This past Friday was the Thanksgiving Feast at David's school. The kids dressed up like Pilgrims and Native Americans and put on a little play and the parents were invited to join the kids for lunch. David was a Native America for the play as you might be able to tell from his leather vest. The leather vest was my first real mom project (I even used a pattern) and, although not perfect, it turned out pretty darn cute. I also made him a feather headdress, but he was having nothing to do with putting it on his head. These are the pictures Matt took as I got stuck at work (I know, shocking, right? But it really has been better since I went flex time. We have had dinner together as a family every night since I cut back at work, so I figure missing a small thing here and there is a small price to pay).
My favorite picture is the first one below. Matt was waiting for David in the Parish Hall as the kids came in from their classrooms walking in a line. When David saw Matt, he took off in a sprint toward him. He does this to me everyday when I pick him up from school and it is, by far, the best thing in the world to see him running toward you with a huge smile. Matt handles the drop-off (which, as I have previously blogged about, is not much fun at all) rather than the pick-up, so I am glad he got to experience this.
On Saturday, Aunt Hayley came to babysit and Matt and I drove to Waco to watch the Baylor/OU Game as an early celebration of Matt's birthday (which was Sunday). We went down a little early to get food and see the nieces and nephew. It is actually the longest that Matt and I have ever left David alone for us to go do something together. Of course, he had a big time with Aunt Hayley. They went to the park, went out to a nice dinner and snuggled before bed. We are excited about this coming weekend. Granny D and Papa Bruce are going to keep David on Friday night so Matt and I can have some free time. We are planning to go out to dinner, stay the night at a nice hotel in OKC (the same one we stayed at the night of our wedding), then go to OU game on Saturday morning. It will be the first time for us to leave David overnight.
My brother and sister-in-law went to the game with us.
The band did this big group dance after the traditional marching band performance during half time. Everyone from both bands plus the cheerleaders, flag team girls, twirlers, etc. all went on the field and danced to that popular black-eye peas song. It was quite amusing.
The kids waited up to say good night to us before we headed back to Dallas after the game.
The picture Aunt Hayley and David texted me when David was getting ready for bed.
