Some Stuff :)

Nixon really wanted to build a robot....

So he did... Built the motor...

And tada! A robot. It was a kit so he had to put it all together including attaching wires in the motor. He was pretty excited!

Tim and I went to a CCTI dinner.

Through much hard work and tutoring, reading has clicked for Nixon and now he is reading for fun!!

Simon was reading Tom Sawyer for school and Tucker decided this was a good spot to rest LOL.

Paige ran her first 5k and did great, came in 29th out of 112 people with a time of 30:53. It was called the Glow Run and raised money for diabetes. They covered them in glow paint and glow sticks and started at dusk so when they all came in it was dark and you could see them all glowing.

That is one BIG Teddy Bear!

Well, the cake says what birthday it was for me! :)

I actually was pretty sick with a nasty cold virus Nixon and I caught. So instead of blowing candles out I improvised... Only took 2 claps LOL

Oh look a drink made just for them LOL

So, all that flooding back in early October was nothing compared to last Thursday! 1 day of rain coupled with high tides flooded us like we have never seen before!

We made the mistake of trying to run to the store and couldn't even make it to town. We had to turn back the water was so deep and people stuck everywhere. We tried to come back a different route which was worse. Kinda scary! It was like driving through a river.  It was over a foot deep if not 2.

We have a good friend whose daughters are in the local plays so we always go to support them! This time her and her daughters were in it! It was a great way to kick off the holiday season. The play was "The Best Christmas Pagent Ever". They all 3 did great.

Tim is now running with Santa shorts LOL!! He is so festive, I love it!

We are so proud of Nixon. He made honor roll for first quarter! All A's and B's!

He also got a Leader award.

He was very excited and it really boosted his confidence and shows him that his hard work and the extra tutoring for reading this last year really is worth it!

And here is a funny cat picture to end this post. I shall call it box fight! Because that is what ensued right after I snapped this picture. Tucker ended up in it. He uses his large size against Piper when he really wants something. He often will just go sit on her so she will move if he decides he wants to sit where she is. They bring us much joy and entertainment!

We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
