AP Psyche

Parker has been taking AP Psyche this year.  One of his assignments was to map out the brain.  This kid has such a dry sense of humor.  I looked over and one minute he was making the brain map and the next he was wearing it.  So so silly.

Merry Christmas!

Parker's last campout

It was a strong finish for Parker with scouts.  He very easily could have said, "no more, thank you very much", but he stuck with it when he could.  He'd camp, help younger scouts, attend courts of honor, etc. 

Last month he had his last camp out, Greg went along too.  Next year we'll see what our next move is with scouts for Yoda, who knows...

 

 They took along our bows and arrows (thanks, Dad!)

Thanksgiving Report

Tuesday: We washed some clothes and threw them in a bag.  Then we picked up each kid from school and drove off to NYC and NJ for Thanksgiving!

Wednesday: We ate our way around NYC. 

First Bagels by my sister's house.

  Then Cronuts.

 Amazing Pizza after a walk on the Highline

Then some Portuguese Pasteis de Nata

Later that night we had Chicken here, no photos though

Last was dessert ;) at the Milk Bar.  I can't find the photos from there, I'll get them in a bit...

 Greg and Parker had fancy ice cream, but Yoda, Mimi, Sonya and I custom designed our fancy cookie.  We were so full we waited until the next day to eat while we drove to NJ and my other sister's house for Thanksgiving dinner. 

 

 On the Highline

 

 Then Sonya lead us to see the Macy's Day Balloons being filled.  Can you see them in the back? 

Here's a few more close up...

 This one was the one Parker was most excited about but it was still flat!

DragonBallZ!

 Thursday: Yoda, Sonya and I thought we'd seen enough of the parade so we decided to stay at Sonya's to bake, pack, Yoda got to play with his new birthday Legos from Sonya.

 Mimi and Parker were rewarded with free swag from Netflix for going to the parade early in the morning with Greg. 

 Green Eggs and Ham! 

 By some miracle we had wonderful clear roads for our trip to NJ!

 The kiddos had lots of fun with cousin H and her new dog. 

 We went on a long walk after dinner. 

 I have another photo with everyone, I'll get to that...
UPDATE:
Here it is!

That night we drove all the way home so that Parker could work on Black Friday.  Phew!  What an awesome trip, so happy we could see family :)

Nice to know some things don't change

Mimi in a basket!
