2021 Weekly Photos #33

 I finally had a chance to upload photos from my phone and camera to not only do my weekly post but also to share photos from the trip Darry and I took a month ago!  But first . . .here's a quick look back at our week 

Saturday - We celebrated Josh's birthday, which was on Friday,  He had a friend stay the night on Friday - they had pizza and stayed up all night!).  Josh wanted the family celebration separate so we did!! 

Josh wanted Darryl's grilled hamburgers and fruit salad so that is what we got ! (and the burgers were amazing!!) 

Then it was time for the traditional balloon popping!  They get their age in money but they have to work for it by popping balloons.  It is always fun to see what creative ways they come up with to pop them all! 

And then time for gifts!! 

"If I fits, I sits" 

My mom made Josh a new quilt to use on his bed.  It is all cats :-) 

His gift from Darryl's Mom and Step-Dad (money!)

He cake of choice was carrot cake.  I usually make one but I saw this one at Meijer and it looked too good to pass up.  (It was very tasty!)  And that's  A LOT of candles HA! 

Sunday was our normal day - church, football, and then youthgroup. 

Monday and Tuesday were normal school days - school, music lessons and the such.  

Wednesday - Darryl was home from work unexpectedly so after a morning of school we carved pumpkins!  This is the first time in years we haven't done it the day before Halloween and when we were really tired after a long day HA!  It was actually fun to carve them in the afternoon :-)  

Thursday - Another "normal" school day but I did get a photo of our pumpkins all lit up! 

(Notice Dash in the background? HA!) 

Friday - We attended our Homeschool Co-op and Nate had Tak Kwon Do.  Then we enjoyed a quiet evening at home.  

One of Nate's classes (his favorite) is Grateful Hearts.  They learn about a lot of community service and community servants.  Today the local police spoke to the class and then showed them their vehicle. 

Nate also has gym class - another favorite. 

Josh and Nate both take an outer space class.  They do a lot of different projects in this class making it a lot of fun. 

So, that was our week!
