Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids with some of our good friends to the pumpkin patch at Oakes Farm this weekend. Our two had a great time running through the pumpkin patch and spending the morning with Elizabeth.

Report Card Day

We are so very proud of Evie and her first wonderful report card. She has been talking about having lunch with the principal for weeks, so she was very excited that she earned it. We celebrated with a trip to Chuck E Cheese.

Upward Celebration

We took the kids to their Upward soccer celebration tonight. The kids had a great time running around with their friends playing and eating dinner together. Evie had dinner with Maddie and her parents. Even though we were 5 feet behind her this was a huge step for both of us. It is amazing how independent she is becoming. We got to a watch a video montage of the season (Phil and Andrew made it onto the video!) and the kids got soccer balls. I asked them if I could have a picture of them together and they both jumped into the pose below. A great season and great celebration!

Toy Story

I took Andrew to the Toy Story double feature while Evie was in school today. He loved it! Over 3 hours in the theater, and he made it through the whole thing. He had never seen TS2, so I think that helped keep him in his seat for so long. He just started watching the original Toy Story a couple of months ago, so it was perfect timing for us to be able to go.

Going on a trip?

Phil left this morning for a business trip, so I was getting all his stuff packed yesterday. Andrew decided to pack too. It was all very cute. After seeing the airport and planes this morning Andrew really wants to go on a trip!

Apparently these are Andrew's necessities: Buzz, bear, and the Leapster
