We braved the bitter cold & strong wind this evening during Drew's first soccer practice of the season. Thankfully the rain held off until we were packed in our van and on our way to Grandma & Grandpa Stroud's house for the weekend. While there was just rain in the St. Louis area, back home in Republic had a couple of inches of snow the next day!

To end their unit on maps, they had a "Pirate Day" at school. Everyone dressed like pirates and they searched for the hidden treasure. When we got to his classroom, his teachers had also created a Pirate ship out of an box and large tube. What a fun day! Thankfully we were able to borrow Logan Fraker's Halloween costume for Drew to dress-up in. He was one of the best dressed Pirates in the class!

This morning Drew got Zach and his breakfast out (poptarts & cheerios) while Mommy took a shower. When she came out, this is what she found...the boys with an extra "guest" at the kitchen table eating breakfast.

Drew had his first sleep-over last night! It was a last minute thing, but they had a blast. Nikki Bethune called me the night before and asked if they could bring over Trey to spend the night because they needed to take Dylan (their youngest) to have tests run the next day to try and figure out why he was continually complaining about his head hurting and getting sick. We used the Aero Bed we borrowed from Grandpa & Grandma Stroud for Trey to sleep on in Drew's room, but he ended up being scared so Drew crawled in bed with him. They did VERY well about going right to sleep after that. They next morning they had a lot of fun playing before Drew went to school and then again when school was over. I call it a successful 1st Sleep Over!

We got our Wii back from Nintendo today! *CHEER* We had to send it away about a week & a half ago to have it repaired because it wouldn't recognize any of the game disks.

This afternoon Rebecca, Evan & Jake came by to have lunch and visit for awhile. He is getting so big! Hard to believe he is 6 months old now.
