This and That November

The kids still love to play with bubbles in the backyard.

Luke is the competitive and more physical kid in our family.  Lately he has been obsessed with football.  He constantly wants me to play football with him.  This involves throwing and catching the ball, running, and lots of tackling!  He can't get enough of it!

Spring Valley had a dress like your favorite decade day at school, and Abby got to wear my old poodle skirt.  I loved seeing it on her and remembering how my mom made this for me when I was in elementary school.  It fits her almost perfectly!

Reflections Contest 2014

Every year Texas PTA host an art and media contest called Reflections.  Caleb has never been that interested in participating, but Abby was so excited to do it this year.  The theme was "The world would be a better place if...".  I let Abby come up with what she wanted to do, and she picked "The world would be a better place if my classroom could be outside".  She worked hard on her picture and was thrilled to see it hung up in the gallery (hallway) with the other artwork from our district.

I love her enthusiasm about all things related to school.  She always very glad to go to school and wants to participate in everything!

Sieverts in Waco November 2014

The Sieverts came to visit last weekend.  We had a great time as usual!  We did the zoo, the museum, the park, church, Chickfila, lots of outside play time, and a tour of the new track. 

Football, Field Trips, and Halloween Festivities

We finished out the month of October with football, field trips, and lots of Halloween fun!

Jon got to go with Luke's preschool class on a field trip to the zoo and to the pumpkin patch.

Luke was very proud of his BIG pumpkin.  He told all of the other kids that his pumpkin was the biggest.

Luke's class also had a fun Fall party.

Luke and Abby got to have a costume parade at gymnastics.

The kids also got to trick or treat at Baylor and attend the Fall Festival at our church.  By Halloween night, we had plenty of candy and decided to stay in for a movie night!
