Election Weekend in DC

We had an amazing adventure in Washington DC! Two days off of school and democracy in the balance seemed like a great time to show them what it all means.

Tuesday was spent checking out, hitting the National Archives, and taking in the Capitol.

Monday’s highlight was going up in the Washington monument and admiring the beautiful sunset!

We drove up Sunday and our first stop was an important one, Great Falls Park. I have lots of great memories here, it was so special to share it with my babes.

Canton and Mike have been working hard since September to produce 14 shows over three weeks of Matilda. Canton is the lead boy, Bruce, and Mike fills several roles as the escapologist and ensemble.

Due to licensing I can’t put any video but here’s a snapshot (Canton has stuffing in his shirt at the Bruce character is a big kid) So insanely proud!

Happy Halloween 🎃 2022

A flamingo, an owl, and a sick teenager 🙁

He’s been working so hard in Matilda, I think he’s worn down, hopefully nothing else.

We did our trick or treating without him, it was a hard parent moment, but the girls had a great time! Lots of compliments on their costumes and those who know them well remembered the costumes from last year. Fun times!

Happy 42nd Birthday Dad!

Happy 42 Mike! You are spending your birthday at the playhouse working on Matilda to help Canton follow his passion. You may miss the wrestling room but you opened your heart to be roped into helping the theatre community.

It has been a tough year for most, but we have made a lot of memories along the way. Thank you for your willingness to lead, support, provide, and grow. We are so thankful for you!

Happy 7th Birthday Adleigh!

Happy Birthday Peanut! We love you!

Adleigh woke up earlier than normal because she was so excited to celebrate! She loves the new flamingo tablecloth she found on the table this morning along with a new book. She was so excited to show off her new “7 years flamazing” shirt from Rhonda!

Pap sent a card with way too much, but she has been studying Ben Franklin and shouted “Yay Ben Franklin!” when she opened her card haha

She wanted pasta salad for lunch (but no onions or tomatoes or basil mama) so basically noodles with a vinaigrette 🙂 Liberty made her a France buddy and a nice card. Then they spent the afternoon playing and having fun.

Dad came home a tad early and brought home something special 🙂

After lunch it was time for a present from mom and dad…

A new 20” bike with gears! She has loved riding bikes with Liberty but the 16 inch was getting a tad too small and she was working so hard to pedal up the hills. This one is a tad too big for her but she’s a hard worker!

Time to make the cake she won’t eat

Adleigh and Liberty made a cookie cake and Adleigh piped a pumpkin to decorate!

Next, the presents from Becky and Ben, a game and a flashy new leotard for gymnastics!

Just as last year Adleigh requested chick Fila for dinner! Then, she got to FaceTime with Poppy, Grandma, and Beth. She already finished the two books from Beth and was excited to snuggle with her new flamingo.

Canton made her a sweet card and a country game. Liberty created a France themed creature for her. They gifted her a card game, a book on Paris, Racko (pap’s favorite!)and some crayola color animals.

Hopefully we can FaceTime with Rhonda and Nanny soon, hurricane Ian messed up the power situation but thankfully they missed any of the terrible damage suffered by the west of Fl.

Happy Birthday Adleigh! We love you!!
