Thanksgiving Performance at Olivia's Preschool

Yesterday we went to Olivia's preschool and watched a bunch of very cute little indians sing some songs before having a Feast with their parents.





Olivia has been practicing these songs at home, and it was a lot of fun to see them perform as a group.

Happy Halloween!

Tucanos Birthday Dinner

Since we did Bradley's birthday party so early in the month, we wanted to make sure he felt special on his actual birthday. We decided to take him to dinner some place he chose.

So my son chose the place with the pineapple on the stick (translation Tucanos Brazillian Grill). Bradley loves this place. They bring different types of meat to your table (and grilled pineapple). Then they also have a salad and entree bar. Bradley also loves there lobster bisque soup, and shrimp cocktail. Yep not your average 8 year old. Want to know what else is not average. Richard and him were eating chicken hearts (yuck), but Bradley is very proud of this.

We asked our waitress to sing Happy Birthday to Bradley. He was so surprised. They came out with drums and tambourines and sang in Portuguese. Bradley got to dance and shake the tambourines with them. They also gave both the kids a hot fudge sundae. It was a nice night.

Bradley's Birthday Party

Bradley had his party at Classic Fun Center. There was skating, bouncing, blasting and climbing. The kids did much better on scooters than they did on skates. Still we let Bradley and Olivia try skates. It was pretty funny. Bradley fell and almost took me down with him, even though I wasn't wearing skates. Olivia just let Richard push her around.





I believe this was the only time we had all the kids together . They were all off having fun and doing their own thing. Most of them didn't even eat the cake and ice cream because they wanted to play.

HMMM?? Did Bradley get what he wished for????

Yeah, he is pretty spoiled.

School Pictures

Bradley's 2nd grade picture! Say CHEESE!

Wow time has flown by. In just a few short weeks Bradley will be 8. He already wants a cell phone, a laptop and he is already counting down the years until he can drive. Time is sure changing, I am pretty sure at 8 I was still playing with Barbie, and driving was far out of my mind. And cell phones???? Nope it was probably a Walkman on my wish list. I didn't even get a CD player until I was 13. Wow that makes me sound old!

But I do love technology, when it benefits me. Say school pictures, now instead of ordering too many or not enough pictures, I just buy a CD that gives me full copyrights and I can order what I want. It is much cheaper too! Did I mention safer? I didn't do this for Bradley's kindergarten pictures and half of them came home bent. Lesson learned!

For right now Bradley has to take it slow. NO cell phones! NO laptops! And yes 8 more years until he can drive, if he is lucky :)
