I am really enjoying the weekends here.  Friday, Colin was invited to our next door neighbors house for "Spooky Movie Night".  So, I took him over there and while he wasn't so sure about the movie and was a little scared, he did enjoy the pizza, popcorn and smores.  Evan who was very sad to not be invited, stayed home with Dennis and Logan.  Dennis treated him to pizza and a new movie at home so that he wouldn't feel too left out.

Movie night!

Saturday we had a great dinner out at what is becoming one of my favorite restaurants here, Pizzology, it is about as gourmet as I can find here while still being family friendly.  However, being up late the night before caught up to Evan and he was all over the place at dinner and very cranky as he gets when he is tired.  My boys definitely like their 7:45-8:00pm bed time.

Sunday, after church, we had Dennis' coworker (who lives in our neighborhood) over with his family to watch the Redskin game and eat lunch (they are Eagles fans).   They are a very nice laid back family and it was great to catch up with them.

Today we got awesome news about Colin...In his folder from school was a letter stating that based on testing and strong classroom observation the school is recommending he be placed in an advanced math class, which will be doing 2nd grade curriculum.  I had a feeling that he seemed to be grasping the concepts very quickly and looks like I was right!  He is a really smart kid and we are very proud of him.  Friday he also got his first report card for 1st grade and he seems to be doing very well so far.

It was wonderful to get some good news today after a very sad day.  My best friend Nikki's brother is in the hospital with very serious brain cancer of which they were not able to fully remove and my heart is breaking for her and her family.  He is a wonderful man and I am saying a lot of prayers for them...
