Halloween 2009

Sugar Pop Garden

Tomorrow we are going over to my parents' for a Halloween Party. Tonight the kids and I made a sugar cookie garden. I just hope that they make it through the night and all the way over there tomorrow without falling down! They are not in there very securely.

Pajama Day

Today at preschool they had pajama day. Phedora was so excited to wear her new pajama's and bring snack and sharing. This month's sharing theme is all things fall related. They pick on thing, put it in a paper bag and then the other kids have to try and guess whats in the bag based on clues. Today Phedora took a mini pumpkin for sharing. Since it was a pajama party at school we were asked to bring Phedora's favorite cereal for snack today. So they all got to have a bowl of fruity cheerios this afternoon. I thought for sure she would have wanted to take the multi grain cheerios since that is what she eats almost daily but I guess not. Phedora also took Lady and her blanket to school today. Apparently, they pretended to take a nap and then her teacher Mrs. Thach drove them all back to school afterwards. Phedora said that she had a great time at school today.

She even got to wear her slippers to school today. Thank goodness it wasn't raining today :)

Our Pretty Princess

October 2009

Way back the week off Oct 5-9th Hayden got his first Excellent progress report from school. He has gotten excellent's every week since then.

Dan and I went last week and had our first parent teacher conference with Hayden's teacher. She said that he is very smart and excelling at everything. Hayden is already able to do a lot of things that they don't expect them to do until the end of Kindergarten. We are so proud of Hayden!
Last Tuesday, Phedora and I went to Craven farm with her preschool.

Isis' Halloween costume

As you can see she hates it!

Phedora lost her first tooth on Saturday!

Her new tooth has already broken through

She is about to lose the one next to this one too!

Whats crazy is that Hayden and Phedora have lost the same tooth now and they are the exact same size!

Darth Vader and Princess Leia

The kids had fun trying on their Halloween costumes.

Its time to carve some pumpkins

So excited!

They are going to race to see who finishes first and Mommy isn't going to have to do it this year they are cleaning them out themselves!

The first pull

If I use two hands it will get done faster

Um Ya not so much...
And then mommy ended up cleaning both pumpkins...

Hayden drew out his face with a crayon and I carved it out for him.

Phedora wanted a Kitty so Dan had to shrink the pattern to fit her little pumpkin.
