This may have to be our Christmas card picture this year. No matter that it was taken via Skype on a Saturday afternoon when none of us had made it to the shower yet. No matter that Jenny the Chicken takes front and center. No matter that Spencer appears to be 18 inches tall. We all look so happy, and that's what counts. Cheese!</div>

We've seen a lot of Nebraska-style mayhem the past two weekends. Last weekend we witnessed the Zombiefest. There was supposed to be a battle on this quad, but the Resistance just ran away from the Zombies, so it wasn't exciting as it could have been. This past weekend we also went up to campus to see the Husker game antics. Husker fans are a bit more jolly than zombies, in my opinion, and they also eat better food. Both zombies and Husker fans wear a lot of red. That's my fodder for a Zombies/Huskers venn diagram.<br />

She wanted to be the Alligators, which happens to be the team name of her t-ball team a couple of years ago. So, to make things right, I call them The Green Alligator Pandas.<br />

I don't know what they voted on, but I'm going to call them The Terrific Turquoise Tarantulas. The Terrific Turquoise Tarantulas won the first game. The Green Alligator Pandas won the second game, and Eva contributed to their winning score with several awesome digs that made her mother very proud. Then, the Terrific Turquoise Tarantulas won the tie-breaking third game. Darn. But kuddos to the Tarantulas.<br />

Eva helped me make these cute, yummy little hot dog mummies. You just wrap refrigerated roll dough around the hot dogs and bake them for 15 minutes. It looks like Eva was really getting in to the Halloween spirit while she made her hot dog mummies. Frightening.<br />

Halloween got caught between two snowfalls, just at the peak of warm spell between. It was almost 70 degrees during the daytime, and Eva didn't even wear a jacket while we were trick-or-treating. Of course, I carried it around and kept asking, "Are you cold enough for your jacket yet?" because I just can't imagine why a person would refuse a jacket after the sun has gone down.<br />

I don't think they caused near as much destruction as the real Thing 1 and Thing 2. Rebecca's wig recovered really well from Rocco's attack on it. He must have thought it was a bird because he tore that thing up and left little blue feathers flying all over the basement.</div><br />

We lost a couple dozen tree branches and had to call the power company to have them detangle some from our power lines. The city has set up a tree branch drop-off site, and we're hoping to get our branches over there this weekend because they're taking up a lot of yard space. It was an exciting way to start the snow season, but I hope our trees don't suffer too much more trauma this winter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXCG9ZJuAGICd8ye6S_5X24_XkXENsG0LOT9y7i3MNxi4JkhfzS6t770BFYhVYl9636ud8bCt5dQEqDUkoJ4h1nuHeCnTy2jRNbgDIGFHzL7z-OzlyAWxr9tAc0IF806jAd2NZXw03D0e8/s1600/100_9134.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXCG9ZJuAGICd8ye6S_5X24_XkXENsG0LOT9y7i3MNxi4JkhfzS6t770BFYhVYl9636ud8bCt5dQEqDUkoJ4h1nuHeCnTy2jRNbgDIGFHzL7z-OzlyAWxr9tAc0IF806jAd2NZXw03D0e8/s320/100_9134.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

People in our neighborhood were so generous. One man went straight to his closet and just took things off the rack to donate to the Rescue Mission. One sweet old lady couldn't hear what Spencer said, which is saying something because Spencer has a loud voice, but she gave him a dollar because she could tell he was asking for something.<br />

It was almost dark when we got to the parking lot, and we had to hike in to the campground. Luckily, Ben had the handy dandy super bright flashlight Grandma gave him, so we hiked in the dark to Sourdough Springs campground. It was really neat because occasionally we came to a high point in the trail where we could see the city lights poking out from between two peaks, and out on the eastern horizon we saw lightning flashes in the clouds. We set up our tent in the dark, cooked our tin foil dinners, and roasted s'mores before we went to sleep. Rocco was totally afraid of the dark. But in the morning when he could see that we weren't on an alien planet he was back to his happy floppy self, and he got all kinds of burs in his fur to prove it. It was fun to hike back and see the scenery we'd missed the night before because we were watching the stars come out and couldn't see anything beyond the trail.<br />
