Snow Day!

Today was the 2nd snow storm of the season & school was cancelled!
(Yes, that snowball hit me, but AFTER I took the photo!)
The neighbor boys came over to join in on the fun & brought a sled w/them
Murph
Diva
Little Man even got some sun! It was a great day off!

Happy Halloween!

Our Ward Trunk-or-Treat was a hit with 3 doctors, a pirate, & a mummy!

For the Father/Daughter Activity for Activity Days Girls, they were supposed to go as a famous couple, but 2 doctors & a patient did just fine!



On Halloween, we went to a friend's house & had dinner, then all the kids & the guys went trick-or-treating. Our kids were a doctor, a pirate, & Commander Cody from Star Wars.

Birthday Boy!

Little Man turned 6 & really wanted to go to Chuck-E-Cheese for dinner. As parents, we hate that place, but for $20, you get food AND entertainment, plus he was so happy!
He received a few lego sets & wanted to put this one together as soon as we got home!
We did make cupcakes 3 days later but totally forgot about candles & pictures! He had a great birthday weekend, though.

Mother/Son Event

This banner hung in the lobby of our school to get everyone excited about the upcoming mother/son event!Little Man & Andrea were able to attend. When we arrived, we checked in at the lobby of the school & were given a travel itinerary & our passport. We listened to a brief video from Mr. Holmes (executive director) & we were off!

There were 7 different continents that we had to visit & do a task, road block, or detour on each one.
At the end of each task, they would stamp our passport & give us our next clue. We had dinner, dessert, & even "passport photos" (have not received yet) during the "race."
The pit stop brought us back to the lobby of the school where we were checked in by our principals. Poor Little Man really thought we were going to meet "Phil" & win a million bucks! He was a bit dissapointed that his principal gave him a carrabiner w/a compass on it as the prize.

It was such a fun activity that Andrea forgot to take pictures of us during any of the events! She did discover that Little Man is way more competitive than we thought!
