What a season for this awesome group of 5th grade boys!!

Football sure is fun when you’re on the winning team!! The Raiders won won won and ended up as regular season champs with only one loss! Maxwell did his part as cornerback on defense making tackles left and right!

He also had at least 3 interceptions which were so exciting!

Of course, being on the team with some of your best buds is the best part!

The Raiders narrowly beat the Bill 7-6 in the final game of the season securing their place as Regular Season Champs!

They got a bye in the first round of the playoffs and then took on the Cowboys in the second round.

Maxwell played fantastic with some big tackles and had a huge interception that really turned the tide of the game! Woohoo!! The Raiders won and secured their spot in the Super Bowl!! There were plenty of celebrations after – including their season champ trophies!

I’m so proud of my Raider and I sure do love to watch him play!

At school the kids can apply to join the robotics team in 4th grade. Maxwell applied and got in but then the season got cancelled because of Covid. They came back this year stronger than ever though! He and Jack are on a team with two 6th graders, Thomas and Walker. They’ve been working so hard on their robot for weeks and finally had their first robotics competition last night. I had no idea what to expect but it was really cool!

Maxwell had fun seeing some friends too!

They had 4 matches where they put their robot on the field and try to move balls around to earn points. Getting a ball in the basket is big points as is getting your robot to hang. Team BLTC (bacon lettuce tomato and cheese!) got theirs to hang more than once!

I had to come and go to get Spencer and Samantha so missed it when Maxwell drove the robot with Thomas but they got 16 points when it was his turn so that’s great! After the 4 matches, BLTC was in 2nd place! Wow!

The top 8 teams went into the finals and it was intense with everyone watching but they WON!!! Thomas got their robot to hang and the other team on the field (that you compete WITH, not against) made a basket so that was huge! So proud of these boys and so were their teachers!

All of the teams from MBE…

Their big win earned them a bid to compete at the state competition in Auburn in February! Really cool! Guess we just got our President’s Day weekend plans set!

I’m so so proud of these boys!! Go Team BLTC!

Have a great weekend – we sure will! Both boys are playing in the Super Bowl! That’s right, not only does Maxwell win robotics competitions, but he wins at football too! Woohoo!

More halloween

November 4, 2021

On Halloween our neighborhood got together on the corner with a bunch of friends to pre-party before the bigger neighborhood party! We were supposed to get 12 pizzas delivered but Papa John’s decided to just not deliver our order and not let me know! Awesome. We had plenty of food though and we made it work!

We had so much fun being all dressed up with our friends!!

We made our way to the party at the Zanaty’s trick-or-treating along the way. They had a band, food truck, and face paint! You know this girl got her face painted!

Maxwell met up with a big group of friends and trick-or-treated around before heading over to Colonial Hills to meet up with an even bigger group!

Spencer hung with Penton and they made the loop to get candy by themselves.

Samantha took off with Frances and trick-or-treated the whole loop without me! The kids were very self sufficient this year and I’m not complaining one bit!

We all gathered back at the party…

Maxwell and crew finally made it back to the house about 9:15…though curfew was 9:00! Overall it was a fantastic night with perfect weather, great friends, and lots and lots of candy!! Happy Halloween!

Dr. Evil’s bald cap was spot on in my opinion! I think Maxwell was hoping we could have done a pro level makeup job to blend it all in but I can only do so much!

Love this crew!!

Boo Bash

November 1, 2021

After a fun Hallo-week the kids had Boo Bash on Friday and got to wear their costumes to school! So fun!! My cheshire cat, Dr. Evil, and Fortnite 8 ball were ready for the best day!

Are they not the cutest?!

I got up bright and early to get the bald cap on Maxwell and I’m pretty proud of it! He and Jack were quite the duo!

dr evil

Yeah Baby!! Oh Behave!

The kids all had different times that they went to the Boo Bash and of course none of them overlapped so I was there all morning with them. It was a dreary rainy cold day so they moved everything inside and under cover but it worked out fine. The kids were just so happy to have Boo Bash that they didn’t care! Samantha was the most happy to have me there, Spencer was glad I was there for a bit, Maxwell could have cared less that I was there! ha! Lots of Boo Bash pictures…
