Droge Family

Wow... Are WE ever behind!!!!

You all know our life has been crazy. And when life gets crazy, I procrastinate a lot of things. And when I procrastinate things, the work involved increases. And when the work increases, I start to feel overwhelmed. And when I feel overwhelmed, I procrastinate even more. And so, our blog has not been updated for MONTHS, in spite of all kinds of fabulous, wonderful and fun events in our family. But the idea of trying to catch up and create individual posts for each of these events makes my sleep deprived brain want to explode. So I propose a compromise: I'll post ton of pictures in one big mega-post, add some descriptions, and call it good. Then, with a clean slate, I can try to be better next time :) Deal? Deal.

We'll start with some pictures of our trip to the corn maze/pumpkin patch/hayride/farm. We had so much fun, I think it's going to become an annual tradition!

Ethan's not sure how he feels about being lost in a giant maze

They even had a mini-maze out of hay bales for the kids

What's more fun than a sandbox? A Cornbox! (plus, it's SO much easier to get off clothes, out of hair, etc)

Next, we'll move to Halloween

Ethan wasn't just a firefighter, he was a firefighter who'd seen ACTION! This tiny detail won him a prize at the ward party!

Ethan loves to build machines. Must be related to a few engineers. ;)

Ethan's Birthday

Ethan's Birthday Suit. (No, not THAT birthday suit!)

This expression was Ethan's actual reaction (not a pose) upon discovering that this box did, in fact, contain a Toy Story Scooter. Priceless.

Ethan's Preschool Christmas Concert. As far as we could tell, he refused to sing a single word while on stage, but he STILL sings these songs every night when he's supposed to be sleeping.
