Our Simple Halloween

We went to the Pumpkin Patch and the kids loved the animals.







The corn box was a hit as well.

 Caleb hand selected his pumpkin which was used as a basketball throughout the month and never got carved.  I found it in the closet cracked, but it lasted through Halloween suprisingly.






We all loaded up for Nicole's Halloween parade at school.



It rained a lot so the babies made it to 4 houses and Nicole a few more.  But I'm not complaining.  It's only the 2nd week of November and the candy is gone!

Remembering Nicole starting Kindergarten!

Nicole graduated from preschool and started Kindergarten this year.



She resisted going out to take her picture before school but after the first one she wouldn't stop posing!
I think the bus is her favorite part.  I've been to the school a few times for their field trip and class party and she always wants to ride the bus home even when I'm already there!  Other than that, I'm the Clorox Wipe mom this year.  I don't have a weekly volunteer time, but rather send Clorox wipes and tissues every couple weeks. The bus takes awhile which helps stretch out the short Kindergarten day and she gets to sit with her friends and color.  The Kindergarten bus driver is awesome.  She lets Nicole finish her lunch on the bus when we're running late and waits for us as we're running down the street.  We're usually on time, but we get the babies down for their nap and then get her ready and fed.
She's doing great and we already are through the 1st quarter and had our first Parent Teacher Conference.  I sat down and her teacher said, "We both already know she has straight A's"  Her only problem is she's bossy.  What do you expect from a 5 year old who thinks she's an "inadult"?  She always says there's 3 big people and 3 babies.  And when we make it to church, she's responsible for one of them!
