movie night

popcorn + candy + pajamas = movie night!!!

we had our 11th anniversary movie night

this year, we watched (aka: played loudly in the background) Star Wars.

as usual, once the kids were cut off from the popcorn and candy, the movie watching was over and the playing began.

but, it's a fun tradition because we love getting to hang out with our family and eat a bunch of junk!!!

turkey time

good luck finding a turkey for your thanksgiving dinner this year!

my sweet friend sent grace and carter supplies to make these cute turkey snacks!

gobble.

gobble.

gobble.

thanksgiving school feasts are always fun when you get to dress up!

the food and friends are pretty great too!

i've got a super cute helper in the kitchen!  next year, she's on her own!!!

november

grace had a program at school the other night...all these second graders are growing up so fast!!!  she's been practicing her songs at home for weeks and she did a great job!

we had family pics taken and i'm super excited to see how they turned out!

these two are becoming some big basketball fans!  of course, cuddling with pouncer doesn't hurt!!!

soccer

carter had a fun first soccer season!

he likes to score!!!

every game "the good guys played the bad guys!"

soccer is way more fun to play when you have friends on your team.

grace hadn't played soccer in a couple of years.

but, she played hard and smart!

she likes to score too!

we're so proud of her for playing her best (which was pretty good!)

a field trip

carter had his very first field trip and he got to ride a bus and everything!

they went to a local farm and played and feed animals and rode a train and hung out with friends and picked pumpkins and had a hayride and the list could go on and on!!!

i'm so glad that i got to hang out with my carter man on his first field trip!
