I went to McDonald's today to get Carter a fish sandwich meal. As is custom, the teller asked what would we like to drink with that.
"Rootbeer," I answered since I was ordering for my son.
"I'm sorry. Our soda machine is not working," was the reply from the speaker box.
"Well I guess we won't be having anything to drink then will we?" I shot back. Apparently I am in a mood. It must be from the incompetence of the vet's office and my own stupidity at forgetting something at Lowe's, thus requiring another trip for me down there.
We got Carter a smoothie instead.
In the mean time enjoy some pictures from the lost files. I was going to title this post Better Late than Never, but I think I have at least one other post already titled that.

| Olivia designed her own pumpkin this year and made a sweet diagram for me to follow to make the face. Ethan did most of his himself. And I loved the smell of the pumpkin. Carter did math homework while all this was going on. |
 |
| Halloween Alaska style. Yep, we are in full snow mode here. I lost track of how many times we have done the driveway since Halloween and we are in the single digits all this week. |
 |
| Here is me loving on Buckwheat. He goes home Tuesday the 22, so I wanted a picture with him! |
 |
| Carter skiing with me up Hatchers Pass. This hill is a long slow 1 mile up but a sweet smooth 1 mile down. |
 |
| In October we rode the tram to the top of Alyeska (which is opening on November 22 for skiing BTW). I know of no other place on earth where you can sit on the chair lift and see the ocean at the same time. Beluga whales are often spotted out there in Turnagain Arm. |
 |
| Olivia was Hermione and Ethan was a Math Teacher. This is what they look like before they get their snow clothes on. |
 |
She's a pretty cute Hermione huh!
|
 |
| And my math teacher. All the kids said he was the scariest costume they saw all night! |

Looks like Buckwheat finally got promoted to couch? or was it just for the sake of a picture? :P Mark said, "it's going to be weird to have him here" - so true! crazy he'll be home in a week from tonight. He will be so sad. Your kids look so dang adorable. I love that the kids said Ethan's costume was the scariest they saw all night. HA!
Love the pics, love the snappy attitude with the guy at the drive-thru. Awesome. :-D
I love the pics of your kids and you with buckwheat. Carter is crazy for going outside in that weather in shorts! And Livs makes a super cute Hermione! Now, where are the pics of her bdy? I am sure you did something fun and cute for it.
Great post. We miss you guys!
Everyone looks great and happy up north! loving Liv's hair, so long and pretty. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Wow-I forget that there are places colder and snowier than MT! I'm so glad you get to ski now! And I love your attitude about winter. :)
Looks like your kids had alot of fun for Halloween. Also don't be too hard on yourself for being annoyed with the Mc D's cashier. After all, she could've informed you that the soda machine was broken before reciting the next line in her script: "What would you like to drink with that?"
On the other hand, it is habit. I used to feel like I had to recite the same script over and over again when I worked at Mc D's in the early 1990s.
I love the Halloween costumes! Ethan looks just like how I pictured Spencer's last math teacher, who, according to Spencer, acts like he eats, sleeps, and drinks math.
Hope you've worked past your "mood"....although anytime a fast food restaurant doesn't have soda, it will put me in a mood too :)
Hope you're doing well....love all the kiddo photos!
