| Mom had a music gig Saturday night, so the boys and I had some tickets to the Thunder game. We had really good seats. |

| Sam's buddy Seth from school spent the night Friday evening. Sam, Seth, and Doug went and played laser tag at Laser Quest. It was 20 minutes of intense action. We had a lot of fun. Seth agreed not to shoot each other and that we would be a "team". Let's just say that Doug had to start shooting Seth. |
 |
| Seth and Sam had a Lego Hero Factory building contest. |
 |
| Sam holding his stringed instrument that he made for his school project. Each student had to create a musical instrument using recycled materials. Sam made a one stringed instrument using a used apple juice jug. The students showed them off during a Veterans Day parade at school. Grandma Shaffer provided the red, white, and blue tissue paper. The stick was a walking stick donated by Grandma and Grandma Keefer. |
 |

| We walked over to the new Wal-Mart market today close to our house. It was a beautiful day for a walk. They had some face painting, cotton candy, an inflatable for the kids, and yes, only at our Wal-Mart a Mariachi band. |
 |
| Sam had a field trip right before the weather turned cold. It was at the Great Plains Nature Center/ There was an outdoor and indoor activity. Miss Patty from center here is showing us some of the evergreen trees and how birds eat the seeds on the tree, leave their evidence and thus more trees grow. |
 |
| Sam and his team are digging up fossils. As you can see below, there are 4 quadrants in the box. The piece of paper was divided in to 4 quadrants as well. Sam here is drawing one of the fossils he found. |
