Pomerleau Family Blog: Busy week in late October

We had a really hectic week leading up to the week before Halloween. Brandon was wrapping up soccer and had his last two soccer practices on Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday I had Brandon's parent/teacher conference with his teacher Mrs. Lambert. That went really well but I had to meet with her early at 4:00. I didn't realize that Brandon had to be there with me for the conference but it worked out well as he was just at the YMCA after school care in the cafeteria so I was able to grab him. His conference went really well. Brandon is doing really well. After the parent-teacher conference we headed to the Book Fair and Brandon got to use his $9 he earned at his Jog-A-Thon and buy some new books. We also got a new book for Olivia. After that we headed to pick Olivia up from school. We got to go to Burgerville for dinner as the kids were getting their flu shots at the flu clinic at their pediatrician's office near Olivia's school. The kids were super excited about eating at Burgerville as we rarely get fast food. The shots went well and we were in and out in 10 minutes. Brandon was a bit more apprehensive about the shot than Olivia. Neither kid cried.

Both kids doing quite well after their flu shots

The next day, we had Brandon's last soccer practice. We dropped him off and then ran home and ate dinner quickly as we were going to pick him up and head to his school's Family Fun Night which was at a local farm nearby. Unfortunately, the large corn maze had been blown down the weekend before with all the torrential rain and wind we had, but the smaller corn maze and their playground was still open. The kids got to have donuts and apple juice and had fun playing a musical chairs type game for candy, getting their face painted, and doing a fun dance. Outside they had their playground going and a smaller corn maze. The kids had fun seeing their friends. All in all it was a fun night although the kids got to bed later than we wanted them to. At least there was no school for either on Thursday so they were able to sleep in.
