Pre Halloween Costumes

We just ran out of candy on our street that looks like Mardi Gras this time of year, and my kids didn't wear these costumes.  It's just too hot!

But they did wear them to a Halloween party they went to Friday night, where they looked awesome! 

I'm so crazy impressed with my horror make-up skills, I just wish I could do some pretty ones on myself! 

Field Day Olympics

It's been such a busy weekend, so I'll start back at Friday.  

The kids had their field day Olympics. Neither Reed's Australian team or Kyle's Canadian team won the spirit award, but I still thought they were cute. 

Yes, that's Kyle in the afro, it was also crazy hair day for Red Ribbon Week. 

I just adore Kyle's teacher, she made signs that said "We Be-Leaf in Canada".  

Cracked me up. 

(Kyle is in his 'fro on the left hand side.) 

See how cute the koala hats turned out.  

You can see the France kids behind them in berets, that was cute too.  You know I love a hat!

I didn't take any pictures of the events.  I got this one from another mom. 

I also missed Kyle winning the hula-hoop contest because I was watching Reed's class who was in the gym.  (I was watching whatever class was in the gym or the shade.)

Kyle was the only boy to win the hula-hoop contest in any class.

I still miss true competitive field days with ribbons like in the good ol' days. 

Picture Day

I told Jason his school picture turned out really good this year. 

The children who don't look exactly like their father had good pictures too. 

Koalas and Kangaroos

The boys have field day on Friday.  They are having an Olympic themed field day and Reed's room is "Australia".

 Since I'm room mom, I went up today to have the class make koala and kangaroo hats.

 I figured most of the boys would be kangaroos and the girls would be koalas, but pretty much everyone wanted to be a koala bear.

I kinda just came up with these, and they look so cute!

Happy Birthday

We celebrated Granny Sherry's birthday last night at everyone's favorite, Benihana's.

It was pretty rowdy there last night since there were quite a few Homecomings this weekend.  And if you're wondering how "rowdy"...let's just say a chop stick came flying from a few tables over to land in the middle of our grill.

Flying chopsticks or not, it was still a good night.

Cool Kids

Our kids' social lives have officially become way better than ours.

Kyle and Reed got out of school at noon yesterday, so they started their weekend off early with a birthday party, a pre homecoming pizza party, and rode the bus with kids from their school to make the victory run-through line at the Memorial HS homecoming game. 

I can always find Kyle in his "Meow" hat.

 

JR went to a church youth group middle school bonfire and then spent the night with "his crew".

And Jason and I are so lame, we just went to dinner by ourselves. 

Not Losers

This is us looking entertaining ourselves at The Texans game while we watched them lose.

Except they won...after we were already home and asleep.
