Happy St. Nick Day

The kids had a half day today, so we decided to take the whole day off in honor of St. Nick Day. I love sleeping in! What a great relaxing day.
Callie wanted to make sure St. Nick got something from us (to eat). "You can have enething (anything) that we have." Trent suggested the Marshmallow Mateys (Generic Lucky Charms). Looks like St. Nick liked the Matey's!

Say What....?

I added a couple quotes to the "Say What?" section over there on the right.
I wish I could write down EVERYTHING my kids say.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween. The kids had two costumes this year. Authentic Witch and Wizard Hats straight from Salem, MA and mask $1 at Goodwill, all courtesy of Gran. The witch outfit was also made by my Mom for me way back when.

Just when I thought it would be the year I didn't make Trent a costume it came to me. And the "Most Creative Costume Award" goes to.....

Yeah, Trent rocked the school costume contest. I didn't think I could top last year's Lego Brick, but I think my LightSaber is right up there.

Callie went with a simple, yet super cute Butterfly being different from last year when she was, according to her, a Fairy.

Following our awesome discovery last year, of half off pumpkins on the closing day of the farm stand, we got the "giant" pumpkins this year. A bit of a seed scare. When I asked the lady at the farm if giant pumpkins still had seeds she said "yes." When we cut the tops off, at first glance there was none to be found! Whew! They were burried in the guts! So the seeds were there, and like the pumpkin, they were also giant! But they weren't as tasty as normal pumpkin seeds. So, though fun to carve, next year I will opt for the normal size pumpkins.

First Day of School 2011

As much as I tried to keep it away, the first day of school came anyway! Callie was up before her alarm and raring to go. She had her outfit picked out the night before. We dropped her school supplies off a couple days ago, but her empty backpacked was lined up by the door ready. We had time to take pictures, make a last minute cold lunch for Callie and somehow we were even early enough the kids were sitting in the car waiting for me to finish getting ready.

The second day of school we were late. Go figure!!!

Goodbye Summer

We are officially saying goodbye to summer. In this our last two days, we really took advantage of the freedom of Labor Day Weekend.
One night sleep totals:
Mom - 11.5 hours
Callie - 12.5 hours
Trent - 14 hours
Sure will miss those days! We'd have to go to bed at 6:30pm to get that on a school night! Right... hockey will just be starting at that time!
