Happy Veterans Day!

Thank you to all who have, are and will serve our country, especially my father, brother and Andy's uncles and cousins.

We are free and we are blessed.

What The #*@!

Jack was invited to a birthday party this evening.
At Chuck E. Cheese.
Ugh.

Wanna know the best part?
There was a GROWN woman walking around the place in
BARE.FEET.

What the #*@!
Don't call me next week when you have Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease.

Gross.

A Saint In The Making

Monday was the Holy Day of All Saints' Day. Jack's school celebrated with an all-school mass. The kindergarteners were assigned a saint to dress up as for the day. Jack received
St. Francis of Assisi.

We caught him outside as he was walking in with his classmates. All the teachers loved his outfit, especially his birds on his shoulders and birdseed to feed them!

Here he is filing into mass. All the older kids went in and got their seats. The kindergarteners marched in and stood around the altar - all 60+ of them! So cute! There were some awesome costumes! Jack's 5th Grade Buddy, Jack, helped him with his sign. Jack wanted to make sure his costume was "fancy." Ahhh...my little Type-A in training. Love it!

You never know...this could just be our little St. Jackson in the making!
We are blessed by you, Jackson!

Lil' Hoopstars

Friday brought the first night of basketball for ALL the boys. Daddy has been waiting a LONG time to coach his boys. All the drills at home and at the gym on Saturday mornings are paying off...

I might be biased, but they are pretty good.

Who is going to be the next Michael Jordan?

That would be me.

I think he might be the next Reggie Miller.

And Brooke?

She liked cheering with Grandma and her pom-poms.

I mean REALLY cheering with her pom-poms. Cheer of choice?
Rah-Rah-Sis-Boom-Bah.
All 3 of them are chips of the ole' blocks.

Halloween Hoopla and Happy Birthday!

The Goshorn House was full of Halloween excitement this year. Batman, Robin and Super Girl could not wait to get their little hero-hands on candy!

Since both boys had parties at the same time, Daddy volunteered at Jack's and stayed for lunch. Dad at party = no pictures.

I volunteered at Will's party. They started off with a parade at the beginning of school...

Cutest Batman Ever...

And continued with a party at the end of class.

It was fun to meet all of Will's friends.
I was in charge of bringing a special book to read during the party. Will picked out a Max and Ruby Halloween book.

Everyone was enjoying the story when Brooke yelled out from across the room:

"Mom! I pooped. Change me!"
Classy.
Happy Halloween from the White-Trash Family.

Saturday night we had our annual Fall Outing with The Markarian Clan and hit up the Harrison Spooktacular.

My heroes and Angela's Animals. They are a crazy mix!

We had fun eating at BW3s ahead of time, playing games and taking a hayride.
The kids simply loved being with one another and running around. We liked watching!

Sunday the boys trick-or-treated with friends and Daddy while I took Super Girl to about 5 houses. She wanted to go home and hand out candy with Grandma and Grandpa Goshorn.

Grandpa's Little Helper

Grandma helped sift out all the peanut candy and Grandpa kept us all...

laughing. He is good at that. Today is Grandpa's Birthday - we love you Grandpa!

Hope you had a great Halloween!

Lucky Little Lady Of Leisure


While the boys opened presents for their birthdays back in September, Little Miss Brooke was not to be forgotten. She got a late birthday/early Christmas gift from Grandma Jenny and Grandpa Bill.

Doesn't every little girl need a pink kitchen?!

She LOVES her kitchen and is constantly making us cheeseburgers and Iced Tea (2 faves of Grandma Goshorn) and is nice enough to share the space with her brothers.

We have since moved the kitchen up to her bedroom and, thus far, there have been no midnight runs to the fridge to play.

Santa might be bringing her a table and chairs so she can play tea party this winter.
Another favorite activity? "Ladies of Leisure."

Yes, she says that.

Ladies of Leisure is when she and Grandma Goshorn or Mommy or Grandma Jenny take her shopping, out to lunch or any other "girls only" activity.

One lucky little (spoiled) lady.
