Happy Halloween

Mikaya joined right in, with all the Halloween party activities, today at Avery's school. Coral came in to help also. I'm so glad she was there! We needed her help! Avery was "Word Girl", a super hero from PBS and Mikaya was Minnie Mouse.



Avery is loving Kindergarten and has a sweet and very talented teacher. My visiting teacher is the PTA president at Avery's school and asked me to be the room parent volunteer for Avery's classroom. I have loved being able to do some teacher stuff again, without the whole responsibility of being the teacher.



So, the other day, Avery comes home from school and says, "Do you know what a zombie is? It's a dead person who walks around like this", as she showes Curtis what a zombie does.

Curtis: "Where did you learn that?"

Avery: "From my teacher because I'm learning lots of things at school; like Spanish!"


A little while later Avery offers us this little piece of wisdom...............

Avery: "If you get bitten by a spider, hurry and run and tell a human, or your mom and dad."

(I like how she said OR your mom & dad....what does she think we are......zombies?)







I thought I'd put a few Halloween photos up before October is over! We carved pumpkins the other night.




A baby quilt that Coral made for personal progress. Isn't it pretty! She is going to give it to charity.





Avery getting up in the morning before she reads her Book of Mormon, prays, eats breakfast, brushes her teeth, makes her bed, and of course gets herself dressed. On some mornings, Curtis volunteers for a morning read program in Avery's classroom, before he goes to work. We like to walk the five or six blocks (over the bridge, through some secret pathways we've found) to her school.
