July Summer Fun

We went tubing in early July with our friends, who have 3 kids similar in age to our kids.  They all had a good time.

12th Birthday

Megan and Jason turned 12 on July 23.  We were not able to have their birthday parties on the same day, due to their friends not being available on the same day.  Jason had his party first.  He chose to go Miniature golfing and Go-Kart riding with his friend Trevor. 

We put candy inside and wrapped a heavy duty box with paper to be used as a piñata.  We wanted to see how many hits it would take before it broke open.  They had to hit it pretty hard several times before it broke apart.  Once it did finally break, candy flew out all over the place.  Jason also didn't want a regular cake, but instead a cookie and fudge ice cream dessert for his cake. 

Kora rode with Jesse in the double Go-Kart.  She always wanted to go faster.

Megan had her friend, Leandra over to our house a few days later for her party.  I surprised her with a Roblox cake.  Megan chose to go swimming at an outdoor pool.  We also did the piñata again, but we did a better job of keeping the candy from breaking out of the bags after it got broken open. 

Kora couldn't resist helping to blow out the candles.

Middle School Color Run

On Friday, May 26, Megan and Jason had a color run at the Middle School.  They had fun, but it took a while to get all that color off.  Megan had to shower twice to get it all out of her hair.  They also got to go to the eye clinic after school looking like that since Kora had an eye doctor appointment. 

Preschool Graduation

Kora graduated from preschool on Thursday, May 25.  She got to sing several songs and walk up on stage to shake hands with her teacher, Miss Jen.  She is very excited to go to Kindergarten next year. 

Kora has wanted a bouquet of flowers of her own for a long time. 

So we got one for her to open after her graduation.  

Snow day

First snow day of the year.  Played outside in the new snow and baked Christmas cookies.

Halloween

We went to two Halloween parties on the Sunday before Halloween.  Jason was a Jester, Megan was a Huntress and Kora was Elsa. 

This was Kora's costume number 2 that

she wore to preschool for her class party.

And this is costume number 3

that she wore trick or treating.

She received several costumes for her birthday and she couldn't decide which one she like the best.
