Thanksgiving week

The boys were out of school for a week for Thanksgiving so Heath took off Tues. and Wed. as well. We had lots of appointments and errands to do here before leaving for Gran and Gramps' place for Thanksgiving. The boys got to go to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch on Tues. (Dad's idea) and thought that was pretty cool. There was lots of work for Heath to do on his parents' farm and unfortunately he ended up getting strep while we were there too. Too much sickness going around this fall. The boys enjoyed playing with their second cousins, Jake and Jessica, while their dads did farm work. Hayden's highlight of the week was putting up Gran's Christmas tree which he'd been asking to do for awhile. Carter especially liked watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Now it's back to school and the normal routine. Hayden had a particularly hard time going to MDO this morning. I think he's used to being attached to Mom's hip for a week now.

Halloween & Grammy's visit

Grammy came to spend a week with us and we had such a good time! We mostly just stuck with the daily routine of school, MDO, t-ball, etc., with a few extras thrown in there. We got to visit the Kimbell Art Museum's Maya exhibit one day when the kids were in school and then met Heath for lunch at Joe T. Garcia's. Carter and I took Mom to the Fort Worth Water Gardens--one of the few places she hasn't been in the 10 years we've lived in the metroplex. On Halloween we went to a birthday party for one of Carter's friends which included trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. Mom really enjoyed seeing the kids get dressed up. We also carved our pumpkins and Mom learned how to roast the seeds (although she didn't care for eating them too much). We enjoyed watching the Rangers play in the World Series, even though they didn't win. It was such a great week and we are sad to see Grammy go home. Love you Grammy!
