Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Last week the kids were out of school on Monday for Veterans Day so I took Spencer and some of his buddies to Activate…I can be the fun mom sometimes!
Maxwell actually went to Activate with some friends too and also played bartender at his friend’s sister’s birthday party!
Samantha had a friend spend the night and also got to do a little pre-Christmas wish list making up at the tennis shop! Lots of Lululemon on her list!
Gonna be a great week!
Maxwell’s last game of the season was an exciting one at home – and they won! Now that’s the very best way to end the season!!
A great season worth celebrating!
The DB coach – Coach Robinson…
I’m so proud of my #20!
Special shout out to Samantha the super fan. Spencer somehow ended up having his own football practice every Thursday night so didn’t make it to any of Maxwell’s games but Samantha got dragged along to almost all of them! She was mostly a good sport about it – and definitely liked watching the cheerleaders!
Awesome season, Maxwell! You should be proud of yourself!
Go Spartans!
Maxwell played football for the 8th grade Spartans this year and had a really great season! He played cornerback and started every game and played the majority of every game. Pretty fantastic! He rarely let up a play on his side and had some great tackles.
Of course, Maxwell was all about the drip each week – the turf tape, the scrunch socks, the eye black – it was all perfectly thought out each week! No surprise there.
He did get injured one game – his hand got caught and the trainer was afraid his thumb was broken. They got us set up to see Dr. Ortega at Andrews next morning to get it x-rayed. Thankfully it wasn’t broken but he did get to wear a brace for two weeks.
Love all these boys.
Maxwell even got to be captain for two games which was awesome.
The Spartans didn’t win much but that didn’t really matter – what mattered was that #20 played well! Hard to beat those Thursday night lights!
I sure am proud of this kid and I sure do love to watch him play!
Go Spartans!
That’s a wrap on Bible Club for the fall! We had 6th grade boys on Tuesday mornings and 4th grade girls on Wednesday mornings. That was a lot of early trip to Chick-Fil-A for me! I did get Krispy Kreme delivered for a few of the weeks. I do love getting to see all of the kids in the grade and learn a little bit about how they all interact. The mornings are early but it’s worth it.
This morning, the bible clubs from 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th all met in our front yard and made a giant circle to say the Lord’s Prayer. Pretty neat!
Make it a great weekend!
We had a fantastic Halloween! The weather was perfect, even if a little warm. All the kids went different directions with their friends but I did manage to still get a porch pic of all three together which was all I wanted!
Samantha was a “Boss Girl” with 3 of her friends. I’m not real sure what they were supposed to be but I do know they sure were cute!
Of course Samantha’s favorite part of the costume was the fake fingernails I let her get!
Spencer was a grandpa along with Henry and he made me laugh so hard in that wig!
Maxwell was Shedeur Sanders along with a huge group of his friends. He headed over to Crestline for the parade and I didn’t see him until I picked him up at 9:30! I did manage to still get lots of pics though. Hooray!
Samantha stayed around our neighborhood bopping from house to house with her friends collecting lots of candy!
Spencer stuck around our neighborhood and Colonial Hills.
Robert and I weren’t quite sure what to do with ourselves with no kids hanging onto us but we managed to make it juuuust fine!
Nailed this photo. ha!
Overall it was a great night – everyone stayed out of trouble and followed the rules and got LOTS of candy!
Happy Halloween!!
