Evan turned five this year and instead of doing our traditional big birthday parties at our house – we had Evan invite who he wanted (kids) and we had it at the place he takes swimming lessons. Evan wanted a pool party with a pirate cake (Pirates of the Caribbean). He had both and had a blast. Check out the photos from the fun kids party! A big thanks for all who came and to my mother who flew in for the event!
Today at Evan’s school he got to dress up and have a Halloween party with all his classmates. Here are some photos from his class this morning.
We signed Evan up for soccer a few weeks ago. After the second week – Evan could control the ball (reasonably), stop it with his feet, jump over it (two feet together) and more! He likes it and we enjoy watching him!
Each Tuesday and Thursday I look forward to coming home and hearing about what Evan said at preschool – I always hope for good news.
Last week we heard about how Evan corrected his teacher while she read One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. It seems she is not a big fan of the book and she was trying to skip some pages or at least some words to get through the fairly long book quicker. Well Evan, who practically has the book memorized, mentioned several times that she was saying the “wrong word” (one of his catch phrases) and skipping pages. She loves Evan but all you teachers know how we do not appreciate the student who constantly correct us – hopefully his cuteness helps her look past the corrections. 
Evan and I – along with our friends Phil and Ginny – took Evan sledding yesterday at a nearby park. In Illinois – the only hills are either retention ponds or land fills so “natural” sledding hills are not very common. We all had a blast and hope to go again soon.
Yesterday, Denise picked up Evan from his pre-school class and returned with a funny story. Evan loves snow and eating snow. Just before pre-school I found him eating snow off the parking lot which I quickly told him not to do, but on the way out of his pre-school he saw something that interested him: blue ice (blue salt to melt the ice). Apparently he saw it and thought it was some sort of super treat that came with the snow and picked some up, put it in his mouth and quickly spit it out.
While Denise quickly yelled at him – it became a good lesson. Not everything that looks exciting is good for you – even if it is blue!
This is what Evan says to us whenever we see him in the evenings when we (jen) pick him up from Denise’s house. I think it is the sweetest thing, because he combines two statements that kinda makes the two statement void each other out. But you know what he means and it is the cutest thing. I had to share with every one.
Being off two days a week allows me a little extra time with my family in the mornings. So this morning I went with Jen to drop Evan off at Denise’s and on the way Jen asked Evan a few of his favorite things…for today.
