A Christmas Tree for Great Grandma Reba

I thought it would be fun for the kids and I to surprise Great Grandma Reba with a christmas tree, some lights, and of course orniments. The kids loved being able to decorate it all by themselves and Grandma loved watching them. Now Grandma has a little Christmas spirit at her house and the kids got a taste of what it's like to "give".

Thanksgiving Day Feast and Fun Day

Well, I tried to do this before and lost it so here it goes again....lol
The Friday before Thanksgiving, Brooklynn's class had a feast. The cafeteria supplied the fixin's and a few mom's and I decorated. After their feast they went on to their "Fun day". That is a day for Kindergarteners who collected 25 green stickers for good behavior in the last 6 weeks. They went to stations and were able to do alot of fun activities. The other moms and I maned a station each and the kids were able to play with play-doh, paint, frost cookies, and play bingo. All the kids had a blast! Now we are on to collecting for the next "Fun Day".

Blossom Trails Pre-School

Tyler has been at his new pre-school for about a month now. I wanted to share some pictures of his classroom and a project he did there. I am very pleased with the pre-school change. He is learning so much, the other day he came up to me and said "Mom, listen to how I can count in spanish". He then counted to 8! I was sad to change schools but now I can see what a difference it has made. He really likes his teachers and looks forward to going.....at least most days!

Wordless Wednesday

Halloween Time!

Halloween is here again! I love Halloween....I have fond memories of trick-or-treating and I love re-living it through my kids. This is the first year Tyler has really gotten into it. He kept referring to himself as spiderman....spiderman is hungry, spiderman wants this or that. It was too cute! Brooklynn looked absolutely adorable...if I do say so myself :) We decided to go to my in-laws neighbourhood because of all the empty houses in ours. It was a great time, there were alot of houses giving out candy but not a whole lot of kids. The kids had a blast, they are already coming up with ideas for next years costumes!

Brooklynn's Award Ceremony

Brooklynn's school had their first award ceremony last week. I think every quarter her teacher will select 5 students to acknowledge. The awards can be for excelling in something learning related...reading, writing, math ect. or personal qualities....good manners, social skills, ect. Brooklynn was given her award in reading. Mrs. Prewitt said that she is reading at a 2nd grade level, that she really enjoys reading to her peers or by herself in their reading corner. I am SO proud of her! I hope she continues in her love of reading, it is such a great thing!
