Bye Bye, October!!!

October has FLOWN by and the kids are SO excited for Halloween!  This week was busy with Parent/Teacher conferences, a Halloween Party at the school, and a visit to Grandma's (so Daddy could bow hunt...no deer for the freezer this weekend!)

Look closely, a double rainbow from Mommy's drive home on Monday!


Mommy reading stories to the kiddos on Monday evening.  Nice pout face, Addie!

while Addie and Daddy played on the Kindles


On Friday afternoon, Mommy and Daddy attended Ayson and Addie's Parent Teacher conferences. Both kids are doing great in school are having fun (granted, Ayson told Addie that 1st grade is harder than Pre-k...Mommy thought "you JUST wait, Big Guy" ;)

First grader work in the hallway outside Ayson's classroom


Two weeks ago, the First graders went to Hospital Land (kids learn about hospitals and hygiene) so as to understand what happens if/when they get sick.
A picture and narration from Ayson.


A Halloween character that Ayson drew for Ms Mel when he was in Pre-K (hmm, maybe it was Kindergarten as the picture is pretty detailed for Pre-K).  Anyway, Ms Mel loved the picture SO much that she laminated it and puts it up every Halloween :)


Friday night was the Halloween Party at the school.
Addie was a butterfly ballerina


And Ayson went as Sparky from "Frankenweenie"


Once we got home from the party, the kiddos each found a gigantic card from the Anthony's wishing the kids Happy Halloween!  The kids were so excited/happy!  Thanks Jo, Dave, and Gi!!!!


On Saturday afternoon, Mommy and the kiddos joined Daddy at Grandma Collene's house (Daddy went to Grandma's right after the party Friday night so as to be able to hunt first thing Saturday morning).
Addie comparing how big her foot was to Daddy's foot...keep eating and growing big and strong, Addie! :)


On Sunday mid morning, we accompanied Daddy while he went "hunting."  LOL, Mommy had to return to the house quickly and on the way back to the family, she spotted two doe running in the opposite direction of Daddy and the kiddos :)


The kids trying to be quiet and wait for the deer :)


Mary Lou stopped by Grandma's for a visit and Mommy snapped a few pics of the girls and kiddos:)
