snow days

Well it seems like we went from summer to winter in the blink of an eye. It has hit hard this week with blizzard conditions! No school for the kids Monday or Tuesday which makes the Thanksgiving week a nice long one! We woke up to 5 ft drifts along the side of the house and I got stuck in the driveway twice before a nice neighbor cleared it off for me. Where is Marc?....Mexico! It has been hard not having him here during all this. We can only communicate through email so that makes me miss him even more. He did send me a message saying he is sunburned....ok, that hurts. Mitch and Trey trying to clear off the patio...see the big drift behind them!

Trey is in Tavaci this year which is a preforming arts group for kids. He loves it and had his first concert last weekend. Avarie was dressed up for school b-ball and I thought it was so cute they were wearing matching colors I had to capture the moment...ok, Trey is being smooth on the cellphone here...by the way, on a side note, he took an old cellphone to school last week and was devistated when it was put in "Toy Jail" by his teacher...funny kid.

Halloween Time

For Halloween Kindra and Trey had a carnival at school and went trick-or-treating Saturday with the rest of this town...Kindra as Minnie mouse, Trey as Rocky...Mitchel had a party at a friends and was Dr. Skinner. Avarie had a big group over for a pre-dance event. Her group went as The Wizard of Oz, and Avarie was Glenda the Good Witch, her date was the Wizard. They played games and ate munchies before the dance. Then they went to a Murder Mystery Dinner where one of their characters had committed the murder! Oh my! Then they hit the dance, had pictures and were off to anothers house to watch old Twilight Zone episodes! A fun night!

You gotta love the Lion. (his mom is a preschool teacher, and was so excited to make his costume)...LOL !
