Busy having fun!

This is a picture of our budding gymnast. We went to a birthday party at the gymnastics place and Anna was totally in her element. She could care less about the other kids, she wanted to try everything. She hopped up on this balance beam (not very low to the ground as you can see) all by herself and walk across without any help! Anna loves to play "going to sleep." She decided that she and her friends along with Daddy would take a little nap.

Anna wanted to do her own hair for church last week. Let's hope she will let me do it this week as she will be singing up front with her class! :)

She has discoverd the art of paint! She used her Halloween money from Grandma B and Papa to buy herself some paints! Thanks Grandma and Papa!

Fun Days!!!

As you can see we have just had a grand old time over the past week. Anna has just been soooo excited about Halloween. It is so fun to watch her eyes light up when she saw other kids in their costumes and all of the treats she received. She really understood how this whole Halloween thing worked this year, so she just had a blast. She started the day with a party at daycare, then I picked her up early to go trick or treating at Daddy's work, then we finally made it home to trick or treat in the neighborhood. We only went to our close neighbors because she was pretty much done and had more than enough candy! Auntie Shannon stayed at our house and passed out candy while we took Anna around the neighborhood. Thanks Auntie Shannon!! Surprisingly we had a lot of candy left, we did not have a ton of kids come this year. Good for me as I can put that in my treasure chest at school (as if they will need anymore candy! :)

I had parent/teacher conferences Thursday and Friday (to add to all of the excitement!) 23 out of 25 parents came, so that is a pretty good turn out for me! I will have to hunt down the other two and hope I can lure them in some how! Sadly the two conferences that I didn't have were the ones that needed it the most.

Otherwise, all is well from here! I cannot believe that today is the first day of November! When I was working on lesson plans yesterday, I couldn't believe that we only have three full weeks until Thanksgiving! I love this time of the year, more fun times to be had!!! :)
