SkyPopo and Grandma Visit!

Phil's parents came out for a visit over the weekend.  We had them surprise Pete at school pick up on Thursday.  He had a blast spending time with them as did the rest of the family, but Pete especially loves his SkyPopo.  I somehow managed not to get a single picture of Ray though, so I'll have to wait until Joann posts some on facebook.  Friday we went to a local model train store and then headed to the zoo with Heather and Quinn while the boys were at school. 

Saturday we went to Fort Monroe to the Casemate Museum which is free and really cool.  Pete got to get his feet wet which still blows my mind that we aren't freezing to death in November near the water. We walked around and saw the sights.  Pete really enjoyed checking out the big guns that are there and open for people to see.  

he managed not to get soaked which was quite the accomplishment

Nora kept trying to sit underneath it.

Nora and Grandma got a little nap in the car after getting worn out that the fort.

Pete helped Aunt Heather make a cake.

Pete's School Pictures: Kindergarten Edition

That's the school picture I paid $15 for the disk for, yep.  I don't even know what that face is really.  I do like the fact I didn't have to waste my money on a bunch of prints of it though and they finally have the option to order the disk without prints.  I tried to ask him about why he didn't smile and he about broke into tears and said his teacher told him he looked handsome.  Yes you are dear, but smile next year for me, or you'll be regretting it come your senior year!

Halloween 2016: Princess and Pirate edition

Halloween was as always a blast.  It was the first time we have handed out candy and went trick or treating from our own house.  Normally we went to my parents for both activities.  Pete decided awhile ago that he wanted to be a pirate, Nora had no intentions of being anything other than a Frozen princess so we just said the pirates stole the princess because Pete wasn't happy about not having a full family theme.

I ended up with a halloween pair of lularoe leggings.  I love them.

Election Day 2016

I'm not going to get political, honestly I hate politics.  But go vote, we all headed into the polls this morning at 6 right when they opened, hoping to beat the crowd, only to discover a long line and waited for an hour to do our civic duty.  I know we could have voted early, but it just isn't the same and compared to one of our last elections for voting it was much easier since in Muncie we waited 2+ hours to vote.  Phil and I both went in together so we could both wrangle a kiddo and he didn't have to be into work until 8 since the kids in town have the day off of school.
How I feel about this election

ok a good selfie too

pete was really excited about his sticker today, mostly because I told him we could get a free donut if he behaved afterwards

Nora was not happy about this at all.  You and the rest of the country sweetheart.
