Our Very Jammed Packed Very Fun Weekend

Wow! What a weekend. It kicked off Friday night with Preston's Spaghetti dinner at school to benefit Make-A-Wish. Each class had a theme and all the parents donated things to be raffled off. The Preppers' theme was Let's Go to the Movies. The basket included DVDs, movie tickets, candy, Blockbuster cards, etc. Of course one class was Rainy Day Fun and they had baskets of games and toys that every kid wanted and I secretly hoped Preston did not win because my mother (obviously) has already bought half the games in the basket for Christmas. Here are some shots:

Here is Preston enjoying the spaghetti feast!

And the dude was a winner! He won the Nabisco basket full of treats. He was sooo proud!
Saturday Preston woke me up by calling "Kimberly" over the monitor. Hummmm....I really thought I would get Mom before my full name! He also asked my dad to go out to lunch, "just Papa and Preston." So my dad and Preston spent the morning together while my mom and I started some Christmas shopping for Preston. It looks to be a toy filled wonderland already. It was a rainy day so we spent time playing with Play Doh, going for a ride around the area together and reading stories. Here is Preston's ready for some football face:

This morning Preston and I made Halloween cinnamon rolls with orange colored icing. He is loving the whole baking thing. Perhaps I have a future Wolfgang Puck since Pres is loving his way around the kitchen. Today my friend from high school, Jason, who now works at the White House (how cool is that) and his awesome wife Erin-Kate and their two kids, Collin (6) and Mya who is a month older than Pres came for a visit. We met up with Sam, Jordana and Baby Maddie for the Stony Point Fashion Mall's Howl-Ween fest. This is where people dress up their dogs for Halloween. The kids thought this was just hilarious and since Preston wants a dog (which he is totally not getting until he old enough to walk it himself and clean up after it since I am still cleaning up his poopies), he really enjoyed this. His favorite was the Great Dane dressed as a horse which I still think he thinks is a horse, the pug dressed as a pig and the German Shepard which was just a German Shepard and whom Preston declared was "his doggie." The kids had a blast together. Look at how cute Mya and Preston were:

Have a great week everyone!
