End of October Recap

 Zander got his first BRIGHT award of the year for helping a teacher with her recycling one morning.

Maddox was worn out from all the birthday party fun that he fell asleep one night while he was reading a book.  I literally checked in on him about two minutes before this picture was taken and he was still reading! He partied hard to welcome #8.

Last night as a 7 year old!

Birthday fun!  Maddox got to have breakfast in bed, presents before school, Chick-fil-a lunch brought to school by daddy and donuts for his classmates at lunch and his soccer team that evening!  I think he enjoyed every bit of turning 8!

Zander worked on this 300 piece puzzle and finished it within two days of starting it.

Career Day at School.... a stay at home mom, professional cheerleader, professional soccer player and doctor were at school last Friday!

Field Trip Fun! These two girls are little teachers in Maddox's class and try to keep him straight! haha  Mrs. Morgan sent me this picture as they headed out on the school bus!

Finished a 500 piece puzzle this past weekend... mommy helped and it was fun for the three of us to work on this project while daddy had inventory at work!

Daddy came home and quickly helped carve a pumpkin so our 19 year streak could continue!

Maddox finished his soccer season!  He loved every minute of it! He scored many goals, did an awesome job as goalie and has the hustle on the field to be in every play!  I love to watch him do his thing!  Zander has two more weeks of his season left.

From soccer to church, Maddox was holding the American flag at AWANA (still in his soccer uniform).

Mommy worked from home on Tuesday this week due to a workday.  The kids enjoyed playing inside and outside while mommy knocked out tasks on the computer!

Halloween Fun! We had four families join us for dinner and trick or treating in our neighborhood.

Zander and his teacher working on fun things after end of quarter testing.  I love getting pictures from their teachers! It is a huge perk of working at the same school they are attending!

Matching some of my favorite people at work....

Dinner with friends... on a school night.... no wonder I'm worn out... but it was so much fun!

Went to the Martinsville Xfinity Race with our family last Saturday.  Since Zack had inventory, we let Zander invite his best friend, Jonathan, to join us for the day.  We all had a blast!
