Last Day!

Today, was the last day before Christmas break and 19 days off!   THUMBS UP!!!!!

 Colt had his "Winter" Party and it was a blast.  The kids had free reign over the art room (snack), PE room (games), music room (obstacle course) and hard top outside. 

Can you say, "organized chaos"?!?!?!

Chase got to take his new remote control car in for show and tell. 

 And, we finished the day with SNOWCONES!!!!!

Christmas Chapel and Read Around the World

After many many many Christmas Chapels at Foundry, today we attended our last with our boys!   Chase has been going through a bit of separation anxiety here lately and during the last two practices, he's cried and cried for me.  So, I was a little worried that it might be a hard program, but he did GREAT!  Really Really great!  I loved watching him and had the biggest smile on my face the whole time.  After the performance we headed back to his classroom for cookies and surprises!

 And, while Chase was performing, Colt's school had a "Read Around The World" day.

TEXANS

Tonight, we went to the Texans with friends.  It was a nice night out and I got to hang out with JJ!

Santas Wonderland!

We went on our 5th trip to Santa's Wonderland and I think it was our best trip yet!  We went on  Tuesday, got there pretty close to opening (after a detour back to the house when my contact ripped in half!) and pretty much had the place to ourselves, not to mention the weather was great!  Of course there were others there but we didn't wait long at all for  anything, except he family train and that wait wasn't bad at all.  We even rode the hayride TWICE!

Chase was so excited to see Frosty.  He even stood in line for a picture but when we got up there, he refused to go up.  We thought he might actually make it up there, maybe next year!

POLAR EXPRESS DAY at School!

Road trip, christmas party, and deer hunting...OH MY!

This weekend we went up to Grandbury to visit with college friends.  We always have the best time at Doc and Peaches.  They are such great hosts! We enjoyed the weekend relaxing, hunting, shopping, cooking, and catching up.   On Friday morning, the boys went out to the lease with Zak.  Zak was beyond excited about this and so were the boys.  After going to bed pretty late the night before they got up around 5:15, bundled up, and headed out.  I got up with them to see them off and of course couldn't go back to sleep I was so excited about it all.  Zak was loaded down getting in the deer blind (with ice covered steps) and once they were up there, the boys lasted exactly two hours.  And they were COLD!  Zak said that Colt spooked a deer  and it ran off, devastating him and Chase was just flat out COLD! At one point he said, "Dad I can't feel my toes!"   But, Zak said despite the hassle of getting them up there and ready to go, the cold and not lasting as long as planned, it was quite possibly one of the BEST DAYS EVER.   I know it's a day they will all remember.  I'm sure there are many many many hunting trips in their future!   Colt's ready...Chase may need it to warm up a bit!

And, LOOK WHO MADE THE TRIP AND MET US THERE!   Snowman fell in love this weekend with Jingle Belle!
