Halloween Night

We had a wonderful Halloween. In the evening we went to a Halloween party at my friend's house. It was a kid's party. They got to carve pumpkins, decorate cookies, and eat pizza. Then we went home and got the dogs dressed and went trick-or-treating. The dogs didn't last very long. We took them to my friend's house who I teach with (she lives a few streets down). After trick-or-treating, Luke wanted to go home and give candy out.

Fall Festival

We had a busy Halloween. On Thursday Luke had his fall festival at school. He loved the haunted house and was very happy to win a cupcake at the cupcake walk. Nana came with us too.

Red Ribbon Week

We had a contest with other schools in the district to see whose campus would have the most red. Luke really liked this day.

My Projects for Work

I made a giant Red Clifford for Red Ribbon week. I looked at a book and drew him. I then made paws to go around him. My next project is Oscar from the book The Hallow-Weiner. I drew a giant winniedog and we are going to use him to sequence events from the story.

Luke and School

Luke loves Holiman and his teacher. I was nervous at first for him since he has never been in a classroom with more than 6 kids. At first he was nervous too, when he didn't understand something he would get teary eyed, but his teacher would reasure him that it was okay and that she is hear to help him (soooo sweet). I don't know what will happen when he gets a yellow though. I'm sure I will hear him from my classroom. Another wonderful thing is that one of my good friends has a son who is in kindergarten and Luke goes over to her classroom to play with him. They get along so well. If we have a meeting that's close to my room or she has a meeting, the boys come and play in my room. What both boys have done: So far Luke has hurt himself by jumping off the table while we were in a staff meeting. They love to play swords with our pointers and Luke got one up the nose. He also broke 2 of mine while playing baseball with them. They have both been soaked from playing on the playground after it has rained. My favorite is that they found a dead cat on the playground. Mrs. Hollway told the boys to come in her room while the man got the cat. She thought they shouldn't see that, but both boys wanted to so they watched the man put the dead cat in a bag. They are becoming really good friends.

This Weekend

This weekend I decided to make announcements for when we find out what we are having. Instead of calling, we are going to send one of these announcements in the mail when we find out. So, be checking the mail to see what we will be having. I hope I can wait and not tell anyone, but we will see. We also finished cleaning out the room that will be for the baby. I'm a planner and like for everything to be done very neat and asap, that's why it would be impossibe for me not to find out what I am having. Just ask the girls I work with, they get a kick out of my neatness. Kevin also cleaned up the garage, not that it was a mess, but I wanted it organized for baby things and Christmas decorations (I plan on getting all the decorations down from the attic the Sunday after Halloween, I want my decorations to be up for a while). I would like to have everything done for the baby when it is born so that I won't have to do much (decorating wise, I know we will be super busy) when it arrives. I think it's going to drive Kevin crazy, but I told him that he will be glad when we have everything done. We find out next Wednesday what we are having and then my mom and I are going to Austin that weekend to go shopping.

A boy or girl?

We will find out what we are having on Wednesday, November 5th. I can't wait much longer.
