The Weekend

First of all an update on the cookie lunch. Maddi reached in her lunch sack and pulled out a bag of cookies. Then she reached in to find her sandwich and pulled out more cookies. She looked inside and saw all cookies and she knew they were for bingo night. So, sweet little girl that she is....she didn't eat ANY of them! What kind of kid would have a bag of cookies and nothing else to eat and not eat any of them!?! The mom that was with her group gave Maddi her pb&j and bought her a drink. Maddi wasn't mad at me, but she also didn't think it was too funny. She said she was just surprised.

Friday night was Family Bingo night. Cade told me about 10 minutes before we left that they were supposed to wear their costumes. I checked the paper that I saved to read at some point but never did read and found out they were to wear costumes. They quickly changed into costumes and we were on our way to play bingo.
Cade took a break from playing bingo to eat one of his goodies from the bake sale.
Maddi has a mouth full of her goodies from the bake sale and paused for a picture with Aunt Shirley who is here to visit for about 12 days. When we picked her up from the airport and she got in the car Maddi said, "hi, Hot Mama" and the kids cracked up. So her new name this trip is "Hot Mama". It's hilarious, the kids will say Aunt Shirley blah, blah, blah and then correct themselves and say, I mean hot mama blah, blah, blah.
Maddi got bingo and picked her prize...a Shrek hippity hop. As you can tell, she is a cat for Halloween. Funny since you know how freaked out I am by cats. Oh well.
Cade with some of his kinder buddies. After about 15 minutes of bingo, all the kids were hopped up on sugar from the bake sale goodies and they were running around playing as the parents were playing bingo. Cade is a character from Star Wars, ob1, I think.
Saturday we carved pumpkins. The kids had a blast using the tools all by themselves. We have this strange family gene that keeps getting passed down from generation to generation that makes people stick their tongue out when they are concentrating. Check out Cade's tongue in this picture. In case you are wondering...the gene skipped me, but I passed it on to my children.
Maddi with one of her pumpkins. She carved 2 or 3 and wanted to do more, but I refused to scoop out any more seeds.
The final product. They look cool at night with the candles lit. Brett bought a book with patterns to carve. Maddi picked out a very challenging pattern for me to do. I lost my patience with it and made a simple face instead, but Shirley and Brett stuck with their patterns and made the fancy pumpkins.
