German Adventures of David, Tammy, AJ and Michael: SNOW!!!

Well I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning, but yes there was snow coming down!! It is the first snow of the year. I have been told that it is early for snow here, so we might be in for a long winter. AJ did a snow angel and then he and I had a great snowball fight!!! The snow was perfect for packing!!! It was great!!! Since it was snowing today we decided it wouldn't be very conducive to going to the carnival. So we decided to head to the BX and finally got David a phone and let the boys run off some energy at the play area. Many parents decided to do that and then not watch their children, so we took an early leave. Then we decided to have some family fun and go bowling!! We had a blast!! The boys beat David and I both games. Michael had high score at 136! He was sure excited about it!!! After that we had some local cuisine down at Globus, a local grocery store. We had some brats and the boys some pizza. It was yummy. Yesterday AJ had a field trip to the pumpkin patch. It was the same one that we went to with Michael's friends but he still had a great time and so did I! Except that it was COLD!! The wind was blowing and I had AJ in a coat, fleece, hat and gloves and he said he was still cold and I was too. I should have brought out our warm winter socks. But we were able to see everything, it didn't rain or snow and we had some good hot apple cider! I was amazed that every parent that wanted to go as a chaperone could go. There were 16 students there and only two that didn't have a parent on the field trip. Last year they were only allowed to take two parents on fields trips at Fort Huachuca. I think it is really cool that everybody was welcomed! It is always fun to go and hang out with the kids especially to see their smiles!! We have two more pumpkins that the boys want to paint instead of carve this time which is just fine with me! It takes a lot less time and a lot less mess. :-) We are going to try a new church tomorrow, actually AJ's teacher goes to this one. Her family really loves it, so we are going to give it a shot, then on to lunch, AWANAS, scouts and then bed for the boys. No rest for the weary. I am not sure what we are going to do when they start sports. Next week is even busier, we have something happening Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday night. It should be fun though!!!
