We had zero plans last weekend.
Friday night : popcorn and a movie.
And we decided to have chocolate chip cookies on a Santa plate....why not?!
We went on and put up our Christmas decor. We had a couple of weekends in a row with nothing on our calendar. I love putting up Christmas, but I don't like being rushed. We are going to Oxford the Saturday after Thanksgiving, so we just bit the bullet.
(We even have a present under the tree!)
Boys Scouts had a Star Wars Rocket Launch event Saturday. We had never launched rockets before, so we decided to go. Of course, it finally got a bit cold on us but it wasn't too bad.
Mason and his best bud. They are two peas in a pod.
It was actually pretty cool. Now we know what we are doing and have two rockets....I see more launches in our future.
Brody had a birthday party right after the Boy Scouts event. It was at our local donut shop, and I was probably the most excited of them all to go. We have heard nothing but great things about their parties, and I had been hoping we would get to go to one at some point.
The owner is extremely energetic and puts on a great show. They get to go back in the kitchen and make their own donuts.
And they really do.
We would eat pizza while the dough was rising, eat cake while it was "resting" in this humidifier.
Really, the entire process of making a donut is pretty cool.
Brody really started to get into it.
After they cooked in the hot oil, the owner dunked them in chocolate and the kids decorated with sprinkles. They each got a bag with their two donuts in them to take home. So fun.
Brody and I got home to this.....
All the neighborhood kids were over playing. John wanted to watch football, so he brought our extra tv outside in the garage with the heater going.
Cold weather means soup weather.
And it was kid approved.
Brody convinced his big brother to jot down his Santa list for him.
The kid is demanding I tell ya.
We did a little shopping Sunday afternoon...
And then had basketball practice. Check out Mason's new ball shoes....he looks wayyyyyyy too big.
Brody loves our Christmas tree upstairs.
It has all of our picture and handmade ornaments.
Napkin art for last day of school before Thanksgiving break.
Mason brought home a folder with lots of work and all were 100s.
We were so proud of his hard work.
I got a phone call while I was at work the other day from the school. The nurse was worried Mason had broken his finger. She said she wouldn't be too concerned except she thought it may be at the growth plate....meaning he needed an X-ray. Mickey Mouse picked him up for us, and John took him to the doctor (ya know he has an orthopedic doctor because of his collar bone).
X-rays showed no growth plate involved but that it was broken. So they put a little splint on his finger, and he is good to go. No big deal. He even practiced basketball and did great.
(but the kid has already broken two bones and I have only broken one finger my entire life....)
I worked half a day Wednesday and then took the boys with me to run a few errands. I can't tell you the last time Brody took a nap, but man did he need one!
We need all the rest we can get now that Thanksgiving is here!
