We had a weekend of birthday celebrations with soccer and baseball sprinkled in there as well. Tyler celebrated his 7th birthday with a baseball themed party. Ballpark hotdogs, nachos, popcorn, pretzels, cotton candy and licorice for everyone to enjoy! Anna even came around as the beer lady!!! Then we headed south to Illinois to celebrate baby Jack turning one years old with a "Cubs are going to the World Series" party!!! Woo-hoo! Lots of good food and sweet treats to celebrate! Super fun and exciting weekend!!!

We are taking in every last day of Fall we can get and enjoying this beautiful weather! Bike rides, jumping in leaves and finishing up baseball and soccer games are keeping us busy! Sean had a fun playdate at the Big Backyard on Friday with his classmates at Holy Apostles. It was great to meet some of the 4k parents and see Sean in action playing with his new friends!

I also got to chaperone Alex's field trip to The Stout Farm in Germantown. The farm is self-sustaining and Farmer Jim runs it on his own. The kids learned about gardening and nutrition and had a tour of the barn and animals. We went on a hayride and Farmer Jim served up some of the best burgers for lunch with meat from his farm.
The 2nd graders worked hard on a project in social studies class leading up to the field trip called "Save, Spend, Share." They helped Mom and Dad out at home with chores and had to decide which bucket to put their chore money in every day. Together they "shared" about $350 with Farmer Jim to help with his farm and say thank you for such a fun day! Great job!!!
