The Big 7!

Andrew had a great day at school for his birthday. In the morning he shopped at the Holiday Shop for his family (I was there to help guide the purchases so we did not get Sour Patch kids...). His class sang to him, his birthday was announced in the morning announcements and he shared cookies with his class in the afternoon. This was an issue with me, a couple of months ago the district decided that all food going into the school had to be bought and brought in unopened packaging. I really liked baking for his events at school and am sad I can not do this anymore...

We went to chick-fil-a for a quick dinner before his cub scout meeting to try the peppermint chocolate chip shakes....not so good. I don't know if they guy who made it put in too much peppermint or if that is the way it is suppose to taste, but it was way too strong. Almost like drinking pepto bismal with chocolate.

A Pirate Party

Andrew celebrates his 7th birthday this month. Yesterday we had a fun party for him. Six of his friends came to help him celebrate. Thank goodness we had wonderful weather (last Sunday we had squalling winds and rain!). They had a treasure hunt and decorated their own cookies and cupcakes. Andrew was up early this morning to play with his new toys.

Fun with our cousins

My Aunt and Uncle came down to Disney last week along with my cousin Katie and her family. We were able to meet up with them on Wednesday evening at Epcot and on Thursday evening at Studios. Although the week started out cold it never rained and I think they all had a good time. The lights at Studios are really pretty, that is where the shots are from.

Tiger Growl Camp Out

Brent and Andrew attended the Tiger Growl cub scout camp out this past Friday-Saturday. We finally decided on Thursday that it would be a good idea for Andrew to attend since it was a camp only for his age group and most of the kids from his Den would be there. Thankfully, Aunt Andrea bought the kids sleeping bags for Christmas so Andrew did not have to use Brent's 25 year old one. Sadly, Brent came down with a cold this week so he was off to sleep in the cold (more later on that) with a cold.

This is the only campsite that has archery, bbguns and more so we thought Andrew would really have a good time..and he did. Brent splurged and pre-paid for lunch and dinner on Saturday.

Nathan and I had some quality time together with a trip to Mc Donald's Friday night (had to go since Andrew brought home one of the new Madagascar movie animals they are giving out from Career Day at school), the gym, build-it at Lowes and Epcot on Saturday.

I noted as we left the restaurant Friday night how cold it had become so Nathan and I hurried home to a hot bath in mommies wirlpool bathtub, with bubbles of course. Seems is was 34F that night at the campout....brrrrrrrrr!!!

Same Toy...Different Food

Wow, it has been awhile since I have blogged. Since my last post mid-October we have had my parents visit for Halloween and Brent's parents and sister left just this last Thursday. We are looking forward to my cousin, her family and my aunt and uncle visiting WDW after Thanksgiving. But, talking about visitors was not the purpose of this post...as you can tell by the title.

We have noticed for the last year how different our children are in what they eat, but how you must get the them EXACT SAME thing in anything that is bought toy wise. Unless you are sticking to their current favorite colors (Andrew-yellow; Nathan-red) then the color, model, make...has to be the same or there is sure to be tears. However, with food...they could share a complete meal and not want to eat what the other has. Today I volunteered in Sunday School class where they server donuts and donut holes. Once again...Andrew eat's the doughnut and Nathan eats the doughnut hole....they would make such a great couple.
