11/29 - Kasey had her school party today. Greg made brownies for the kids and she got to celebrate with her school friends
11/26 - We had Kasey's family birthday party. The theme was Cinderella. Greg made a marble cake and then I did icing. Basically iced the sheet cake and decorated with new toy for Kasey which had Cinderella, Fairy Godmother, Carriage and her mice friends Gus Gus and Jaque. She had a fun time and really enjoyed opening her presents and hanging out with family.
11/24 - We had a different Thanksgiving. Since this was going to be potentially the last A&M vs Texas game we decided the whole family would go - all 4 of us. We drove down and headed straight for the Chicken. We had hamburgers and played dominoes for lunch. Kids and fun. Then Landon, Kasey and I went over to campus to kids yell practice. We got to see the yell leaders, the band and saw the team walk into the stadium. Then of course the kids had to play on the bounce houses and we walked around the bookstore some. Then we headed to the field. We got to see Bevo in his trailer and then got stuck while the corps walked in. We headed up the long walk to our seats, got some food to eat and settled in. The kids actually did pretty well at the game. Kasey started getting into yelling at the game and as usual having a big bucket of popcorn helped. After the game Greg and Doug headed to Dudleys for a few drinks and the kids and I went to the hotel. It was quite late when they got in bed, but they went to sleep pretty well. Kasey woke up at 6:30 the next morning, but then we went back to sleep until almost 9.
11/19 - we had to get up early to drive to the A&M vs Kansas game. We took Landon with us, with getting up early and had a long day.
11/17 - Landon brought home a little book he made at school that says I love Katelyn. It also said I went to Katelyn's Birthday and had a heart on the back. uh oh
Kasey was sent home from school today with pink eye. Poor thing. Hopefully the rest of us don't get it.
11/16 - I had Thanksgiving lunch with Landon today at his school. It was fun to have lunch then we went and bought a book from the book fair
11/14 - Landon is doing really well with his reading learning new words and reading new books each week. He's also writing a lot more. He made some clues for Kasey to find a ball. He sounded out and wrote out different clues. He's also making a book for me called my mom book. He's drawing different pictures and descriptions.
11/11 - We had a busy weekend as usual. Greg went to New York with some guy friends to celebrate a friends 40th birthday. He was sick the whole trip so didn't have a ton of fun, but got to see some stuff.
The kids and I had dinner with Grammy and Gramps on Friday, and then Saturday we went to craft fair with Grammy and then had birthday party at Chucky Cheese. The next morning we had another birthday party and pump it up. We had a fun weekend, but were tired.
11/5 - Landon had his last flag football game. His team was undefeated, and the boys seemed to have fun. We had a quick party after the game with cupcakes and trophies. Somehow Landon's broke before leaving the field, but I think it was mainly to poor making.
Landon talked some more about school some this weekend. We are doing kindness links when kids do something nice for others without being asked. This weekend Landon wanted to write the kindness link. He tried to sound out the words and write them himself. He didn't get them all right, but he did a really good job and I'm proud of the effort. Each weekend they send home book baggies where we read the books to Landon, with him (help him read it), and by him (he reads it by himself). He's doing really well learning new words and reading the books pretty well. He also talked about in the journal they have at school that Mrs Savitch read his journal to the class when he wrote about Johnny Appleseed's Birthday. Mrs Savitch was trying to find a White display for her room, and she couldn't find one so Landon made her one. She hung it on the wall.
