Fall PTO Program

East Pointe Fall PTO program was performed by the Kindergarten and 1st grade. They did a great job! There were so many different costume and the kids seemed to have a fabulous time. Hannah's class sang "Dem Whacky Bones" so she was supposed to dress up as a skeleton. All we could find was this skeleton shirt but she was very happy with it.

Here is Hannah and two of her friends, Kennedy & Abi

More friends: Kennedy, Hannah and Emily A.

Hannah & Emily A.

Here is my Hannah during her performace....they got to make the "bones" sound with drumsticks...she thought it was cool that they were the only ones who got to use drumsticks.

They did a great job. On a side note, Isaac was wonderful! He sat and watched the entire program quietly. Made this momma proud!

The Transformation

Several Christmas' ago Nan & Pop got Hannah this Barbie jeep.....but she has since outgrown the it. She is WAY too tall to drive it. However, Isaac is loving driving the jeep.....even though it is pink & purple. Ha! Brian decided he could paint the jeep a more "manly" color. Guess what? He did a great job! :-) And he had help from his favorite little girl, Hannah. She loves so much to help her daddy do things....this was a sweet time for them.

TADA!!!! Here is the finished product......Camo Jeep!!

I am very thankful for a husband who loves his kids and wants to spend time with them....he is such a good man! Love you Honey!!

Student of the Month!!

We were very proud to hear that our Hannah got Student of the Month for October! She was so excited to tell me last Friday when she got in the car that I was going to get to come eat breakfast with her at school! She eats breakfast at home every morning so this was such a treat for her. They did a neat little ceremony and made a big deal for the kids this year. It was really neat!

Ms. Hannah is getting her "Student of the Month" pin. She also got a magnet and pen.

Just a sweet smile from my smart girl!

Here is Hannah racing away from Mrs. Fox after getting her certificate. The stinker was so fast we couldn't snap the picture! Ha!

This is the picture of Kindergarten & 1st Grade Students of the Month that will appear in the Greenwood Democrat. Hannah's friends Megan Christianson, Lindsey Scogin & Abi Coston also were named Student of the Month....you can see Lindsey but Megan & Abi are behind the blond lady.

Finally got a picture of Hannah with her certificate.

Here is Hannah with her teacher Mrs. Watts. We love her so much and I know without a doubt that God placed Hannah in her class. We are honored to have Hannah in her care.

I'm so proud of my Student of the Month!!! Way to go Hannah!!!

Carving Our Pumpkin

This is the first year that we have let the kids actually help carve the pumpkin instead of just watching Daddy do it. Hannah loved it, which surprises me because she doesn't like to touch icky things. She cleaned out those seeds like a pro and showed Isaac how it was done.

Isaac's turn to touch the yucky stuff. He wasn't as big of a fan as Hannah.

He was begging for his hand to be cleaned. :-)

Hannah showing us her seeds that she is keeping. She seems to think we are planting these seeds. Ha!

Here is Hannah carving the pumpkin....she really enjoyed it.

Hannah worked so hard.

So hard that she got pumpkin guts in her hair! Ha!!

She wanted me to take a picture of her being scared of the jack-o-lantern.

Here are my sweet babies posing for a picture with their jack-o-lantern. Let's see if it gets thrown away before Christmas! ;-)

1st Grade School PIctures

This year I let Hannah pick out what she wanted to wear for school pictures and it was no surprise that she picked out a dress. My sweet girl loves her dresses. :-) We straightened her hair with the flat iron (by her request) and then we got her dressed. She looked so pretty...and grown up.

Isaac has become quite the camera hog....if I am taking pictures he is yelling for me to take one of him. He keeps me laughing. So I had to include the picture of Isaac and Hannah. Love these kids so much!

Smores with no campfire!

Call us weird if you want but it was too stinkin' hot outside to make smores over a real fire so Brian came up with the next best thing.....the fireplace!! Hannah was so excited to be making smores that she didn't even care that we were doing it in the living room. Ha! They had a really good time making them but it turns out Hannah doesn't like smores. I know I know...she must be crazy! However she still had a fun time with her Daddy.

Here they are roasting the marshmallows.

Isaac cared nothing about making the smores....or eating them. He just wanted his picture taken. My sweet boy!

In the process.....she was so proud of herself!

.....and TADA!!! Considering we made them in the fireplace they tasted really good! Maybe Hannah and Isaac will get the true experience someday of making smores over a camp fire.

Torturing Isaac!

There is no big story to tell other than I was loading the dishwasher and heard Isaac screaming in the living room while Hannah was laughing really hard. I couldn't tell if Isaac was screaming for help or screaming because he was having fun. I decided I better check things out. I walked around the corner and this is what I found:

Hannah had trapped her brother in his dirty clothes hamper! He was having so much fun! They played this for a long time. There is no better sound than my kids playing together and having a blast!
