Matthew turns SIX

We've been celebrating Matthew's birthday all week! Last Saturday was his birthday party at The Bounce Castle. Last night we got an ice cream pizza from Maggie Moo's. Tonight he wanted to go to Culver's for his birthday dinner. Two presents got wrapped in birthday paper and the rest got wrapped with the Christmas presents - bad mom. The perils of having a birthday close to Christmas. You try to keep it separate - but sometimes it doesn't always work out that way. Matthew, we are so thankful for you! You are a blessing!

The book nook

Matthew sprained his foot at karate last night - so no school today - waiting to see the doctor this afternoon. The good news is that he wanted to read in his book nook!

Our learner of the month

Matthew came home with this certificate. We are proud of the hard work that he does at school! Way to go Matthew!!

The last picture is the Liberty Bell. That is as close we cared to get considering how long the lines were. ;o)

Video games with Grandma and Grandpa!

As Matthew is learning to play Mark's old Nintendo 64 - he got to teach G'ma and G'pa how to play Mario Kart. We think they need to get a video gaming system at their home, too! ;o)

Doughnuts and pumpkins - 2013

Matthew and I had a fun time at a cider mill, Matthew was quite happy with the pumpkin he chose.
