HaPpY HaLlOwEeN and misc....

What a beautiful halloween day....We had a fun day of passing out treat bags, a little homework, playing at the park and homemade halloween cookies (you know jamie, the kids are going to expect decorated cookies on every holiday). On the way home from the park we found piles of leaves to walk through so that was great fun--who knew we'd be blessed with a few more nice days b4 winter.





After passing out halloween bags, everyone was ready to open them....we (I) decided that taking them home and getting sugared up was a much better idea, they got to pick out 1 piece of candy from stash b4 story time.



.... candy and story time....



I have tons of breakfast, lunch and snack pictures. These kiddos love to eat and will usually eat about anything I put in front of them. The conversations they have never ceases to amaze me....they truely enjoy their lunch hour-just chatting and eating away. It does make me a little sad that when they get in school they have about 30 sec. to chat and about 3 minutes to eat.











One cold morning last week I sat with the girls for almost an hour at the table doing just this....stickers, paper, cutting....







Dress up....still a fav. and what will get us through the cold winter days. If you ever see cheap dress up clothes grab them....I'll pay you back. Some of ours are getting pretty used.





One last pict. got to pick out a tatoo for good picker-uprs

TUESDAY OCT. 25TH

WORK FIRST THEN PLAY....

WORK....









SNACK OUTSIDE....PROBABLY THE LAST DAY FOR THAT IN AWHILE.



FOUND A LADY BUG....





STILL A LITTLE BIT TIRED....



WE WERE OUT AT A POND LAST NIGHT AND FOUND SOME TADPOLES. ANDREW CALLED UP HIS SCIENCE TEACHER TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE OK TO BRING THEM TO SCHOOL....THEN BROUGHT THEM HOME FOR THE KIDDOS TO HOLD.









HUNTING FOR DEER....

Thursday!! Thursday!!

We were working on Paxtons birthday book this am. The kids have alot of fun doing this. I get out all my extra crafty "junk" and they go at it. I write on their paper "I like (Paxton) because" and they get to finish the sentence with whatever they want to say. Our first couple of times doing this they had a hard time thinking of something nice to say, but now they come up with all sorts of nice compliments. Its also a great activity because they are "forced" to make something nice for someone else.













HOMEWORK





FIRST I BAKED THESE ROCKS THEN WE COLORED ON THEM WITH CRAYONS-ASK YOUR KIDDOS ABOUT THEM THEY WERE PRETTY PROUD :)



OUR LAST MORNING ACTIVITY B4 LUNCH IS USUALLY STORY TIME. THE LOVE THIS AND WE USUALLY END UP HAVING SOME MEMORABLE TALKS. LOTS OF PERSONALITIES SITTING IN THIS SEMI CIRCLE.

Sparky, Firetrucks and Misc....

Seeing sparky and the firetrucks was AWESOME!! They had so much fun. If you see Miss. Donna, give her a shout-out for letting us join her class for this fun adventure. My camera was dead that day, so Miss. Donna is sending me a couple pictures of the firetrucks. Check back later to see the rest of them.

Here they are!!







Poor Finley, she just had a major wipe-out on the cement b4 taking this picture.




Right b4 our morning walk today-man I'm sure gonna miss this in the winter.



We got to stop at the gazebo at the library and have cupcakes for a snack-Thanks Jamie!!






On our walks they love finding new halloween decorations. At this particular house we tip-toe up close to it and run like lightning past it. So fun, just hope no one is ever watching. They might wonder............
