Silliness

November passed us by in its usual blur.  Among the business, we managed to find some fun….

in forts….

making funny faces…

jumping on brothers…

and generally chilling out as we could.

The dogs just tried to ignore us.

8 is GR8!

Owen is 8!  We celebrated with some of his buddies this weekend, Monster Truck style.  We were lucky enough to get a few dry, sun-filled moments for his friends to play outside (it has been raining and grey for a week).

Wait for it...

...wait for it....

The big reveal!

Sunday we celebrated with Grammy.  He opened presents from Grammy and Aunt Ruthie.

Today he celebrated at school with puppy cupcakes, and this evening we went to Burger King for his birthday dinner.

I think 8 is off to a good start!

Dancing with Daddy, Hogwarts at Home

    Mesick's Annual Father-Daughter Dance took place this weekend.  Lucy has been counting down for days.  She even told Dad that he had to dress up.  :)

    So off they went and danced the night away... or at least Lucy ran around the gym and occasionally made Ken twirl her around.  

Before

After

While they were out, Owen, Mitchell, and Mommy stayed home and had a Harry Potter kind of evening.  We played Owen's newly acquired Lego Hogwarts game, drank Butterbeer, and later watched part of The Goblet of Fire.  All the while Owen wore his HP Quidditch robes.

I think all parties thoroughly enjoyed their evening.  :)
