All Saints Parade

Alex's class dressed up as saints instead of the usual Halloween costumes..it turned out real cute! One of the many Catholic school ideas!

Awesome Assembly

The kids school had a Veterans day assembly on Wednesday it was very touching!

Trick or Treat

This just says it all!

Class Trip

Alex's first grade class went to Green Meadows Farm last week and what a blast! I always love going in October being that it is the pumpkin patch season. The farm is such a great place as it is like the biggest petting zoo you've ever seen.I personally love the hayride and the train myself. Anyhow the kids all had a great time together and a wonderful learning experience.Can't wait to do it again next year!

A Day at the Farm

Sunday afternoon we traveled down to Bradenton to attend the annual pumpkin fest.I must say I felt like I was in NJ! There was scarecrow displays,produce,hayrides and a corn maze. The weather was 70 so it was a perfect day! We ate so much fair food I couldn't fit into my pants this morning!!!!! The kids got huge pumpkins which we will be carving this week. The one mishap was I forgot to charge up my camera battery and only got 6 shots....oops!

Downtown Disney Afternoon

BOO!

We all had a great time at Sea World this past Sunday for the Halloween Event! Trick or Treat stands are set up around half the park while characters are dressed and putting on shows.It was so hot though, a whopping 95 degrees...yikes!

Alex and Christopher in the Abby maze! Mr Pumpkin Man!

SEAWEED PEOPLE!

What a great Day!

Wordless Wednesday

Finally!

Alex and Christopher went back to school today. Alex is in 1st and Christopher is in pr-k4.They were so excited to start the real deal. I'm glad they have tons of friends to make the transition easy.They had them already writing and drawing away as all us parents were taking pics and video.They are going to have a great year.

GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL

Yesterday was our annual meet your teacher night. Alex and Christopher have wonderful classes this year so it's going to be fantastic. As we walked into each class the kids didn't even look around they went directly to their friends that were there. So I guess I don't have to worry about them LOL! Alex has a desk now so she is so happy. She told me the tables are the for the little ones! Her room is quite grown up. I was amazed on how different the classrooms were betweeen kindergarten and 1st grade. Christopher has a really cute pre-k room with lots of toys so he was thrilled. I can't believe they will both be gone full time.

SCHOOL STARTS THIS WEEK

A PIC FROM LAST YEAR

Lighthouse Memories

Our summer has been going very fast and we are trying to fit in as many day trips as we can before school starts so I came up with the idea of visiting the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. The kids have never been to one so I thought that might be a COOL learning experience. The museum actually has the buildings of where the innkeepers had stayed and the original lenses are on display dating back to 1887. Alex and Christopher could not wait to climb to the top it's 203 steps....yikes! I'm just glad their not afraid of heights. It was a beautiful sight once we got to the top.
