Weekend Fun

Saturday was the last day of football for the Colts. It was tournament day and both Todd and Evan were excited to see how the team would do. The first game was at 8:30 in the morning and it was really chilly. They won their first and second games and made it to the finals. They ended up losing the championship game, but came in second place, so that is really something to be proud of. Way to go team and Coach!

Colts Flag Football Team - Great Job!

Evan and Todd after the tournament. I don't know if Todd's expression is one of exhaustion or just relief that the season is over! It was fun, but also a lot of hard work.

On Sunday Evan and I made a trek to the pet store, which is one of his favorite places to go. He had coupons for some free fish and I needed to get some treats for Gwen. Evan put the fish in the pond, but it has been getting cooler here, so we will see how long they survive!



Last night Todd and Evan carved their annual pumpkin. I think that it turned out pretty good and they had a fun time. They will display it at Wanda's tonight, which is where Evan will do his Trick or Treating.

Boo!

Back in the Kitchen

It looks like Evan still has the cooking bug and pancakes are his specialty. Last night he told me that he couldn't wait for Saturday so that he could get up and cook. He must be getting that from Todd! I told him that he could cook, but he had to wait for me or his dad to supervise him. Before I could grab my first cup of coffee, Evan told me that he already had the batter ready and asked if he could fire up the pan.

I showed him a photo last week of someone who had made a bear face out of pancakes.

He loved the idea so much, that he decided to try it for himself. He made pancakes in different sizes; smaller for the ears and mouth and a big one for the face. We didn't have any chocolate syrup, so we came up with the idea of using chocolate pudding to make the facial details. He took the pudding from a pudding cup and spooned it into a zip lock bag. He pushed it all to the corner and clipped off the tip so that he could squeeze out his design. He had a great time in the kitchen and the pancakes were delicious!

Look Who's Cooking Now

First, Chad had the cooking bug and it seems like it caught Evan this weekend. He woke me up this morning, pancake batter mixed, all ready to start cooking. He did everything by himself and was kind enough to share some pancakes with his brother.

A Neat Gun Case

Somehow Todd acquired an old wooden ammunition box. He brought it home for Evan and thought it would be a great place for him to store his pellet guns. Evan was over the moon and couldn't wait to put it in his room.
