Kindergarten Open House

Words can't begin to describe how excited Cutter was for his first open house. For the first time in many years, Hank and I were both able to attend. Cutter happily showed us his classroom, art room, music room, cafeteria, library and where they have PE. After Sailor attending there for three years, we didn't dare tell him we already knew the school layout.


Each student made a box to bring home to hold their keepsakes during the year. I love this idea!

Cutter and his cubby. The clothespin is for the cafeteria and has their lunch number on it. Each child was given their own water bottle and book bag from their teacher.
This seriously had to be the highlight of the night for me. Watching Hank try to sit in the little chairs and cut out a hand.

Uncle Buck's Fishbowl & Grill

I'm back! I realize it's been over a month since I posted anything, but when I say things have been busy around here, that is truly an understatement. Hopefully we are on the path to normalcy again, or at least as much as possible until Hank finds a job and gets back to work. In the meantime, I'm hoping to get more posted in the upcoming days and weeks.

Tucker's birthday was back in August (yes, I'm that far behind) and one of the things he had been begging to do was go to Uncle Buck's Fishbowl and Grill as soon as it opened. It is a new restaurant and bowling alley owned by the Bass Pro Shops. Not really knowing what to expect, we stopped in one day a little before his birthday for a little lunch and bowling. It is definitely worth going to at least once to visually take it all in. I can't say I would bowl there regularly as it can get quite costly, but the kids loved it!




Each ball return was a different animal and the bowling balls all had a scene on them.

We also ordered a few appetizers. This was the alligator nuggets which turned out to be pretty great. That sauce was fantastic, whatever it was.
