Great Amazing Race

Aidan and I ran in an obstacle course called the Great Amazing Race this weekend! My friend Tracey had found a Groupon for it, so we both signed up. She and Kaelyn were Team Fairy Magic, and Aidan and I were Team Sic 'Em Bears (I had to think of this on the fly!). It was COLD but super fun, and very family-oriented (lots of parent/kid teams)! There was a laundry basket relay, golf putting, fishing-pole casting, blindfolded baseball field maneuvering, piggy-back sponge relay, and mummy-your-partner! Aidan did awesome and I'm so proud of him :) Daniel and Avery came to cheer us on, but maybe next year they'll be their own team?

Dallas Museum of Art

Avery had a school holiday on Tuesday so I decided to take advantage of Kids Day at the DMA downtown. There were lots of things to do that encourage kids to get in touch with their artistic side! Ordinarily we would have walked right across the street to see Daniel at his office, but he was out of town...so we took advantage of the gorgeous weather and walked a few blocks to have lunch. A great day with my girl!

Grandparents' Day

This week Grandpa Steward came up from Crawford to go to Grandparents' Day with Aidan. After all the classes performed in the auditorium, they went back to their classrooms to meet the teacher, and Aidan also got a card from Papi and Grammy and Florida! After that the grandparents got to sign the kids out early for a day of fun, so Grandpa took the kids fishing at the pond near our house. We are very thankful for all of the grandparents in our life, and love them very much!!

Tiger Scouts

Aidan has just joined Cub Scouts! He goes to the school near our house and is in Tiger Scouts with other first-graders. He has already earned one belt badge for soccer, and knows the Cub Scout sign, salute, and motto. I just think he's adorable in his uniform :) Would you like to buy some popcorn??

Soccer Shots

I enrolled Avery in a local 8-week Soccer Shots class which works on soccer drills. She is still grasping some basic concepts (such as "don't touch the ball") but she's having fun! Today they had an odd number so Aidan got to join in their scrimmage. He'll probably do Upward Soccer again in the spring and I think we'll sign Avery up too...it will be her first team sport!

Jailbreak Mud Run

I did another fun mud run with my friends Tracey, Kimberly, Ginny, and Nichole this past weekend! We did the Jailbreak again and it wasn't as muddy as last year, but we still had a blast! Our shirts say "Team Super Foxy"...we found them at Target and thought they were PERFECT!

To getting dirty and having fun!!!
