Happy Halloween everyone! The kids had a great time going out trick-or-treating and after 2 1/2 hours, they were exhausted but had a TON of candy! Kirstyn went out a little later as well and had fun too! We now have a whole bunch of candy (and a whole bunch of freezer bags of chocolate) […]
Today Kirstyn started basketball on a Wheatland team with her good friend Ashley. She is the only one on the team that is not from the school Ashley goes to, so she doesn’t know anyone, but that will soon change. They look really good and should have a GREAT season!
Tonight we had a Thai party at the clubhouse of some good friends of ours. She is part Thai and her dad was in town and loves to cook so they took advantage of this! Brittany went over early (in her catering interests) and helped prepare the food. She is now an expert in spring
Today, we had a wonderful experience at the College of DuPage (COD). Angela in her role with Public Affairs went and gave a wonderful “Mormon’s Next Door” presentation to a comparative religion class that one of the young men in our ward is in. He helped set it up and the teacher was pretty excited.
Tonight, Zach had his 3rd Grade Musical at Gombert. He did a GREAT job and said his part wonderfully! Unfortunately, we didn’t get any good pictures (or can’t find them). We always enjoy going to these events. You just never know what you’re going to get and see. It’s funny to watch how the kids
Tonight Kirstyn had a band concert at Waubonsie High School in the auditorium. She did a wonderful job! Every time we hear the band, they keep getting better and better! Great work little lady! We love you!
Tonight Zach started basketball and had his first practice with the park district team he’s playing on. It’s a little more relaxed than the Wheatland team he plays for. There are some kids who have never played before and he feels right at home. 🙂 We also had our trunk or treat activity tonight at
Tonight Brittany had an orchestra concert at Metea. They always sound SO good when they play. She had been practicing for the difficult song they were playing and felt ready. The high school orchestra also played a couple of numbers with the middle school orchestras and that was fun to watch as well. It’s good
Today Ben went on a field trip to a pumpkin patch with his pre-school class. He had a great time and loved all the activities! His helpers took a bunch of pictures and sent them to us… Ben also got to pet a bunch of barnyard animals, play on other slides, and have a great
Zach had his first Student Council meeting since being elected class representative. He was so excited to go and really participate in Student Government. He said he can’t wait to make some changes that will be good for the school. What the little politician! 🙂 Have fun and make a difference Zach!
Tonight we had Standards Night at the church. Hopefully the kids enjoyed it. It never ceases to amaze me the difference in the written questions or responses we get from the kids prior to the event. This year, we asked all the kids to make a list of the top 10 things they are looking
