Last week was a busy week for us. Between soccer and school activities I just couldn't find the time to write. Here's a brief recap. The kids and I made Halloween sugar cookies and decorated them. I put the decorated cookies too close together on the cookie sheet so they became one big cookie by the time they came out of the oven but they still tasted good. Jake had his class trip to go panning for gold and visit the quarry. It was a nice trip although it was very cold. After panning we went to Jamestown Park for lunch and play. Later that night Jake had his 1st tournament soccer game, which he won. The next day the kids wanted to paint the pumpkins that they got at the 
school pumpkin patch. They had a fun time. My mother and brother came into town so they were over to visit. Jarett hasn't seen the kids since July so they were all happy to see each other. We discovered the aerobic hula hoop game on the Wii. Video games are addicting. When everyone left and the kids went to bed I tried to beat the high scores in all of the games. I'm still working on it. I shouldn't play any kind of electronic games that give out daily stamps. I feel bad for the game when I miss a day so I make myself crazy trying to complete the games for the day. Ever try brain age? That's one of my addictions. Then there is my pet Stella on Facebook. God forbid I forget to feed her. I'll wake up in the middle of the night afraid she will die and I will not collect my 200 puppy points. I know I'm weird. Remember those key chain pets? Mine was alive so long it just expired. It couldn't get any older. Anyway, Sunday we carved our pumpkins. This is always a fun activity for the kids. Basically they pull all of the guts out of the pumpkin and
Jason and I carve them. Then we headed to Randleman for my dad's birthday celebration. This is the kid’s favorite place to go. They get to see Grandma and Grandpa and run around until they can't run anymore. Last night they got to sleep over which is the ultimate treat for them. Jake was a tiny bit disappointed that his sisters were staying too but they all had a good time. I had Jake's teacher conference this morning (Monday). He had an excellent report card. I can't believe the things he learns in 1st grade. This week he will start having timed math tests. He must complete 50 addition problems in 2 1/2 minutes. This is hard. I know because it is a game on Brain Age. Later on this evening we have our playgroup’s Halloween party and then Jake has his 2nd tournament game. Hopefully we won’t freeze again. Well that was our week in a nutshell.
