Facebook recap

Every so often I like to skim back through my facebook posts to see what we've *really* been up to.  You know, like when you go on a rant about this-that-and-the-other or you post something like, you'll-never-believe-what-my-kid-just-did!  Yes, those moments that tend to never make it over to the blog.  Here's a little re-cap of some of our down time...

On my Tuesdays off, I sometimes drive down to visit my nephew, Parker.  My mom watches him Monday through Friday while Erin and Jeff are at work.  On the random days when our kids are off and one of us isn't, she also watches our kids.  Kate LOVES to spend time with Parker (and Memere too)!  Last Friday I was emptying her folder and going through her school work and I came across this: "Dear Parker, I love you.  Love Kate. To Parker. Kate"  So sweet!

A quick pic from Morning Prayer on the first day of school... one of my favorite things about the kids' school!

Few more beach pics from OIB, take 2!

Kate and Teri building sandcastles

The view from our porch - minus the house falling in the ocean, it was gorgeous!

   

 Parish Athletics night at the Railhawks - Brett & Kate each with a friend

Awesome pic of Kate from a friend's camera during a Saturday afternoon game this season

During halftime of the Railhawks game our teams got to go onto the field and scrimmage.  They were nervous playing in front of all of those people, but they did great!

Kate with her friends during a Saturday game (again, thanks to a friend's camera!)

Another quick shot from the Railhawks game

End of season picnic with Brett's 2nd/3rd grade team

Our pumpkins this year - carved by yours truly - Brett wanted pac man and Kate wanted a true jack-o-lantern

Brett & Kate (Luke & Leia) ready to go trick-or-treating

Kindergarten & 1st grade have a costume parade on Halloween.  We couldn't go since we were both at work, but Kate's friend's mom dressed up as Princess Leia and snapped a picture of them together :)  Love it!

neighborhood kids ready for some candy!

2nd Grade Saints Mass - each second grade student has to pick a saint, research it, do a written report, a poster, and a costume for their saint.  Brett chose Saint Sebastian, the patron saint of athletes.

This was Brett's Saint Sebastian poster (top) and Kate's Cuba poster (bottom)... Brett's Cuba poster is due next week.  Is it wrong that I want to re-use the same project?!

Other than Halloween and soccer and projects, we've been busy with work and school.  It's the height of flu shot season for me, so come get your flu shots and help my team reach our goal :)  We're also getting the exterior of our house painted... pics to come soon!  It is drastically different!
