October Round-Up

At the beginning of her first set of lessons, Tessa got a pass to skate once a week for free. Daddy was amazing and took Tessa every week for the whole month. They always had such a fun time together. 

 Mommy got to sneak away one evening and go to Witches Night Out at Gardner Village. I was finally starting to feel better and getting an appetite back, and even smiling somewhat normally. Then at the end of the month, the Orthodontist put rubber bands back on my braces. So much for all of that...

 Getting up for school some mornings is more than Gwen can handle.

 We went to visit Uncle Ryan at work one afternoon. 

 Tessa was in charge of one of our FHE treats this month. She found out our lesson was on the Holy Ghost and she made Holy Ghost pops for everyone. Super cute!

 School prizes...gotta love 'em.

 Caleb loved reading Halloween books this year. And watching "George Pumpkin" over and over and over and over and over again.

 The benefits of leaving crazy early for school. We love watching the sunrise. 

 If he isn't watching "George Pumpkin" he's lost in a pile of toys. 

 Mommy read a book! Really though...this is a big deal! Probably the only book I read this year that wasn't church or gospel related. I love to read and wish I could do more of it. By the time I have time to read at night, I usually smack myself in the face with the book because I fall asleep while reading. This was a good, spooky one and I loved it!

 Gwen got to wear her costume to dance class the week before Halloween. She loves her ballet class!!

 Story Time at the Library

 This should have had it's own post, but oh well. Adam received a special award at school for making the high honor roll during the first term. He really wanted to do this and worked hard to keep his grades up. He is doing 8th grade math, so it's challenging him and that is good. He was super proud of himself and we were proud of him for working so hard. 

 One of Tessa's tests that she received an A+ on was displayed on their classroom board. Mommy had Parent/Teacher Conference in October. Both teachers had nothing but wonderful things to say about both kids and they both had awesome grade first term. 

 The colors this fall have been gorgeous. This picture does not do them justice! We have enjoyed this fall season so much!
