Happy Thanksgiving

We'll be stuffing our cheeks at the Chappell's again this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Death by Chocolate

If there is such a thing, I imagine it would look like this:

Lucas Lost His First Tooth!

It happened at school when he bit into his sandwich at lunch! The nurse called to say she had never seen such a tiny tooth! He seems to young to be losing teeth already, but he's not really. My baby's growing up! 

Ethan lost a tooth at school two days later. He's used to it, but I didn't even know he had a loose one. Time for Tooth Fairy to shell out some dough!

Minions

Made these Twinkie minions before we knew that Twinkies would be going out of business! The kids thought they were hilarious. Thanks, Pinterest!

Cub Scouts: Flower Mound Town Hall

We visited Flower Mound Town Hall where the City Council and Mayor meet. The boys toured the facility and each got to pretend they were the mayor.

Kids Kastle Park

This extra-large playground is part of a bigger park with a creek, soccer field, exercise stations and walking path. The photo shows about half of the playground. The kids had an absolute ball here. I think we stayed for almost four hours!

Super Lucas!

Soprano Sarah!

The kids just received their ICEE shirts in the mail the day before and they all wanted to wear them. We earned enough ICEE points to get these shirts free. Although I'm scared to think about how much we spent on ICEEs over the years in San Antonio!

Jacob

Beautiful day and the kids were good and dusty from the rocks when we left.

On the way home, we stopped at the new grocery store in town and they happened to have a Carl Edwards NASCAR on display. 

Then we found out it was a simulator! The kids had fun racing each other while dad shopped for dinner.

Lucas' favorite sponsor!

Science Night and Pumpkin Parade

The kids' school hosted the Ross Perot Museum of Nature and Science as part of their school's Science Night. They got to participate in different kinds of experiments and activities, like Lego robotics,  optical illusions, cells under the microscope, simple machines, and more. Sarah was the most interested and completed almost every station. The boys wanted to stay in the robotics room all night! 

Photo ops! Is this my future? 

On Friday, the kindergartners got to decorate pumpkins and parade through the cafeteria for the parents.  They sang a sweet song, and Lucas reprised his role as "the post" (non-singing Christmas program participant) although he did sing a tiny bit.

Our friend, Andrew, and his pumpkin.

Lucas' class and their pumpkins. See if you can pick out the pumpkins made by kids and the pumpkins made by parents ... aka Mike Wazowski.

The Bartering Begins

After trick-or-treating, the bartering begins! 

I'm not sure what this is ... or if I like it!

What do you have?
