Persistent Panther Award

Last week Skylar was awarded the Persistent Panther Award for the month of October.  Her teacher emailed us earlier in the week to let us know she was going to be receiving the award.  We kept her in the dark all week about it.  When they announced her name she didn't realize we were there, but once she saw her Dad she just lit up.  We couldn't of been more proud of our girl! She is rocking Kindergarten!

Skylar's Kindergarten Class Picture

Red Ribbon Week

Here is a picture of Skylar and her classroom celebrating Red Ribbon Week!

October 2015

Skylar loves meeting up with her classmates Liam and Lucy to walk to school in the mornings.

Skylar and Sophie had a fun trip to the pumpkin patch one afternoon.

Skylar's really good friend Ellie had her 5th Birthday Party with real My Little Ponies.  The girls got to ride the ponies up and down the sidewalk of our neighborhood for almost and hour. They were all in heaven.

Jess hosted her annual pre halloween get together for the kids.  The kids made mummy hotdogs!

Lauren took the kids for a fun afternoon at the local Pumpkin Patch.

Halloween 2015

The kids new happy place is watching cartoons on Netflix's.  While in their happy place they became hooked on Justice League, a cartoon about superheros.  So a couple months ago when I asked them what they wanted to dress up as for Halloween they both gave the same answer, "Super Heros!"  Madden knew right away he wanted to be Batman so I went with Robin.  Then I found Skylar the cute Wonder Women costume and Jake had no choice but to be Superman.

Batman refused to take part in the superhero family photo. He told us he would only take the picture if Mama or Dada took it.  He doesn't quite understand that that defeats the purpose of a family photo...haha!

Wonder Women and Pocahontas!

Robin, Pocahontas, and Queen Elsa.

Sam was the highlight for several little girls, she was practically a celebrity that night.

 The kids did a good 45 minutes of trick or treating. I stayed with them for about 15 minutes and then headed back home to pass out candy while Jake continued on with the kids.

Once the kids got back they helped me pass out candy.  They were such good helpers.  It was a long 2 1/2 hours of passing out candy.  The kids stuck to my strict rules of one piece of candy per kid and only two pieces for any Batmans or Robins.  

Skylar had a mini preschool reunion at one point during the night when Emma and Daniel showed up at the same time to trick or treat at our place.  

Skylar even run into her classroom bestie Lucy.

After all their friends showed up Skylar and Sophie were off playing with them and it was just Batman and I.  Madden was such a trooper.  He stood out there for a long time with me passing out candy to all the kids.  We got a lot of "WoW...it's Batman and Robin," and Madden just loved that. 

By 8:30 the night was dying down and we were able to just hang with everyone.  

John Smith and Pocahontas getting their grind on and Robin in stealth mode.  Not too sure what Superman was doing at that point.

 By the end of the night we figured we passed out about 1000 pieces of candy to probably around 800 kids.  Our street is the place to be for Halloween.  It sees the most activity all night and the non stop amount of trick or treaters is something unreal.  Nothing is better than Halloween on Peppertree Way!  

Harvest Day Parade

Have I mentioned how much I'm loving elementary school for Skylar.  The school, teachers, parents have all be so wonderful.  Skylar is so happy to go to school everyday, she is making the sweetest friends, and she is just really blossoming into an amazing student.  

On Friday the school held their annual Harvest Parade for all the kids to parade around in their Halloween Costumes.  The kindergartners started it off by going through each classroom and picking up the students.  Madden and I had so much fun watching Skylar participate in it, and I don't think she could of been any cuter.

Skylar and her friend Lucy.  Lucy is definitely Skylar's best friend in her class.  She is all she talks about when we ask her who she hung out with at school each day.

Crazy Hair Day

When we asked Madden how he wanted to do his hair for Crazy Hair day at school he said he wanted it to look like a Shark.  I even got blue hair spray, but when it was time to finish off the shark look he refused the blue spray.
