Thanksgiving & Other Stuff

At Thanksgiving we went to Grandpa and Grandma's house.  We took the kids for a hike at Blue Mounds State Park.



Drew put up all the Christmas decorations this year.

What's goin on?


Drew's hobby for a couple weeks was making clay minis.  This is a mini smoothie he's pretending to drink.

When dad was gone deer hunting we went and saw the Peanuts movie in 3D.

After the movie we went to eat at Jimmies in Vadnais Heights.

Drew got some trick golf balls from Tina that he painted with Flat Stanley.

He moved some of boxes around to put up in the tree house.

He also found Furry Bear at the Dollar Store, while I looked for tissue paper and glue to hang up Drew's paintings in his soon to be new art/playroom.

Suddenly Drew is showing an interest in action figures.  We watched the "The Toy Story That Was Forgot", and he had to have the action figure, "Rex."  That's not his name from the movie...the real guy's name is Reptilius Maximus.

Bingo at Centerville Elementary School.

They had lots of bingo games, popcorn and raffles.  The gym was full, and it's an annual thing.

October

In October the weather was so nice!  We had a fire, and read books around the fire!

Our tree was extra special this year!

September 2015

Starting off September, John caught a bass off the pier right in front of Tina and Gary's pier.
The guys have been busy building the tree house, along with a table that Drew painted all by himself.
We also got the pier out of the water and stained before the middle of October.  Yeah, us!
Drew finished up flag football.  John had a lot of fun coaching him, and I had fun watching the last game.  Drew, not so much.  He would have rather been home sewing.   LOL!

While John and I worked outside on the pier, Drew put up most of the Halloween decor by himself.  Unfortunately, he didn't put it all away.
In the morning before Drew goes to school we've been working on projects.  He hasn't enjoyed school so much, because he hasn't had time to work on his projects at home.  This is one of the projects that we did the last week of September.  His latest project is dictating a book to me while I write it, and his teacher, Mrs. Dandelet, is letting him sew at school during free choice.
Level Up put on their first all school assembly.  It sure was fun watching Drew sing and do all of the hand signals.


On October 2nd, we celebrated Nala's 15th birthday.  We figure she is about 88 in people years.  Well, this all depends on which site you google.  I googled this site and average the age of a Sheltie and an Eskimo.  http://www.pedigree.com/all-things-dog/dog-age-calculator/default.aspx

Drew got some new neon pajamas, just in time for us to turn on the heat.
