A Fortress and a Letter to Santa

Jacob wanted to build a fortress. Somehow we both fit inside. 

Typing a letter to Santa. He did it all himself. He looked at certain words and then typed his wish list. Jacob types like his Bumpa! 

He then got on his village to make snowflakes. 

I Work Out....

Jacob decided he wants big muscles. Today he did a workout video with his dad. I was rather impressed. When he finished, he came up to me with his arms flexed and said, "My muscle is starting to pop out."

He also had a gift for me today when I picked him up from school. He got it out of the treasure box just for me. He's setting the bar high.

Cousin Time

Cupcake making party for Ellie's birthday.

 

Pumpkin Carving Contest

We had our first pumpkin carving contest. The teams were drawn out of a hat. Everyone had a great time. 

The reading of the votes. The trophy was made out of a plunger, pumpkins, and a skull topper.

The winners!!! 

A Brave Boy

A mom is always proud of their son, but Jacob has amazed me this week. He was so brave before and after his surgery. It brought me to tears at time. 

Yesterday was the first day without any medication. He spent the evening with his cousins and they have been so good about playing gentle. Jacob will return to school on Monday. We do have instructions to keep him from P.E. and recess activities. We have our follow-up appointment Friday. 

His Kindergarten class sent him balloons & a stuffed animal. It made his day. 

Pumpkin Patch

One of our favorite places in the fall is the pumpkin patch in Arthur. We had another great visit this year. 

The sign of a great day.

Final game....

Jacob loved flag football. It may just be his favorite sport. He scored three touchdowns and pulled two flags. We're all sad to see the season end.
