Spirit Day/JBQ/Play=Misc pictures

 Pic from the 2nd meet of JBQ
 Sports Spirit Day at the park. All 3 of our teams were represented above.
 Then I had the kids change to humor me. They love me!
 Hannah got tickets for her b-day from her friend to see a play that friend was performing in.
Here's all the TBQ God's Girlz at the play.



So here is a catch up of pictures. Most are self explanatory. 

I will give more detail to Joshua's 2nd JBQ meet a couple weeks ago. Here's a team point breakdown of how each match went:

Round 1: Compass Kidz 180 to 40
Round 2: Compass Kidz 260 to 70
Round 3: Compass Kidz 275 to 40
Round 4: Compass Kidz 330 to 0 (yes, that's a "0", not a typo)
Round 5: Compass Kidz 260 to 30

Obviously they had an amazing day. They are still undefeated and in 1st place right now. Joshua had 350 points for the day coming in 2nd place to one of his team mates again. So we had 4 team members in the top 10 this meet. We had 1st, 2nd, 7th, & 9th. There's a girl on another team who is always close to reaching Joshua's scoring so he's determined to hang on to 2nd place individual scorer all season. I'm assuming there will be no way to catch his team mate so he's happy with #2. Actually, he'll be happy to make it to the top 10 by the end of the season. 

Hannah has a meet in December which also happens to be the day of her play. THAT will be an exhausting day/evening. She had to do this before for Wild West Tales so it CAN be done!

Hannah's Minion Party

 Assortment of minion goodies & paraphernalia. From bottom left: goodie bags, cups, paper minions to hide around the house for the find the hidden minion game, tattoos, unicorn tail for the pin the tail on the unicorn game. Back row from left: goodie bag,guess the # of candies games, unicorn horns. The containers in the back had candy in them & whoever guessed the closest number in each got to keep the container. The purple minion had purple Sixlets, the yellow one had Lemonheads, & the last one had Runts BUT they had to only guess the banana pieces in that one.
 Minion pen & pencil.
 Sign I had Todd draw for the bathroom door.
 Cookie robot.
 The cake!
 Our address.
 The necessities: Food,water, and a pee pee & poo poo spot.
 Showing off their ninja skills.
 Preparing to quiz on Despicable Me trivia.
 Thinking of keeping these year round......just kidding (kinda).

 The kids actually enjoyed the box of shame. It was not a punishment in the least.
 Birthday girl.
Hannah's Minion themed party was this afternoon. I had way too much fun planning for it. I'm pretty sure everyone had fun. Games I planned were a find the hidden minion game,pin the tail on the unicorn, trivia, and a guess who type game. All the kids had a character from one of the two movies taped to their backs. They had to ask questions about who they were & then guess who they were. We had snacks,cake,cookies, & ice cream. What's not to like? Especially when there's a minion theme! Now, what to do about Joshua's b-day in 6-7 months????

Joshua as Andrew Shaw & Hannah as a hockey puck

On Halloween we went to a church festival. Joshua wore this jersey and went as Andrew Shaw from game 6 of the SCF. That was the game "we" won the cup and Andrew Shaw took a puck to the face but came back out to play. One of my favorite pictures from the series is him holding up the cup while blood drips from his face. I used electrical tape to make his name & number on the back of the jersey. Hannah dressed all in black as the "puck". She had a sign on her front and back that said "made in Slovakia" like it says on pucks. I may be the only person who gets this idea but the kids are great to humor me.
