Fall Festival

The elementary school had their fall festival last week.  Ethan sang with the choir…

 

Adam was super excited about the cupcake walk—to the tune of four cupcakes…

Katie thought she was too old to go—until she heard that they were giving away goldfish as prizes…

Twenty dollars worth of game tickets later we had 2 goldfish.  We had to stop at the store on the way home to buy a fish for the third unlucky child that kept winning candy, where we bought a fish for 28 cents!!!

In honor of Halloween we have Jack, Sally, and Zero.  At least these new members of our family are quiet!

Photo tag…

Okay, I’ve been tagged.  Open your first photo folder and choose the tenth picture.  Post the picture and tell the story!

This was a canal tour in Bruges, Belgium.  It was such a fun day.  We ate pommes frites in the square, sampled Belgian chocolates on every corner, and ate the most amazing Belgian waffles.  I want to go back!

I tag Susan and Tracee.

Girl’s Weekend!

Such a great weekend.  I feel relaxed, recharged, and refreshed.  I just wish I would have remembered my camera!

Student of the Month

Katie was one of about 30 kids chosen Student of the Month in September.  She was nominated by her reading teacher for her “outstanding work and class participation”  and because she is “a positive role model and a pleasure to have in class.”  It was quite the big deal.  We were treated to a delicious hotdog lunch in the library to celebrate!

First Day of School……

Okay, I know I am a little late with these, but look how cute they are!

Katie ready for 7th grade

  

 

 

 

Ethan excited for 4th grade

Adam can’t wait to eat lunch at school!

 

 

Ethan is mortified that his mom is taking a picture in front of the school and Adam is still excited about his lunchbox.

Summer Vacation!

A week at Newport Beach with family.   Disneyland, Angels game, and relaxing on the beach.  We had so much fun!
