November 8

E had his first basketball practice tonight! They are all so little and cute :) He had a lot of fun, except that he got hit in the face with the ball....twice! He was the only one that got hit too. He must get that from his father. He did make a basket though, and he did catch the pass that hit him in the nose, so it wasn't all bad.

Momo was mad about Ethan's stinky comment yesterday. Today we found him in Ethan's bathroom with a new Christmas soap and a message that said You Smell Like Feet!And here he is with his mini lalaloopsy's...

November 7

Spelling test day! Ethan got 2 wrong, but they were all pretty easy words, and he knew how to spell them as soon as they were marked wrong. I'm sure he will get 100% on Thursday (no school Friday). He used some of his Halloween money to buy some mini lalaloopsy dolls. If you don't know what this is, look it up, but prepared to be frightened, they are super creepy ragdolls. He is currently obsessed with them, and is planning to ask Santa for a big one. I'm hoping that the little ones will be enough and he will change his mind, because he has many dolls and none of them really get played with so I'm sure this one wouldn't be any different.

Momo brought out our stockings today, and was riding on Ethans' penguin stocking holder with a dirty sock on his head. This prompted Ethan to tell me that Momo "smells like feet because he wears the same outfit everyday, and he needs a bath". I think Momo does not appreciate that comment...we will see...

November 5 & 6

Just hung out at home this weekend with my little Rockstar ;)



We started working out our Christmas ornaments, so that some will be ready by Thanksgiving for the family that we celebrate Christmas with that weekend.

This morning Momo left secret messages with clues leading to him all over the house. Etahn had to decode them, and he found him in our downstairs bathroom. He had given it a Christmas makover - Ethan was amazed that he even changed the pictures in the frames to ones of Momo and/or Santa with E. He also gave him a snowman towel for bathtime.

November 4

We busted out the penguins because it was cold cold cold yesterday!

Cub Scouts was tonight instead of last night b/c we went on a tour of the radio station. The boys were all disappointed that there aren't people there singing the songs lol

November 2

Guess who's back....
That's right, Ethan drew Momo a magical picture last night, and now our elf friend is back. Yes, it's early, but heck, the radio station is only playing Christmas music, so we are just gonna go with it. I never know when our last year with Momo will be, so we will enjoy him while we can :)

Today he hid in Ethan's pajama drawer with a pair of elf pjs! So cute! Ethan was super excited!

November 1

Ethan is learning about Panda Bears in Leap, they all had to pick an animal to learn about and to make a diorama of. It was actually 74* out today and I sent my kid to school with a hat & gloves LOL...oops!

Happy November!

October 31

Happy Halloween!

Ethan's class had a field trip to a dairy farm/pumpkin patch. It was pretty cute, but smelly. There was a sweet little baby calf that you could pet, but E refused to touch it. We went through a cornmaze and got to pick a little pumpkin that I'm going to cook up and make some pumpkin bread out of tomorrow.
This was my group, the little girl is Ethan's girlfriend this year, Katelyn.

Notice anything .... odd ... about this scarecrow???

We carved our pumpkin when we got home...he has been wanting to make a puking one all year, so we finally did it. It turned out funny.


We ended up going to the local church fall Fest - he got to play games and get lots of candy. Then we came home and trick or treated around the block - his bag was overflowing when we got home!
