Disney's Story & Pajama Night

We took the kids to the Disney Store to hear the new holiday story, Prep and Landing. The store was filled filled with children dressed for bed! They were each given juice with chocolate chip cookies and a coloring sheet while they listened to the story. Then they played a game of pictionary.

Dylan knew all the answers! :)

Kendall wore her monkey pjs and fur coat. :)

About the time she started licking her coat was when they passed out the chocolate chip cookies.

Kendall loved her first chocolate chip cookie!

Halloween in Myrtle Beach



This year we decided to spend Halloween in Myrtle Beach with friends. Saturday afternoon was nice enough for the kids to enjoy playing on the beach. The water was cold, but they each managed to get a little wet. We went to Barefoot Landing to trick-or-treat with the Scearce family. A lot of the stores were passing out candy, and it was surprisingly quite crowded. Dylan was pretty original for a 6 year-old in his Indiana Jones costume, and even Kendall appeared to be the only Elmo around. It was fun getting to see so many costumes and especially to watch Kendall trick-or-treat for the first time. She didn't know the word candy until Halloween '09! We were very impressed with how quickly she picked up on the routine of walking up to strangers, holding up a bucket, and saying, "candy"! :) She loved it!






















Hot and worn out from all of her hard work!

Thanks to Mrs. O for the loan of the bomber jacket and hat!

Our First Day of School

I can't believe it's already here, another school year. Here are a few pictures of us on the first day and of my classroom.
Can you believe Dylan is in the first grade?

I LOVE my new school. It's only 3 years old, so it is super nice!

My classroom library is already a bit messy, but I'll just assume that means that I must have students who love to read! :)
Here's my desk...

did you notice the beautiful flowers? Dave sent them to me for my first day back to work. It's wonderful to be married to Prince Charming!

California Vacation Part IV: Disneyland

Here is the last post from our California Vacation. Esther kept Kendall this day, so we could let Dylan be the center of attention at Disneyland. The three of us had so much fun together!
These first pictures were taken on two different roller coasters. Dave sat in front of me and Dylan and held the camera above his head to snap pictures. I hate roller coasters, but I agreed to go on these because they don't have big dips. They still scared me enough to produce a few screams though.
Here we go.....

ahhhhh....
Thunder Mountain Railroad...

The ride operator saw me taking this picture and then very kindly offered to take one for us!
