Cookies! Hot Chocolate!

It was a beautiful Fall Saturday morning and a lot was going on.  My kids were trying to raise money for the Gabriel Project (a charity that helps raise money for pregnant women in need) and we all came up with an idea of selling hot chocolate and cookies outside of our house.  I thought it would be so yummy to be walking in the chilly weather and see hot chocolate and cookies!  Oh yum.  We had done it the night before and to my surprise people are very generous!  My daughter made the poster board sign and I did the rest, the baking, the making of fresh hot chocolate, carrying the table outside and making sure she had change for all her customers. 

So we spent our time outside selling cookies and hot chocolate until it was time for to leave for Coach's football game. 

I don't know what it is about jeans, but I think they make my little boys so handsome!

Now Tommy was very excited about today because he was going to his first sleepover.  Not only was he going to be spending it with one of his best buds, it was going to be a camping trip!  He was so giddy, but I was surprisingly calm considering it was the first time my son has been away from home.  I thought I would be so against sleepovers until the kids were older, but for some reason I felt ok about this one. 

I can't resist whipping out my camera on a beautiful day. 

The kids did some biking/pushing.

Have you ever seen a tricycle ridden like that?  Silly boy!

They were picking for worms, too.  I used to do this to when I was their age.  I rather not touch them nowadays.  Don't worry, Anne was in charge of handling food and drink.

Most often, people think these two are twins when we're out and about.

We ended up winning that football game, Tommy had a great time at his camping trip but came home sick (recovered quickly) and we made out pretty well for the Gabriel Project.  A good weekend overall!
