More randomness

I love sleeping kids.

So much.

Crochet club! We had a yummy potluck for our first meeting. (:

We love playing on the school playground every day after school. And isn't our baby looking like such a big girl!

Chris had his last high school winter sports night. He helped distribute info to parents. Such a grown up boy!

Delaney rode to the end of pensive street one morning on our way to school. Then she was done and I got to carry the scooter and coax her along. Not bringing the stroller was a serious rookie mom move.

Addie has been feeling like she doesn't have a lot of friends at school. Even her teacher has mentioned that she's a bit of a loner. She was sad about it one day, so we decided to have a friend over after school one Friday. And dress up is always in style.

Frank's had bestie Roslyn over too. These two are so cute and goofy together! Peas in a pod!

We played and then watched inside out and ate popcorn.

It was a fun night.

Bridging ceremony

Addie's brownie troop had a fun bridging ceremony and dinner. The girls did a cute program.

Not awkward at all. (;

Autumn brought them up, turned them around and had them look in the mirror to find themselves. I'm not familiar with Girl Scout traditions, but it was cute.

Then she said the oath,

And got pinned. Don't mind her completely blank vest. Daddy got all over the patches and she's up to date now.

They each read a part.

And they're brownies! I'm so great at telling stories and describing things, especially ones that happened a few weeks ago. :/

And a bonus parade pic of Frankie. Cutie.

Veterans Day parade

We had a fabulous time at the Veterans Day parade earlier this month. There have been some years when it was freezing, but this year was sooo pretty and warm! Matt took Frankie early so she could walk with her Daisy troop. I parked at the college and met up with Darlaina and we walked to downtown together.

Delaney threw a fit about something. Shocking, right?

Love this cute small town parade!

Sometimes loud...

And sometimes just right!

We were all decked out in our patriotic gear, even down to our red chairs. (:

We love our Clydesdales!

We sat at the very start of the parade, which was fine, except when politicians came by and we didn't have a clue who they were because the announcer was down the street. No big deal though, we had a really great spot.

Daisies!

There's our girl! She's so cute!

Delaney threw a fit, so mr softie came back and took her with the crew. #wrappedaroundherfinger

As soon as they were done walking, they came back and watched the rest of the parade with us.

Love these friends and neighbors!

It was a gorgeous and fun morning. (:

And with the daddy.

Another wonderful morning in L-town. 

Wrap up

Randomness:

The classic "take a picture of me, mommy."

Every Monday Addie carries the big pencil bag back to class. (We sharpen the classes pencils every weekend) big 2nd grader with the sun in her eyes. (:

Laney had fun at the ainas one day. Adeline even says Laney now. (:

I can't remember, but whatever it was, it was adorable.

Crochet club is up and running. It's not pretty, but it's a start!

Leisa taught a thanksgiving preschool and everyone had fun.

I finished up my time with the activity girls by helping with the Pinkwood Derby. It was so cute, and as usual, Darlaina went all out.

The priests, including Chris, helped out.

Darlaina made these cute pink car cupcake toppers.

Matt mc'd for us, and did a mighty fine job, I might add.

And I'm super creative. My most used word on fb was "day." At least "love" came in a close second.

And I've been enjoying cruising the minivan while the jolly green is in the shop. I'm always happy to put miles on a car other than my old girl. (:

One step closer!

Christmas on the square

Today was another pajama day! So that makes the greater part of three days of pajama days and I could handle a few more!

It wasn't a wasted day though. Matt actually took the girls to the park after work because it was so beautiful! Seriously amazing weather the last few days, nice and warm! I addressed some Christmas cards, pta'd, and worked on churchy stuff. 'Twas a good day. 

Tonight was our 7th annual Christmas on the square. We got there at 4:30 to get a jumpstart since we figured it would be busy with the beautiful weather.

Love this cute town and cute girl!

And another cute girl waiting in the horse drawn carriage line with me. (:

We held out for the small carriage this year and it was so worth it! Super comfy and cozy, such fun!

We snacked on kettle corn and since we got in line so early, it wasn't too bad.

Cushy carriage ride!

We checked out the silent auction and picked up our candy canes.

I took about 10 of these pictures, they are so goofy!

So. Goofy.

We made ornaments.

And decided not to visit with Mrs. Claus.

We did take a sit in Mr. Claus' chair though.

We checked out the petting zoo.

And Delaney fell asleep. Have I mentioned that she still needs her naps?

We got to ride in another fire truck, and that was fun again.

Lexi sent me this text exchange between she and beau. He's so crazy.

Now I'm waiting up for Chris, who went to watch a movie at Brenna's. I try to wait up for him when he's out, but sometimes I'm so tired. Sometimes I wait up. Sometimes I fall asleep on the couch. And sometimes I just plain go to bed with chris' instructions to come wake me up. Tonight is a full on stay up night, which I think is best case scenario.
