New Year's Eve with friends

Happy new Year's Eve to everyone.  Bug and I had a great time celebrating with friends this evening.  T1 and T2 came over to have a party from 4-8 pm.  We played games

watched movies,

blew on some noise makers,

danced to the Y-M-C-A song at the end of the movie,

shot off silly string outside,

and found some shooting toys inside.  It was a good night. The kids enjoyed celebrating the holiday and I liked that the night was filled with fun and friends.

 

Bug and I wish all our friends and family a wonderful new year. 

 

love and hugs,

School Christmas Party from 20Dec2013

on the last day of school for 2013, I was blessed to be helper in bug's classroom for the Christmas Party.  I made cookies (epic pinterest failure), but the kids loved them.

The  kids, busy eating Christmas snacks. 

We played a game- the kids had to race to fill a Christmas stocking with wrapped lifesaver candies.  They were divided into 3 teams.  The team bug was on came in last, but they had fun.

Then they played a game of "hot potato"- they used a stuff animal while the teacher played music.  When the music stopped, whoever had the animal in their hand was out.  This is a competitive group.

Tonight is New Year's eve.  Bug is having a few friends over for a few hours to celebrate the holiday.  Then tomorrow, we will sleep in, I will quilt some and we will finish putting away all the Christmas decorations.  Just 5 more days left of our vacation.

Love and hugs,
Deb

Christmas Pageant and second basketball game

Friday night, Bug was in the school Christmas Pageant (The Animals Christmas).  Bug played on the of the cardinals.  His best line was when the animals wake up and he has to scream "EEEK", only Bug said it as just "eeeek", just calm and cool- no inflection, no emotion, actually typical bug style.  The whole audience laughed.  Bug is now know as eeek-man.

 

Singing at the beginning, bug is over on the right side in the red hat and sweatshirt.

Bug and the other animals coming on stage to  do their parts.

Sleeping animals- when the wake up, that is when bug says his line.

saying EEK.

almost done.

Singing "we wish you a Merry Christmas"

At the Cub Scout party last night, Bug received his awards for selling popcorn, he choose this remote controlled car.

Pablo does not like this new toy at all

Barking at the toy while Bug and I laughed.

This afternoon, Bug had his second basketball game.  The boys lost 32-3.  It was a rough game, but to be expected when the boys had no practice this week (Tuesdays was cancelled due to snow).  This week, we will finally have practice again and in a gym the team has the whole court to practice on.

 

the basketball pictures are courtesy of one of Bug's classmates who sat beside and took pictures while I scored the game for the team.  She did a great job.

 

Bug and I have 5 days of school/work and then we are off for Christmas!!!!

 

Love and hugs,
