Weekend in Review

Overall nice weekend coming to a close.  This is the first time in awhile that we actually had a whole day home!  First, Saturday we started early with CCD & karate and then the kids had their first week of basketball.  Kylie's was first and she did great!!  The coach that is running the program was leading her group and commented to Jason how good she was.  He said that she actually has really good form...go figure!!  I wasn't sure Noah was going to be able to wait for his turn.  He was on the sidelines stretching and dribbling a ball anxiously waiting.  When it was his turn he did really well also.  There were only 5 first graders there this week (hopefully more going forward).  He was doing great with his dribbling and made the most baskets!  Needless to say Daddy couldn't have been more proud...and yes it looks like he is coaching yet another sport (another shocker).  The fun part for me was seeing all these kids that have gotten to know him through soccer excited that he was there :o) The rest of the day we spent at the house playing and relaxing. 

Today we were home for the whole day.  The big news today...Noah lost his first tooth!!  The poor little guy was so upset all morning because it was pretty loose and pushed forward so it hurt to eat.  He was in tears because Jason was getting chinese food for lunch and he insisted he couldn't eat it with the tooth.  So while Jason and Kylie ran out to get lunch we tried all the old fashioned ways to get it out.  In the end he loosened it enough that it was able to be pulled out.  What a huge grin afterwards!  Here is our little toothless man:

Past Week or So

Well we survived the first major snow storm for this season.  We ended up with around 17 inches and lost power from Saturday around 4:30pm until Wednesday night.  Longest outage I can remember us having, but unfortunately there are still others in the state today without power.  This was also day #6 of no school for the kids.  It's November 7th and we are already at 7 snow days.....it's going to be a long winter!!

So Monday night there was no trick or treating (too dangerous with down trees and power lines plus 800K people without power) so the kids dressed up in silly costumes and trick or treated Daddy & Mommy...one of the crazy shots:

Tuesday night Noah had karate where he officially received his 8 Gup Blue Belt:

Thursday the kids were home with me.  It was a crazy work day which left us eating lunch later than usual.  My 2 cuties decided they were going to be chefs and make their own lunches....they did pretty good too!!

Cheese sandwich & goldfish

Boston Market leftovers

Then last night we decided to head over to the fairgrounds for the town Safe Halloween Party.  They had a haunted house, costume contest, hayride and the kids favorite....cotton candy!

They are off again tomorrow for Election Day....and Friday for Veteran's Day.  Hopefully next week we can get back to the "normal" routine :o)  Good Night All!

No halloween this year on October 31

Happy Halloween!!!

Soccer or snowball fights?

This is insane!!  It is October 29th at 1:20 and we have at least an inch of snow!!  The kids were able to squeeze in about 1/2 hr of the last soccer game for the season.  Incredible pics below:

8 Gup Blue Belt

We are so proud of our little man!  He did a great job tonight at his belt test.  This is the first time he is testing with the whole school instead of within his class.  It is a long test, but he worked hard and earned his 8 Gup Blue Belt!!

End of the test waiting for his results from Master D while his 2 black belt supporters standby

Happy and tired boy!

Catchup from the past week

So with all the craziness of schedules lately I'm way behind again...sorry!  So last Friday the kids had their halloween party at school.  Here are my little pirate:

and Trixie the Halloween Fairy (from the Rainbow Magic books):

and the kids with some friends in line to trick or treat:

 

Saturday it was off to our last football game of the season.  The boys finished the season undefeated!!  8-0!

Then off to soccer where Miss Kylie scored 3 goals...winning the game for her team.  Noah had a lot of assists as well.  Didn't take a lot of shots at the game...but this is the comical one of our dynamite defense...hahaha (Kylie hates to be anything but offense):

Kylie was off to a sleepover while we went out to dinner.  On Sunday Jason manage to survive the parents football game...apprently catching a 70 yd touchdown pass as well as 4 - 5 other catches....mind you he is still sore today (Thursday).  Meanwhile the rest of us went the circus and had a blast:

Part of the LeVasseur clan joined us too:

After the circus it was home so that Jason & Noah could go to the end of the season football party and the girls went to the Flood relief fundraiser dinner for the daycare.  Needless to say we were all exhausted in the end.

Tuesday Noah's class went on their field trip.  They got to take a hayride, apple pick, play on a nice playscape and see some animals.  Weather was great and the kids had a blast.  I think 1/2 the bus slept on the way back to school:

 

Noah has his big belt test tomorrow, last week of soccer on Saturday assuming the snow stays away, Halloween party Saturday afternoon & maybe a last min apple picking/corn maze trip Sunday...Stay Tuned!!

Survived another weekend

Technically not done, but so far survived another chaotic weekend.  Unfortunately no pics to share this time, but the boys pulled out another win today.  They are now 5-0 after winning 24 to 6 today.  Noah didn't get as much playing time because he prefers to play defense and our offense was on the field ALOT.  What he did play though was good :)  Three more games and we should be done for the season..we'll see.
