Halloween

Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2018 by Laura

We celebrated Halloween by sending both kiddos to school in their costumes. Alex had a parade and we got to see his classmates costumes. Afterwards AJ and I were the room parents for the Halloween party and helped the kids with a craft. I did a shape bat and AJ did a cotton ball ghost. I had fun prepping both these for the class. After a quick lunch at the local taco bell/KCF with a sighting of The Colonel who ended up ordering Taco Bell, I went to Brooke’s class to volunteer. After school AJ and I got into costume. Before heading out for the night, I decided to show my costume to the neighborhood kids in a unique way. We went to a neighborhood party for dinner before trick-or-treating. The kids were really into it this year, running from house to house. We even used the storage in the walker to dump their pumpkins once and they filled them up again. Everyone had a great time!

Williamsburg Girls Trip

My friend Maia and I went away for the night to Williamsburg. We started off in Colonial Williamsburg with a carriage ride and some window shopping. Then lunch and a massage at the Salt Spa. We checked into our hotel, soaked in the hot tub then went to dinner at Le Yaca. The next day after breakfast and checking out we went to the Williamsburg Winery for a wine tour/tasting then lunch at Archer Tavern. We drove home late afternoon to be back before dinner. It was a really fun time!

Ninja and Gymnastics Class

Posted on Thursday, October 11, 2018 by Laura

The kiddos have been taking gymnastics for two months now which means they both earned the privilege of a uniform for their commitment. Alex’s class is called little ninjas which is part gymnastics, part parkour, all fun. Brooke is taking traditional girls gymnastics and loving it. She did her first solo handstand and is working on one legged balance on the high beam.

Alex’s Farm Field Trip

Alex’s Pre-K class took a field trip to Hickory Ridge Farms to learn about animals, plants, and pick pumpkins. Luckily AJ was off work and could come too. At the end Alex finally got what he had been asking for all summer- to ride a pony.
