was good fun with our standard webs, rats, giant spiders and Skeleton Steve.
