School's Back with a Vengeance

One thing I love about school is all the fun activities my kids get to participate in. Each grade is responsible for putting on a program for the parents "to see how much they have learned". Isaac's kindergarten program was pretty early in the year, but it was still cute.


They sang a song and recited a poem for the parents. They were so proud of themselves.

This year was the first annual 3K fundraiser for the school. Caleb and I decided to job/walk it and had a ton of fun. It was cute to see how many people pulled out chairs and sat in their lawn cheering the kids on as they ran.


After the race, they had a safety fair with a fire truck, ambulance, and police motorcycle to look at.

Every grade has a Moms and Muffins/Dads and Doughnuts morning. Parents come and read with their child while eating a treat. Isaac had his Moms and Muffins last month and Caleb's is this month.

Finally Caleb had his grade program. It was a halloween theme with songs, poems and a reader's theater (play).


Isaac's favorite part was the "O My Darlin Frankenstein" sing a long. They did such a good job.

All these activities may be a lot of work and keep us all busy, but the kids sure love them!

Halloween...Mario style

For Halloween this year, we went with a Super Mario theme. The boys love playing Mario kart and were so excited to dress up like the characters.


Caleb was Mario, Isaac was Luigi, Noah was Wario, Seth was a goomba, Mike was Waluigi, and I was Princess Daisy. It was so fun and easy to make the costumes.


Isaac had his Kindergarten costume parade at school Friday morning.


Caleb had his parade after lunch with the entire school. It was a little crazy, but fun to see all the different costumes. Isaac was happy to join in the parade, since we were helping at Caleb's class party.


Mike took the boys trick or treating on Saturday night. Eventhough it was a little rainy, they brought home a ton of candy. Now it is time for detox! :)
