Halloween 2018 . . .

 

 

For school on Wednesday, Kaiden dressed up like a hunter (because he wasn't allowed to wear his mask to school).  In the evening we decided to do something a little different and take the kids trick or treating (something we've never done with them - with the exception of taking them to their grandparents' houses).  We had a fun night, and it was nice because Kenny was off of work and was able to go with us too.  

Annual Trip to Pioneer Evergreen Farms . . .

Every year on Columbus Day the kids and I head to Pioneer Evergreen Farms for a day of fun.  It was a dreary humid day so we didn't end up going on the hayride, but it was still a very nice day for us.

First Day of School 2018 . . .

Every year on this day I typically reflect on how quickly time goes by.  This year is no different.  Each summer seems to go faster than the last.  Kaiden is starting a new adventure in middle school this year.  He tried to downplay how he was feeling, but he was pretty nervous.  He must've said a hundred times, 'I just hope I can find my classes'.  I tried to tell him that he will be fine and that every 5th grader would be feeling nervous on their first day, but I know that did little to calm him down.  Kiersen was just as nervous today because it's the first time she'd be riding the bus without her brother.  Thankfully she has Logan (our neighbor) which helped a bit.  She said 'my heart is beating so fast, I've never been this nervous'.  Here's to hoping the kids have a fabulous school year!

First Football Game of the Season!

Today was the first football game of the 2018 season.  Kiersen had lots of fun cheering with her friends at the smurf game.  It's funny that last year she was the smallest one on her squad, but this year she's one of the bigger girls (okay - maybe that's not entirely true, but there are quite a few girls smaller than she is).  She, of course, likes to tumble the best and loves showing off for the fans.  Kaiden is on the pony team this year.  They had a fabulous start to their season with a 12-0 win over Halifax.  Kaiden did very well and is super happy/proud to be wearing the same football number that Kenny did when he played ball . . . go #61!
