October fun

October is flying by and we have had a lot of fun. This past Friday was the 1st grade class social for FBCA. This is an opportunity for all the parents of 1st graders to get to know each other a little better, and for all the kids to play and enjoy some pizza. It was held in the cafetorium. My girls were EXTRA excited because their friend, Skye, was going to be coming home and sleeping over that night.

Side note: Skye's 8 year old brother, Max, who is a 2nd grader at FBCA was just diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer .
He was having his first chemo treatment Friday night and had to stay overnight at the hospital. His parents were with him, so Skye got to be with us! :) If you think about it, please pray for little Max. He is facing a very long, hard battle.

 Kennedy and Skye are in the same class at school

 

After about an hour at the social, all the girls changed into their costumes and we went to our church's fall festival.  (Yes, this was a very long night after a very tiring work week, but the kids were thrilled)

 The big girls went as cheerleaders and Jillian went as Super girl! 

Please note....we are not longhorn fans really. Their Grandma found these cute outfits at a good price and since my girls aren't THAT into Halloween we hate to spend a lot of money on costumes. They had no idea what was on their outfit or why people kept making comments  (for and against ) all night! LOL.  They were cute in them though and that's all that matters, right???? :)

 SUPER GIRL!!!!!!!!

 It was a Trunk or Treat event and this was Jillian's favorite..... Angry Birds! :) 

There were some REALLY creative cars this year!

 Waiting in line for the bounce houses and super slides

 Whew! Tired little girls and SUPER tired parents.  Ready for home!

 

The big girls slept in one room together, while Jillian had a "sleepover" in mommy and daddy's room. This worked better for everyone and she was happy with this arrangement.

After breakfast and some play time, we headed to a local pumpkin patch for some more fun!

 Next up: Face painting! Everyone got a cupcake on their face, except for Kaitlyn...she chose a football. (Go figure)

We left the pumpkin patch and headed to CFA for some lunch. The girls were so giggly and had such fun.  :) When we got home, they went outside and painted their pumpkins. 

Working hard!

They played out in the front yard for most of the evening doing cartwheels, back bends, sidewalk chalk, charades and more!
Monday is the 50th day of school and all of Kindergarten is dressing up in 1950's attire!! It's gonna be sooo cute. I'm looking forward to it.
