Super school girl!

Emma is sporting her face paint from her super hero after-school crafts class today.  She also decided it was okay for me to take her picture with her honor certificate from school for being a good worker.  She was one of the kindergartners recognized for as being a "star student" for the month of October.  Way to go Super Student!  We're so proud of you!!!

Grammy and Grampy time

The girls kept Grammy and Grampy busy during their visit to us.  Emma got to show them around her new classroom and take Grammy trick or treating.  Lots and lots of fun having grandparents in town--the girls felt spoiled with all the attention they received!

Silly Girl

Trying on her new silly smiley face!

Japanese Gardens

The colors and views at the Japanese Gardens were amazing!  It felt as if we were standing in the middle of a bunch of paintings.  

Happy Halloween!

The Incredible Hulk and skeleton baby wish you a very spooky & sweet Halloween!

Party girl

So Emma had not one, but TWO costume parties on Halloween!  First her party at school with her kindergarten class--an afternoon filled with a costume parade around school, trick or treating in the gym, yummy snacks in her classroom, and topped off with a few rounds of "Boo Bingo"!  Then in the evening she was off to her friend Rory's house to help celebrate his birthday.  It was super cute seeing all the super heros, skeletons, pirates and princesses eating pizza and cupcakes and getting their trick or treat on!  

Slappy cakes = happy cupcakes

Or insert your own food themed name for your kiddos!  At any rate, making your own pancakes right at your table definitely scores high as a favorite place for Emma!  Ken and I aren't convinced though.  We rather enjoy someone else cooking our breakfast when we go out to eat!  :~)
