Boo bash

October 30, 2018

It’s almost Halloween! The boys had the Boo Bash at school on Friday last week and, despite the drizzly, cold weather, had the BEST time! We didn’t go full costume for school and just went as a football and baseball player…

They had all kinds of fun games…

including a cake walk where both Maxwell and Spencer won. We got to take home a full cake and 18 cookies! Just what we needed!

Also, just so I remember, here’s what I made for the cake walk. Pans of brownies with an icing spider web and a spider! easy!

There were even rides too! So so fun!

Spencer clearly LOVED them! (I’m sure Maxwell did too but he was off with his friends and didn’t care about walking around with me! ha!)

It really was a fun day with sweet school friends!

She told me she did NOT like the taste of that little orange pumpkin and spit it out in the trash! ha! I’ve never liked them either!

Fall goodness all around!

Celebrating Spencer!!

Turning SIX is pretty awesome and this kid did it right! The celebration started the day before his birthday with his party with Mrs. Susan! She outdid herself this year with a remote controlled fire breathing dragon!! Whoa!

Picture day

October 17, 2018

Samantha had picture day at school last week. Choosing school clothes every day with her is a lesson in the art of negotiation. Sometimes I win, many times she wins. School picture day was a day I HAD to win. I used my best negotiating tools (aka bribery) and finally got her in this adorable dress…

She looked super cute and got an Icee after school and an LOL Ball from Target. Win win all around! Of course, she had to be sure and let me know how she felt about it all…
