Birthdays and Halloween Parties

 Last weekend Oliver's hockey game was cancelled because the Zambonie broke.  The first thing he did was go outside to play hockey.  I swear this kid cannot get enough!

 Then we went to dinner to finally celebrate Mark's birthday then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for dessert.

 The boys tried to stay up for the hockey game but clearly that did not work out!

 At Claire's field hockey game on Friday she had to choose a VIP in her life and share why that person was so special.  My girl got all choked up when it was time to for her to share but she made us this great sign!  I love this girl so much!!!!

 We also celebrated Nonna's birthday!

 Oliver had a busy week this week!  He has joined a bunch of clubs at school so he has a lot to lug back and forth to school.  

 Oliver had his halloween party!  He decided to use Claire's old costume this year and I was thrilled with the idea!

Oliver had a blast dancing with his buddies.  I love that all the boys love to dance!!!!!

Claire had her 7th grade activity night but of course, I have no pictures from her!!!  It was another crazy week full of fun! 

Hockey Tournament

A few weekends ago Oliver had a hockey tournament in Rochester!

The boys have so much fun playing mini-sticks in the hotel.  We were lucky enough this year to get a whole room to ourselves.

Us Moms ordered our special cups!

My baby doing what he loves!

Oliver played so hard that he won the "hard worker" award for one of the games!

 Us hockey mamas always have a good time too!

 They boys loved stopping out for a quick lunch.

 First time in the penalty box!!!  A little bit of cross checking!

 Then, of course, some adult shananigans.

 Little caution tape!

 Some more shenaninigans!

 A little clean up!

 And removal.

 Love hanging out with the hockey parents!!!

And the kids have an absolute blast!!!!

We always have so much fun on these tournaments! The boys played some great hockey and learned a lot.  And there were many memories made!

Catch Up

So we have been crazy busy around here!!! Since I have blogged much, I figured I would do one big post to catch us up!

Claire is loving 7th grade!!! She had a blast celebrating homecoming week! Here she is on Hawaiian day!

Oliver was hellbent on wearing a suit for picture. Like he begged and pleaded. So after much thought we figured, hey if the boy wants to wear a suit let home wear a suit!

Us grown ups had fun at the homecoming carnival!

But not as much fun as these ladies!

These girls are definitely big shots!!

Then these ladies continued the party at Frightworld!

One of my oldest friends invited us to celebrate her daughters’ 21st birthday with her and we had a blast!

Oliver has been on a big kick where he wants to “read until he falls asleep” each night. How can I say no?!

Claire supporting Oliver's hockey team!

Like I said, he wants to read every night!

Oliver started the cello last week and LOVES it!

Claire played some more field hockey and scored another goal!

I am finally starting to learn the rules!

Oliver played more hockey!

And looked adorable doing it!

Our transition into the school year has been a good one! We are all settling in nicely and getting a nice routine. Hopefully I will keep up on my blogging 

Oh and Claire made me a Memoji!!! Lol!
