ok, i took the challenge...

here it is... maisy's treat bag for this halloween.  now i did mine before i got the directions from my friend joanna, so i did mine a bit different, and smaller. i figure, maisy is not going to be eating much of her candy, she didn't need that big of a bag. so i only used two sheets of felt, and i used ribbon for the handles. as you can see, maisy is going to be a ladybug for halloween.  now, i wanted to make one for miles, but he is going to be commander fox from the star wars clone wars. what the heck am i suppose to put on his bag?  if you have any clever ideas, please let me know asap so i can put one together for him. 

miles' first kinder field trip

miles' class went to windmill farms in arroyo grande with there big buddies class. miles was so excited for me to meet his big buddy.  he told me on the way to school in the morning, "mom you are really going to like my big buddy."  he was a nice boy and really watched out for miles. i think at one point they were even holding hands. we walked around the and visited with the animals, then we went under the tent, where the kids got to plant a broccoli plant and eat lunch.  it was fun

because while we were waiting, mrs. brown (buddies teacher) played a game with the kids.  before we left all the kids got to pick out a pumpkin to bring home. (watch for post with miles' decorated pumpkin)  i liked windwill farms, but not nearly as much as avila barn. i missed taking a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkin.  

my "B" boy...

miles started basketball tonight.  it's a rookie leauge.  i was a little worried when we walked in and saw the little kid nets. i thought for sure miles was not going to be happy about that.  but he didn't say a word.  so every time the kids meet they will practice and learn different techniques and skills.  then on the last day they will have a big game. miles did great and he came out and told me he loved it. i was so happy to hear that. so i'll keep you updated on his progress.

my other dancer...

while miles is at school, maisy and i have fun playing, dancing and singing songs.  today was no different.  maisy wanted to put on miles' tap shoes, so i had to take off her footie pj's (that's why she's in her diaper) she knew exactly what to do, she just started tapping away.  i was cracking up... of course when i asked her to do it again, this is all i got and after this she wouldn't do it at all... enjoy!

welcome october

i was never a big fan of halloween before i had kids. i did go to halloween parties, but i never really decorated the house. well, now that i have children, i love halloween and decorating for it. i also love getting the kids halloween clothes and jammies. having a girl makes it even more fun. so here is one of maisy's halloween/fall outfits. the leggings were a dollar at target as well as the headband. i just love the look of her stripped leggings with her black converse hightops (which were miles' when he was little). so keep an eye out for more halloween/fall outfits throughout the month.

student of the month

about three weeks ago, i got a call from miles' school informing me, he had been selected as one of the students of the month for his classroom. i kept it a secret from miles so he would be surprised when we showed up.  on september 25th, david, sam sam, auntie charlotte, maisy and myself went to his classroom to be there when he received his award. he was so excited. mr. grigsby called him up to the front of the class and told the reasons he picked miles for student of the month. he said miles was a great artist, a good friend and a hard worker.  then mr. grigsby asked the boys and girls in the class if they had anything nice to say about miles. it was really nice.  the cutest comment was from one little girl who said "miles always has nice hair".  i am so happy about miles' year in kindergarten so far. he is very happy and is excited to go to school everyday.  keep up the good work bug boy... you make mommy and daddy so proud!
