DC Pokémon Morning
Two kids and a dollhouse
Katie has been asking for a dollhouse so I reminded her she had one…so they had to pick up and make room for it. We’ll see how long they stay interested this time. Last time (after it was opened at Christmas) it lasted about a week.
I hate cleaning but I love finding these treasures.
Pokémon break at the pink pumpkins.
Walking to lunch and Pokémoning, we had to stop here. 🙂

Since Tom had the day off, we went on a few errands and then went Pokémoning and out to lunch in Occoquan.
Tom taught Katie something new today.
It was either this or have her completely in the way helping to push the cart. 🙂

Unbeknownst to me at the time, I took these photos at exactly 11:11 today.
2016 Veteran’s Day Program
The principal, Mrs. Chianetta.
South County Secondary Choir.
You can’t see him in this photo, but we saw Owen standing up this year with his sign! He was too embarrassed last year.
You can see that the marines have the fewest families in the school.
Dressed in red, white, and blue!
We were all headed to the Veteran’s Day Program at school…so we were all in red, white, and blue! (Daddy wasn’t dressed when we took the pictures, but he was in uniform.)
He likes my shoes, too.
Learning about Veteran’s Day
From the school’s Facebook page:
Halley 2nd Graders are buzzing this morning, thanks to some very special visitors at school today. Our students are learning about Veterans Day, and today, several Hornet staff and family members shared their experiences with us about what it means to serve in the military. We learned so much, and we are looking forward to commemorating all of our nation’s currently serving military and veterans in our ceremony tomorrow! Thank you, Ms. Demers, for these pictures!
Can you find Owen?
How about now? 🙂
Katie is 4 years 4 months old today!

It was a chilly day so I had Katie put leg warmers on for ballet. We got to her class and her teacher commented on them.
Katie: Yep, I’ve got my warm leggers on.
A single deer ran across the road. Owen wondered aloud if he was alone because he didn’t have a family.
Katie: Maybe if we were deer we could be his family.
We’re listening to Christmas music.
Owen: Katie, do you like Christmas?
Katie: I do. And I like bagels, too.
Shopping at Costco:
Katie: Mama, when we’re done checking out I want to sit on that tractor.
Look at that face.
Kids at play after ballet.
Since it was really nice out, we went to the train playground after ballet.
“Look! I’m carrying her like a princess!”
“Look what I learned today!”

Owen picked his PJs and next I saw them, she had hers on, too. I’m glad they can still make me smile after being little poops all day.
They were good while I was shopping so they get Noodles.
Plus I had a B1G1 coupon. 🙂
Spaghetti face is a bit easier to see than her typical macaroni and cheese messy face.
“Mama! Take another picture!”
A leaf as big as her head!
If Katie wasn’t a blonde.
Kids making faces on each other in the pool
Look what happened three years ago today…and today (without me having a clue).
Accidental all-beige-y dinner.
Dammit. I did it again. On a yellow plate even. 🙂
Siblings in the leaves.
The light was great and I loved the leaves so I made them sit for a picture. They were perfect…one shot and done.
Chasin’ Tales
Soccer season is done!
Pizza and cupcakes after the game!
It’s very hard to hear through the wind, but the gist was the coach said Owen had the most improved footwork of any player on the team! He actually told us before that Owen was the most improved player—he actually listens and pays attention!
Goofy kids.
He took his shirt off for some reason so she had to follow suit. Then this happened.
You gotta love it when you can battle a Pokémon gym at dinner.
Still trying to fit in the box.
Here, this is more comfy. 🙂
