Adrian's 5th Birthday

Well Adrian is 5 years old now. He decided that for his birthday party he wanted to have a pinata. Since pinatas are not allowed at Pump It Up I told him he could have his party at a park but he wanted to have it at the house. He chose an "army" theme. So we had a lot of camouflage things to decorate with and we wore camouflage attire. We ended up having about 22 kids and 20 adults at the house. The weather cooperated enough that much of the party was spent outside. Adrian had a great time and loved being able to "finish off" the pinata.

Morgan's First Report Card for Second Grade

Once again Morgan received straight A's. The grades are as follows:
Reading: 96
Writing: 96
Spelling: 97
Math: 99
Social Studies: 97
Science: 98
She also received 3 ribbons. She got a gold one for Good Conduct, a green one for Perfect Attendance, and a blue one for "A" Honor Roll. The comments from her teacher were "Conscientious student" and "Strives hard to do their best". We are so proud of her!

Here is her school picture.



I promise that I brushed her hair that morning. It turns out that second graders were the last to be photographed that day, after recess and P.E. At least she has such a pretty face and winning smile.

Home Improvements

Here are some before and after shots of the improvements we made to the house. I was hoping that we would have the front doors in by now but there were delays with the manufacturer and we probably won't have them for a couple of more weeks. I'll try to remember to update with photos once they are in.

Halloween

One of Adrian's friends had a costume party for his birthday a couple of weeks ago and Adrian was the blue Power Ranger and Morgan was Hannah Montana.



Morgan decided not to be Hannah Montana on Halloween night because we found out that it was supposedly the hottest costume of the year for girls. So Morgan decided to be a witch instead. It was funny that as we were walking around at the shopping center Morgan turned to me and said, "I didn't realize being a witch was such a popular costume." There were a lot of people dressed as witches but all the costumes were different. Morgan was by far the cutest witch there.

The kids had a great time trick-or-treating with their friends at the Panther Creek Shopping Center last night. Hans was Buzz Lightyear, Elle was Elizabeth Swan, Michael was Mario, Morgan was a witch, Adrian was the blue Power Ranger, and Ryan was "The Boss". They got lots of candy.
