Fall Festival for Highland Creek Elementary

I told you we were busy the last month. The Fall Festival was a family event hosted by Highland Creek Elementary. It was on Saturday, November 8th. We had so much fun riding horses, jumping in the bounce houses, riding a hay ride, face painting and more.

Bryson's First Black Eye

Bryson got his first black eye on Sunday evening on November 2nd. He had just got out of the bath and I had put footy pjs on him for the first time this season. He was walking between the two ottomans like he always does and slipped off and hit the space heater. I'm not sure if the footy pjs had anything to do with him slipping or not, but he hadn't fallen like that before. It swelled up so quickly. It broke my heart to look at his little eye. Luckily he could open it the next day. He didn't even act like it bothered him after the first night that it happened.

Fall is Beautiful!!!

We love the beautiful trees as the leaves change colors in the fall. This is the pond that is down the street from our house. It wasn't actually that cold, but the girls didn't have their hair done so we just told them to wear their hoods. Of course we couldn't let Bryson be different.

Shelby's Award

We are so proud of Shelby. Her class had first quarter awards and she was the only one awarded an individual award. Each class nominated one student to win the "Bee" All You Can "Bee" Award. The school discipline policy/rules are be kind, be safe, be respectful and so on. The kids earn little "bees" when they are caught being good. The classes have a contest to see who can earn the most. Shelby is our strong willed child so we're glad she does well in school. She loves learning new things in kindergarten.

October Update

I seem to be a once a month blogger. Sorry for the delay, but life just zooms by around here. Here are the Halloween pictures. We had a lot of fun at the Trunk-or-Treat. Dennis surprised us with his and Bryson's costumes. They were the Blues Brothers. How cute!!! We don't always dress up with the kids, but it was really fun this year. The girls and I had fun being witches. I actually made their witches costumes this year. They picked out the accessories at the dollar store.

Troop 862 Campout at Dan Nicholas Park

We had a great time going to Dan Nicholas Park with Alyssa's Brownie Troop. The Girl Scouts had a "lodge" called the Holly Hut. We were kind of expecting a nice cabin, but it was very rustic. Atleast that's the nice way to put it. We had a personal guide that showed us different types of animals and took us on a hike the next day. He was wonderful with the girls.

Alyssa's Fieldtrip to Latta Plantation

I got to go to Alyssa's fieldtrip to Latta Plantation. I really enjoyed spending the morning with her and her class.
