Henry's Halloween Party at School







This is my baby's first year in preschool. He was so excited that he got to wear his lion costume to school. The school actually called me as I was on my way there for the party to tell me that Henry had been crying for a while and they tried everything to calm him down. Nothing obviously worked. This is so not like my Henry. When I got there he continued crying for another 15 minutes. He wouldn't tell me what was wrong. It was very strange. Finally he stopped crying when it was his class turn to go on the hay ride. Once he calmed down I asked him why he was crying. I couldn't believe his response........."I was crying because I didn't want my paint to come off". He was talking about his whiskers and nose. I just laughed inside. It is amazing what little things can set off a child. I just thought that it was precious. I told him that all that crying would make the paint come off. He ended up having a blast at school and got a lot of candy! He is the cutest lion I have ever seen!

Fall is here

The view I see every morning as we eat breakfast! I love Fall!

Writer's Tea 2009





Walker got an invitation sent home that he had been picked to read a story that he wrote at this quarter's writers tea. Each kindergarten teacher picks 2 students from their class a quarter to go to the Writer's Tea. We were so proud of Walker for getting picked. I was able to go and watch him read. It was such a proud moment for us! Walker is reading and writing so well. We are really impressed with his teacher and school this year. It is amazing what he has learned thus far and we are not even half way through the year! Walker is a pretty shy guy but did awesome when it was his turn to read his story! We are so proud of Walker and earning a spot in the Writer's Tea. The story he wrote was "Watch my pumpkin grow". Way to go Walker!!!!

Little Carrots

We picked these carrots out of our garden a few weeks ago before the first frost. We couldn't wait to pull them up to see if we had anything or not. Well this is what we got. They are not the best looking carrots I have ever seen but they tasted pretty yummy. We are not sure why they are so short! Our garden was a fun experiment for the family this year.
