Wolf Howling
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01782

Some days you just have nothing much going on and haven’t taken a photo all day so you take a random photo of your bookshelf. This plastic wolf has been on the shelf forever. I think one of the kids used it for a diorama at some point and this is where it ended up.

Dad came up today to help me out and connect the kickplate heater in the bathroom. This was the last thing that we needed to do to the bathroom to complete it.

Andy’s 12th Birthday Party

Andys friends
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01781

Today we celebrated Andy’s upcoming birthday by having a few of their friends over for cake, popcorn, a movie and pizza. Andy wanted to keep things low-key this year and just have friends over. The kids had a nice time and for the most part got along together. I think poor Preston may have felt a little left out being the only kid who wasn’t at the same school. I also think he’s had his fill of public school kids. However, I hope that he had a good time.

I think that Andy had a nice time with their friends. We had Preston, Tristan, Emma and Elliot here for a couple hours. It is nice to be able to put faces with names after hearing about them so much. Andy has been very happy at their new school and it is great to see that they have found some friends.

At ABD Turkey assembly day

Before the party in the afternoon Eva and I went to ABD to help out with assembling turkey baskets for the huge donation that ABD does each year. We gather and put together so many turkey baskets for the people in need in the area. I had overslept but we made it in time to go through the line once and make a basket. I think we saw everyone we wanted to see and were seen by people, too. Just glad that we were able to participate.

pumpkin cupcakes

andy decorated their cupcakes for the party. They wanted cupcakes that looked like pumpkins so that is how they decorated them. I think the cupcakes came out great.
