Halloween and other Happenings




I can't believe it is November!! This year is flying by too fast. We made it through Halloween with flying colors. Joshua had his party in Kindergarten with a costume parade and everything. Molly's school did a Harvest Party where they all dressed like farmers. They still brought home candy, which is the important part to them, right? Joshua went trick-or-treating as Prince Caspian from the Chronicles of Narnia and Molly went as fairy-in-training Abby Cadaby from Sesame Street. We went trick-or-treating with Miss America (Kelsey) and a monkey (Zander) in two neighborhoods. The kids brought home quite a haul...there was even a house giving away full size candy bars to the grown-ups!

Football ended for Joshua this weekend too. His team finished 2-6...they won their last game though and improved a TON from week 1. We aren't sure what Joshua will do this winter as far as sports. We tried to sign him up for basketball, but we missed the deadline, so he is on a wait list. If that doesn't work out, he says he wants to take ice skating lessons and play ice hockey. He's definitely an athlete.

Molly is loving her dance class. I think it is helping her self esteem and coordination a lot. She has a great time going to class. They are having a recital in June. I can't wait to see her on stage in her cute little costume. She is going to do another round of swimming lessons this winter and then we will see if she is interested in any sports.

We are working on a lot of school stuff this month. Molly is learning the alphabet and sounds and how to write her name. It's funny how the two kid learn completely differently. Joshua is really close to being a reader. He loves it. He can't wait to do his homework each day. I hope that stays with him. We are also going to put together some Christmas boxes for Operation Christmas Child this year. They are due in a few weeks and the kids are having a great time figuring out what fun things we can send other kids that will fit in a shoebox.

Happy November!!
