Boo At The Zoo 2008

Last night we went to "Boo At The Zoo". Riverbanks Zoo does a great job for the kids, providing stops throughout the zoo for candy, a maze, spooky carousel ride, a magician and lots of lights. Elizabeth Berg and I took Emily, Braceland, and his cousin Joseph. The Kitty Cat, Indiana Jones and GI Joe had a great time! Tomorrow is the St. Joseph School carnival and Friday is a Halloween get together for families and trick or treating in our "new" neighborhood. More to come. Happy Halloween!!!!

The Corn Maze

Braceland loves adventures. I thought it would be a fun to go to a farm in Lexington that I saw advertising a corn maze quest, hayrides, etc. Off we go. There are spots in the maze which ask questions regarding government that give you answers for the sheet you are given at the beginning. Very deceiving. What they should give you are hints to let you know if you are going in the right direction or you need to turn around. I can say that it was a beautiful day!!! After one hour and thirty minutes ( who's counting), Paul was losing his "sense of adventure". They give you a flag to hold up if you are lost and need help. I wanted to do just that, but Braceland insisted we do not give up. We didn't. The last picture was when we found the exit to the maze.

USC vs LSU

Unfortunately, we did not win the game, but we had a great time tailgating before the game. I always seem to take my camera and forget to pull it out. I managed a few on Saturday. Braceland and Emily before the game. Too cute!!!

It's that time of year

Poor Braceland caught the stomach virus at school. It has been spreading like wildfire through the 4k and now I guess 5k. He came home Friday and just wasn't himself. He woke up Saturday with fever and not being able to hold anything down. Of course, with Paul and his weak stomach, it has been somewhat of a nightmare. I can't remember if I slept this weekend. The worst for Braceland was that he missed his playdate with Emily and Katie King's birthday party. Braceland told us, "he does not like this time of season". He understands enough to know, it is germ season. He said "he wished it was summer". This weekend so did I. As of about 1:00 this afternoon, he seems to have made the turn. We are hoping and praying. They are so pitiful when they are sick.

A Day Out With Thomas

On Saturday, after early morning soccer pictures, we hit the road for our Day Out With Thomas. Our ride was scheduled for 11:30. This is our 4th year in a row. We keep saying this is probably our last year, but we are here again in Spencer, NC. He still gets so excited about Thomas and still loves Sodor Island and all his trains. We listened to the Gamecocks on the radio and made it back home for the last hour of the game on TV. Great game!

St. Joseph Bobcats

Team pictures were taken this past Saturday morning at 7:45am. That was an exercise to get us all there on time. I am the only morning person in our group. Aren't they cute as can be.
