thanksgiving feasts 2016

Lots of feasting happened before and after thanksgiving!  Loved eating at school with my big boys and loved watching Logan sing his songs and eating a most yummy feast at his Preschool

logan's birthday day

Logan's birthday day started with him walking through his crepe paper and balloons with a big ol smile on his face.  He had waffles per request and opened his presents before Micah and Connor left for school.  He is obsessed with army men and knights right now so that is exactly what he got.  He spent the rest of the time before Preschool playing with them and has played with them every day since.

That night for his (Our) birthday dinner he chose Zaxby's which I was very thankful for and we had one of the best dinner out experiences our family has ever had.  

During dinner I did his annual birthday interview.  Here are the answers from the new 5 year old!

When I grow up I want to be an Army Man

veteran's day fieldtrip

Covington had a Veteran's Day program on the Square and the PreK classes colored pictures for the veterans and walked down to the Square to attend the ceremony and hand someone their picture.  Logan was so excited to see a real army person and wore his army jacket for the occasion.  Seeing him in his camo waving his little flag so excited was precious!  When the time came to search out one of the veterans in the crowd to hand over his picture he became super nervous and shy and made me do it.  The mission was complete!

pumpkin patch with logan

It was my 7th time on this field trip to the pumpkin patch at CFUMC when you add together the trips taken with all three boys in various grades.  The first was with Micah when he was in Pre K and here again this year during Logan's Pre K year.  He loved his experience this year and was so excited to have me along.  I love when my boys love me ;-) 

There was a story time, fun outdoor centers, and the movie about growing pumpkins which I might possibly have memorized by this point.  Here's to two more years until the final visit!

mitcham farm

Our fall was unusually full of travel meaning our annual trip to the corn maze and pumpkin patch had to be squeezed in on a Friday evening so we returned again to the little farm down the road in Oxford.  It was hot and quite unfallish in regards to weather but none seemed to mind.  We spent a fun few hours sliding on the slides and other activities.  Our favorite is their large inflatable bouncer.  Zach spent quite a little bit of time mastering a round off back tuck and nailed it eventually.  I did my annual toe touch and left it at that! 

Building traditions is one of my favorite things as a wife and mama, I love when the boys ask if we are going to do the same thing this year as we did in previous ones and look forward to repeating fun adventures.  I look forward to repeating them with these loves in my life as long as I can.
