Turkey Day Program

Liam had a Thanksgiving performance & feast at school on Thursday. Jim, Hadden, & I went. It was cute. EXCEPT somebody thought that candy corn would make a nice table decoration....I think Liam and his friend ate all of it. Glad I didn't have to reap the benefits of that sugar high!

Beautification of Stuart

A friend, Michelle, and did mosaics at home and then transferred them into the sidewalk (tricky process) on Friday. She did the dragonfly and I did the heart. We put them in an area that already had indentations in the sidewalks for this purpose. Ours are the nicest on the block for sure! We have permanently left our marks in Stuart!

Flag Football & Naps

Liam's(#51) last flag football game was Saturday. Hadden has been going through some terrible 2's issues and after having a breakdown, he finally conched out in my arms. Thank goodness. Liam did not like flag football until the last 2 games. Liam got to be quarterback a few times in the last 2 games so I think that is why he liked it. As you can see, the 6 yr old version of football is being played for sure. It is just too funny to watch. In the picture just above left, Liam was bustin a dance move in the middle of the field just before the ball was hiked. This is some sort of natural instinct for our kids- Xander did the same thing last week! I am glad the season is over! We have over a month of Saturdays to ourselves- Yahoo!!

Last Soccer Game for Xander

Saturday was Xander's last soccer game until season starts back up in January. He had a hat trick in this game and trophies were handed out at the end of the game. He loves playing and does pretty well too-even with bad hair.

When Jim is in Charge...

So, I have a meeting last night and Jim is home with the boys. Jim calls me as I am getting in the car to come home to tell me that Xander has cut his hair. Apparently, Xander wanted his hair shorter in the front. Jim was busy on the computer so Xander did the best he could. nice. Perfect for upcoming family photos.

Halloween

I know, I know, Halloween was a week ago. This time change has the kids all messed up. They are waking up at 4 AM!!!! We are all adjusting...anyway...Halloween...Liam was Darth Vader, Xander was Batman, and Hadden was a pirate. Jim and I were tourists. Jim ended up wearing a beard and turned into a terrorist! We went to The Weiler's and had hayride trick or treating. 2nd Annual. They had a great time and got more candy than we are allowed to eat. Gave the rest to our friend the trash. 3 kids with a sugar high is ugly.

Fall Festival @ Liam's School

I volunteered to help Liam's class with their fall fes. It was fun! They decorated a cookie, made a scarecrow, tried a ring toss, painted their own pumpkin, & played BINGO with candy corn. Good times!
