A quiet week...

We had a quiet week around our house this week. David enjoyed a short school week but I am sure he will be ready to go back Monday morning. My mom took us to lunch Thursday and the park. Friday we went to NW Trek which David enjoyed a lot. It was cold outside. It took most of the afternoon to warm up. We started some of my mom's Christmas shopping and checked out the new Target store that opened by our house this week.

Today is sunny but quite chilly outside. Darell has football all afternoon. I think I might get the lawn mowed and trimmed up. The leaves are falling off the tree in the front and it's easier to mow them up then rake them. Our neighbors took a tree down in their backyard and things are a lot brighter. Now we have about the only 2 trees left. We appreciate the shade in the summer time so we would like to keep them. As long as they stay healthy then they get to stay.

Tomorrow we are going for our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. We haven't gotten a lot of family time lately with Darell's schedule so a day together will be nice.

Monday David is getting a student recognition award at school. He doesn't know yet, they surprise the students at an assembly. They let the parents know so we can attend and get pictures. He will be surprised and excited I think. We are seeing a lot of growth in him. There was a new kid in his tumbling class who is about to start the preschool program at Sunrise. I can relate to her. She is wiped out. Darell and I told her school is a very good thing. The instructor told the mom that David started the school district's preschool at the beginning of the year and how much growth she has seen in David since school has started. It's nice to hear about other's noticing David growing from school.

Hope everyone has a great week.
