Donut Wednesday

We had long Donut Wednesday. There was a long line. We don't like it, well, Mommy doesn't like that. Then Oliver spilled milk on his shorts, so we had to go back home so he could change. Lucky we live close. Mommy got a late start on her drive to work. Oh well. She made it in time. Anyways, the time we spent together was nice.

Long line.

New counters.

We always notice new stuff at the donut shop.

Mommy got to wear pjs to school for red ribbon week.

Oliver wore his Charger shirt to team up against drugs!

Hand.

(Mommy's tea. The tea leaves a mess.

Who wants to clean

it up?)

Oliver studies for his test again! He did last

night too! He is becoming quite a

serious scholar. This makes Mommy SO

happy!

Mommy taught Oliver that he could fold up his

study sheet and put it in his pocket. Then he can study

at lunch and on the playground if he needed too.

But she reminded him he can't use it when he

is taking the test. No cheating! He agreed.

Oliver is off with his Daddy now. Mommy will see him on Friday for the Fall Festival at school and a busy spooky weekend!

Pick-Me-Up

Mommy found out that Oliver's costume arrived at Grammie and Grandpa's before 4:00 pm today, that is when she leaves work. So, she headed over to their home to pick it up before heading home to pick up Oliver! Oliver knew this might happen, he sure was ready for a halloween pick-me-up!

Mommy knew she'd get a good pick-me-up

when she got to Grammie and Grandpas!

Still in his pjs!

Look at that side profile!

Just up from her nap!

Climbing on Aunt Mere to get her camera! Such a

great pick-me-up!

Ok, babes, Aunt mere has to go! She needs to

give Oliver a major pick-me-up!

Waiting for Oliver.

He put the headdress on when we got to

Jimbos to get Mommy's Tuesday

pick-me-up. (Wheatgrass.)

He got another pick-me-up at Major Market when

he saw his friend Jacob! Oliver was in full

Native American attire by the time we got there

for Mommy's half-caff pick-me-up.

Mommy found the pick-me-up office note she had

them send to Oliver today! She wanted him to

feel excited! He was! He ran to Mommy at the Boys

and Girls Club with a big, big smile on his face!

Friend pick-me-up before homework time!

Homework pick-me-up! What beats doing your

math and spelling in your halloween costume!

Mommy was trying to finish a paper she is

going to turn in tonight, a day early. That

is a definite pick-me-up feeling!

So glad the costume it fits, he loves it, and it came in

time for him to wear it the Friday parade at school!

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.)

Studying

Oliver had an appointment this afternoon and then we spent some time studying...

For his test on Wednesday

Studying to be a vampire.

Mommy studied this baby for a bit:

Here comes Aunt Mere.

Hopefully he gets over his little cold soon.

Mommy studied on the elliptical while Oliver

studied and learned how to be a good

helper and big cousin:

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.)

Oops

Oops. Mommy forgot to ask what Oliver wanted to be for Halloween! He has been a warden the last few years and she just figured he would be that again. WRONG! Yay, he wants to be a Native American! He is learning about them in school and really wanted to be one in the play the 2nd grade is practicing. Mommy promised to get him a good costume if he got that part, but he is a pilgrim instead. Mommy said he can still have the costume and now he will get a pilgrim one too!

We made a mad rush to the Spirt of Halloween store but did not find any Native American attire. Grammie and Grandpa helped order him a bunch of stuff on Amazon. They have Prime, which Oliver is VERY impressed with, he can't wait to get his stuff! (Thanks for reading all of this, its kind of a big deal for Mommy.)
