Meg and Zach with Will

Meg's school was out Thursday and Friday. She got to do some cool activities. Thursday she saw the new LaGrange library and saw Bee Movie. That night we had Meg's Parent Teacher conference at school. It went well. Friday Meg did gymnastics in the morning and then we went to a ceramic cafe in the afternoon.

This weekend was pretty uneventful. We tried to stay pretty low-key as we're expecting some busy weekends between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sunday afternoon we spent time with Christa, Bill and Will. He sure is growing fast.

Tiny Dancers

I am getting back on the movie bandwagon and this is my latest. Here is some video from May 2005. We were having a music night and Meg and Zach were dancing up a storm. Even mom got in on the action and cut a rug!

Happy Halloween

On Wednesday Meg and Zach had halloween parties at school. Chris ran the Halloween Bingo for Meg's class. Then that night the kids trick-or treated in our neighborhood. Then went to a friends house for some pizza and trick-or-treating

Friday night Elizabeth checked out Casino Night at St. Barbara's.

On Saturday Meg went to a birthday pool party and then that night we hung out with our friends, The Nash's.

Sunday was more laid back with the kids playing with their remote tarantulas after Mass. Zach is fighting a cold, so we hung out at home while he napped.
