Halle's Bday Party...Last Sunday I took the kid's to their friend, Halle's, birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese in N. Richland Hills. The key word in this sentence is N. Richland Hills. Why you ask? Because I looked at the invitation and since in was on Grapevine Pkwy, I mistakenly thought it was the location at Grapevine Mills Mall. I was WRONG! So, my poor children arrived at the party 45 minutes late. I felt like such a tool so I bought more game tokens and we stayed later than the party to play more games.










The kids have been out of school all we for Thanksgiving break so we've managed 2 trips to Oklahoma to see Grandma and Big Daddy. We had a wonderful, relaxed Thanksgiving meal at home on Wednesday and now we are just trying to relax and get the house cleaned up so we can decorate for Christmas. Have I mentioned that cleaning is not fun? Oh well.










Merry Christmas! Can't believe it is now time to say that! Ha! Have a great week!

An Adventuresome Week...I have so much to catch up on. A week ago we had our usual Saturday baseball game of Jacob's but then that Saturday night, I got to go over to a girlfriend's house for a Girl's Night In while John and the kids had a pizza/movie night. The next day we had a Baseball Team Picnic complete with a Parents vs. Kids baseball game. We roasted hotdogs in the park and just had a fun afternoon to end the season's success. However, we weren't really finished with the season since the YMCA scheduled 2 makeup games this last weekend to make up for the ones that were rained out. But the great part about that was that Jacob's teacher at school and her husband came to one of his games this weekend. Jacob was so excited and did so great at the game! She is such a great teacher and so sweet to take time out of her weekend to come to Jacob's game.










On the 9th, the kid's were out of school for Veteran's Day so we met up with my mom to visit the Dallas Arboretum. They were having their Storybook displays set up for kids. There were 14 houses with storybook themes that the kids could go in and out of. Each house had a giant storybook set up outside telling the story of that house (ie...James and the Giant Peach, Thumbelina, Treasure Island, etc.). So cool! We got lots of great pics that I will slowly but surely get loaded on the blog for you to see how beautiful the flowers, trees, and gardens were this time of year. Just awesome! And the weather was perfect so it was really pleasant to just wander around with the kids.










Thursday night was Jacob's 3rd grade musical at school. All the kids were dressed up as pirates and they sang all kinds of pirate songs. Jacob did great and all the kids were so cute!










So, as you can see, we've had a busy week. Fill that in with school and just day to day activities and you can understand why I am just now getting a chance to post. Lots of Fun!
