Halloween 2020

It's Halloween at the Ledezma's!! Unfortunately, with COVID we decided not to do our traditional trick or treating. Instead Dad & Mom decided to do a scavenger hunt. Dad wrote out all the clues and we picked up some Halloween goodies for them to find throughout the house and backyard. Even though they didn't get to go out trick or treating they said it was still a fun Halloween and they want to do a scavenger hunt next year too!

Much Love,

All Saints Day

 Allison's kindergarten class celebrated All Saints Day today. Each year the kindergarten students select a saint that they will dress up like and get up in front of the school to say a few lines about their selected saint. Allison chose St. Elizabeth of Hungary, she was a princess in the 1200's who is the patron saint of hospitals, which was a timely choice for 2020. Unfortunately, we were not able to attend because of COVID restrictions, but we did get to watch a live stream and the school took photos. We were very proud of Allison for getting up in front of her classmates and speaking so well.

Pumpkin Carving

 It's pumpkin carving time again! This year, mom was not much help as she's still unable to use her left hand for hardly anything due to her injury so dad took over almost everything on the carving side. After he was finished, mom decided he should always do the carving! While dad worked on the pumpkins, the girls put together goody bags for both of their classes. Since no parents are allowed at the parties due to COVID, we could only do goody bags with prepackaged food and send them with the kids. Much like everything else, this is different too. After we were all complete we went outside to light the pumpkins, they all looked so good.

Fall Wedding

We attended the wedding of a family friend this past Saturday. It was outdoors on a farm in Oklahoma and was absolutely beautiful. We spent the evening watching the young couple celebrate and seeing friends we haven't gotten to see much due to COVID. The girls had a great time dancing and talking to everyone.

Camping Time

 The girls didn't have school on Friday, so we decided to take them for their first real camping trip at Lake Tenkiller. It was really cold, so we had lots of sleeping bags and warm blankets in the tent. When we arrived on the first day, we took a hike around the lake and let them explore the area around the campsite. We were the only campers in our area so it felt like we were really secluded. Dad made us some good camp food while we were there too! In the evening we set up the iPad for the girls to watch a movie while we sat by the campfire for a bit. On our last day we were planning on going fishing in the morning, but mom had a terrible accident and nearly severed her finger with a hunting knife. Dad and the girls rushed her to the closest hospital then headed back to the campsite to pack up while mom got stitched up. The bad news with mom's injury was it was down to the bone, but fortunately did not sever any tendons. She will be in stitches for 2 weeks while it heals. We hated that our trip was ended earlier than planned, but up to that point, we all had the best time together. We're hoping the girls first camping experience wasn't to "scarring"!

Movies under the Stars

Dad bought a new projector and outdoor movie screen so we could spend our Friday movie nights in the backyard. We tried it out this weekend, complete with a nice fire, popcorn, hot chocolate and s'mores. In honor of Halloween we watched Hocus Pocus. We asked the girls about sleeping outside, but they declined. We decided it's time to take them camping for some outdoor activities!

Snickerdoodle the Hamster

Abigail's 4th grade class has acquired a class pet; a hamster named Snickerdoodle. Each weekend one of the kids in her class gets to bring Snickerdoodle home for the weekend. Abigail's teacher asked us if it was ok for her to bring the hamster home for the weekend and we approved. Dad and mom aren't super huge fans of hamsters, plus we both had the fear that the hamster would die on our watch!! Abigail and Allison are both lovers of all animals and spent the weekend playing with Snickerdoodle, creating obstacle courses for him and even letting him sleep on them. We were also wary of letting Ginger out in the living room when Snickerdoodle was out. Abigail put him in his hamster ball and Ginger didn't seem to mind the rodent. Snickerdoodle ended up rolling around Ginger while she laid in her bed! Now, Abigail is asking for a hamster for Christmas...oh great.
