Jacob's Baseball Game...Here are a few pictures from Jacob's baseball game yesterday. John was the Coach this season. Jacob did so GREAT! And Jacob was so proud to have Ma Mere and Pa Pere at yesterday's game and see how good he has gotten. It was a fun day!

Jacob's Class At the Fun Run...

Fun Run...Yesterday was the Fun Run at Jacob and Julia's school. I went to cheer them on and take pics (of course). They did great! They both ran 28 laps. Woo hoo! I was very proud. Jacob's class name for the event was The Ranchers and Julia's class was The Rovers. For Julia's class, notice the red dog ears and tail in a few pictures. So cute! The boy holding Julia's hand up in the air is her friend, Patrick. He is one of a quadruplet set. The rest of his sibling's are girls. Patrick wound up in Julia's kindergarten class this year. We met them at the pool this summer and the kids always played together.

My Day...Got up at 6:15am, showered, got kids ready for school and out the door, loaded the dishwasher, sent out a few emails, went to the dentist for a cleaning, drove to Richland Hills for fingerprinting (per new sub teaching regs), went grocery shopping, picked up baseball trophies at the YMCA for Saturday's game, came home to look up new flight info for friend, put in 3 more loads of laundry, made posters for both kid's Rockin Fun Runs for tomorrow at school, coached bird who flew into the house out of the house (don't laugh...it worked!), picked up kids at school, worked on resume, sent out emails for rescheduled baseball games, made dinner, picked friend up from airport, watched head spin around on neck in the mirror, laughed uncontrollably, thanked God for all my blessings, and went to bed. Amen.

A Few More Halloween Pics...Here are a few pics from Halloween with our friends, The Pates. One cute dog, one beautiful witch, one scary witch, and two ghoulish Jason's.

Straight A's for Jacob...So proud of Jacob! Found his report card this morning in his backpack. He made straight A's (99 Language Arts, 99 Social Studies, 99 Science, and 93 Math) for this 9 weeks! He also made the highest level M=Mastery for his student conduct and study skills. We are so proud of him all the time but he has worked hard this year and his hard work is paying off! Good job Jacob!

Halloween 2009...Officially, the biggest crowd of trick or treaters I have ever seen! It really made for a festive evening to be out and about in our neighborhood. The kids and I met up with our friends, The Pates, for our 2nd annual treat or treating extravaganza. Julia was a bride and Jacob was a Clone Trooper. Then we came back to the house to finish passing out candy and watch Batman movies while we sorted through the candy loot and ate popcorn. It was a very fun evening to share with friends. I am including a few pics from last night but also a couple from Julia's dance class this week. They got to wear their costumes to class. Very cute!
