Spooktacular Halloween Carnival

I love a good carnival, and this one @ Connor's school was old school and really fun! Remember "the cake walk?" Yep, they had it. Except that is was a stuffed animal walk instead. Guess people don't bake so much anymore! (Hannah, you are a rare and talented gem!)
Connor's fab teachers!

The entrance to the Haunted House. . . Connor decided to go with the friends he met in line. There is strength in numbers!

Camden and The Harry Potter Obstacle Course!

The Fierce Fireballs

Season 3 for Connor & his shin guards.
He's still having fun.

Connor in action . . .

Connor's #1 fan!

Taking a little breather:

Back from the Dead

School started, my computer died, had to buy a new one, couldn't get online, finally got the wireless working, life happens.

Here's what the end of the summer looked like:

4 july 09

Fun times with Dave & Hannah on the rooftop of Whole Foods, watching the 4th of July fireworks! We sure do miss those Continentals!

Camden's 3rd Birthday Party

More from the End of School

Storybook character parade. . . . The students had to pick a character from a fiction book, and the parents had to make a costume. 2 problems: Connor isn't fond of fiction books and I had already sewn the stick horse for last week's cowpoke cookout. UGH! I used the printer @ work to make a sandwich-board type costume.





Music program -- the obligatory Texas-themed stuff. Connor displayed some killer dance moves.

Multiple choice question

"Mommy, that's not edible," quipped a saucy three-year-old after receiving his BBQ quesadilla for lunch. His mother's response was:

A. Excited that her 3-year-old used the word "edible" in an appropriate context.
B. Ticked off that another child can now diss on her cooking.
C. Nothing; she wears her ear buds 24/7 since school let out.
D. None of the above.

Ranger Game

The cousins had fun at their first Ranger game--even though we lost. Special props to Michael for getting tickets in the shade!
