Kindergarten Christmas Concert and a Service Project

Today Andrew (with a very serious face) performed with his buddies their Christmas concert at school. It was so cute to watch how serious Andrew was during the whole performance and then to see how goofy he was when it was all over! No and Millie came to watch the performance and were able to see Andrew's classroom afterward.
This evening we went to the Burka house to do our annual service project play date. The kiddos stuffed bags full of goodies to pass out to the homeless during the Christmas season and then stuffed their faces silly with pizza. It's always a good time. It crazy to think these kids have gotten together since they were teeny tiny babies!!

GNO and Halloween traditions

Last night I went out with 3 ladies I taught with at Lowery. Lynne, Jen, and Katy make me laugh and laugh and laugh! We were definitely the loudest and the last people to leave Alicia's last night. But, it was good for the soul!
Tonight we had the Juenkes and the Burks over for dinner. We started a Halloween play date tradition years ago getting the kids together for pumpkin shaped grilled cheese, tomato web soup, and to paint pumpkins. But, since they are now school age, we decided to invite the daddies in for some Halloween fun. The kids had a blast playing in the back yard with the cool front that blew in last night. For dessert I made triple chocolate mummy cupcakes.

Boys are so FUN!

Matthew wants to be just like Andrew. So when Andrew goes to school, Matthew wants to go to school. Luckily, today was Friday and a school day for Matthew. Unfortunately, school starts at 9:15 over an hour after Andrew leaves. So today we spent our time watching his favorite movie.....Cars!
We also hosted our first play date with Andrews new friends at St. Francis. We invited the boys this time and 6 out of the 8 boys made it. They had such a fun time playing in the backyard while the moms got to visit. It didn't hurt that the weather was really nice. So, the boys declared war with 400 water balloons and then confetti eggs! I think it was a hit. The boys had fun and I enjoyed getting to know the other boy moms in Andrew's class.
It's kinda become a weekly tradition for Wendy to bring "Jax" as Matthew calls him, over Friday afternoons to play. It was a nice night out so the boys had a good time playing together as normal.
So, both of my boys had friends over to play today....and this momma is TIRED!!!
