FUN BOY WEEKEND

We had a great weekend. Austin played paintball on Sunday with Paul and two friends - Austin Kelly and Vignish. Austin loves to play paintball and they had a blast. He has a war wound - bruises as proof of his good time.


I went camping with Hampton. Paul and Austin stayed home since Austin had gone the previous weekend camping at the Barn. I didn't want Hampton to miss out so decided that just me and Hampton would go. We had a great time. Hampton ran around with friends the whole time. And yes, mom, I do like camping. I did come home very tired from not sleeping very well.

CRAZY HAIR AND CLOTHES

This week is spirit week at Winstead. Today is crazy hair and clothes day. We had fun spraying Hampton's hair purple and green and picking out his not matching clothes. All the kids are so creative.

The kids love riding their scooters and bikes before school and its mostly boys.

HOMEWORK CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE

Hampton is taking advantage of the wait at tennis lessons to do his homework

- on top of the car!!!

BUSY SCHOOL YEAR

It has been a super busy school year. The boys have lots of activities after school:

Monday - Austin has tennis

Tuesday - Austin just joined chess club and has Boy Scouts

Wednesday - we are FREE

Thursday - Hampton has guitar lessons - only 30 minutes

Friday - Hampton has soccer practice

Saturday - Hampton usually has a game

Also, seventh grade is killing us and Austin too. He has at least two or three quizes/tests per week. He had two posters due this week. He has been studying alot. The state of Tennessee upgraded the standards this year and he is having to learn alot more.

Paul and I enjoyed a weekend away to New Jersey. His cousin Deena got married at Beach Haven on Long Beach Island. We always have a blast at those New Jersey weddings. Paul's cousins and aunts and uncles are so much fun to hang out with. The beach town is great. A very old town with lots of houses and restaurants that have been there forever. Tropical Storm Hannah came through during the wedding and reception. It was very windy and rainy. We all got very wet going from the wedding to the reception. Here is a picture of us late into the night as you can tell.

Gigi came to stay with the boys and spoiled them the whole weekend. She stayed over the few days of the next week so that she could go to Grandparent's breakfast with Hampton at Winstead. Here she is enjoying breakfast with Hampton:
