Trick or Treat?

Tricks and too many treats!!

Madi and Zach got their bounty and their booty of treats as "pirates"!

Darth Vader aka Jim was suppose to pass out candy but ended up scaring many of the kids and had to take off his talking mask as they were running away to get them to come back! I took the pirate twins around the 'hood and the weather was great.

And finally we are back home with more candy than we'll ever need!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

It's actually suppose to be warm here near Cleveland.....around 60 for our "trick" or "treat"! Woo-hoo! Great compared to the 2-3 inches of SNOW we received on Wednesday. It all melted already. Most of the dads in the 'hood are getting together and taking the kids out for treating tomorrow (along with their wagon of beer).....those kids will be out a while!

Below is a pic of me and some pirate.....Jim and I attended a Halloween Party this year and we were "pirates" and apparently it's a family theme.....Madi will be "Elizabeth" from Pirates of the Caribbean and Zach will be the ghost pirate "Captain Zach Sparrow".

We'll definitely have to post our kid pirate pics after Halloween!

Well, Madi and Zach just finished soccer for the fall season.....below is a pic of them with their soccer trophies....they have so many trophies I told them they were going to have give some away! Perhaps that's why they are making these faces.....no, actually this the way they are all the time.

Zach also just finished up with football for the season.....here is a video of him playing quarterback aka "Drew Brees".....nice completion! (Those Purdue alums are great:)

And here are the SAINTS listening attentively to Coach Jimmy and playing on the actual Tiger HS field! (Zach is #80) I think the temp was about 40 and here is Zach in shorts because he said he would get too sweaty in sweats!

Hope you enjoyed! I have pics of the new house that I'll post next! Have a great "trick" or "trick".....your choice :)

and here is the rest of the Lindamood family!

We love our animals and we wanted to add pics since some have not met them yet!

Here is our first baby.....Kobe.....isn't he sweet! Kobe is 11 years old and going strong! (no comments Jim.....)

Here is a great picture of Madi and Nala.....we rescued Nala in November '05 for Jim's birthday :) What a great present!

Nala loves to take pictures as you can tell.....

And last but certainly not least......"Max"!! He really didn't want to be in any pictures either :)

Max acts like a dog when he thinks he'll get something out of it. We've taught him to "sit" and to "beg"!

Soccer, Football and Soccer again!

We have been so busy settling in and running to soccer or football or soccer again.

This is a picture of Zach warming up to play goalie!

And now we have flag football.....Zach in action (he is in black for the "Saints" with the light blue under eye patches). Zach is still upset that he can't play "tackle" this year....every year he misses because we have moved so next year he is guaranteed to play!

And here is Coach Jim.......he stepped in to coach when the coach never showed at the beginning of the season.....

Madi's team was selected to play a short game during half time of the high school girls varsity soccer game (Madi is #3 in mint green....you can see the back of her and her ponytail). Go Green Clovers!
