School Time Fun

Avery has really been enjoying her first year of school.
The teacher asked me to do some Halloween crafts with
the kids... and as much as I do not enjoy crafting ... I agreed.
We did pumpkin faces and bats.  I have been asked
to go again in November and I plan to do turkeys. 

The kids had a great time.  And Avery loved having me
in her class for a little while.

Fall Fest at Church

Our church held a fall festival on Halloween
day and since it was pouring cats and dogs
outside.. the festival was a great escape.
Gram and Paw Paw helped with the
activities and the kids played games and won
candy. They all look so cute!

No Field Trip for Us

The 2nd grade big field trip is to go to New Orleans to
see a play at the Saenger Theater.  Well the cost was
going to be $200 for both of us to go... and that was just
to much for us to spend right before Christmas. BUT
we still had fun because after I got back from Avery's
field trip I checked Aaron and his friend McKenzie out
and we met Jackson and his mom for ice cream.  From
this picture you can tell they weren't to disappointed about
not going on the field trip. 

Avery's First Field Trip

This is just some of the parts about why I love being
a stay at home mom... going on field trips! Avery had her
first big school field trip last week to the pumpkin patch.

They had pumpkin decorating, games, snacks, and
even a hay ride! It was great seeing her with her little
friends!

Our Star Student

Aaron was Star Student for his class in the
month of October.  We are so proud of him!
Daddy and I had lunch with him and Spencer
was able to join us as well!

Happy Trick or Treat!

 Due to some heavy weather coming on Halloween,
the city decided to hold trick or treating the day before.
Which we think worked out great because trick or treating
in the rain doesn't sound very fun.  We held a little party
at our house with a few families.  One family brought
a trailer for us to use around the neighborhood. The kids
and the adults had a great evening!
