First Grade Sock Hop

In November (2012) Staucie had her first grade program. They had a sock hop with dancing and singing. There are 11 first grade classes in her school. So there were lots of students and families. Uncle Matt and Aunt Brittany came to watch too. She was so excited and so cute! I got to go out and dance with her and so did her dad.

Pumpkin Carving

On Halloween day we carved pumpkins after school. Staucie thought it was gross and so she used my phone to take pictures. I did it without Daniel because there was never time. Luckily I only had to carve 3 pumpkins since addie dropped one and it got smashed right as were headed out to the garage. Sorry for the pictures of me.

Trunk or Treat

We had our Trunk-or-Treat before Halloween. This year it was at a park since our [new] Stake Center has 4 wards in it. The kids had a lot of fun and I enjoyed tasting all the different chili dishes.

Parker is spider man, Bensen is Batman, and Staucie and Addie are both Clifford. Addie wanted to be like Staucie. The younger three were all supposed to be something different until the last minute. Staucie had known she was going to be Clifford since the previous Christmas. I drew a black nose on Addie’s nose too but then she got mad and rubbed it off before we made it out the door. Stinker.

Story Book Character Parade

Staucie and Parker had a story book character parade at school right before Halloween. They got to dress up as any character from a book and have a parade around the school for all the families. Staucie wanted to be Clifford the Big Red Dog and Parker wanted to be a baseball player. We had to search through all our books for one. You had to bring the book with you to school to prove it came from a story book. Luckily, after I searched, Staucie remembered a book we got from the Cherrios box that had a baseball player in it. I don’t know how she remembered that. I sure didn’t.

Driveway Movie

Our neighbors invited us to watch The Lorax movie on their driveway one night in October with them. They projected it onto their garage door. It was a lot of fun, even though I had to keep getting up to get the kids more things.

Tricks, swings, pumpkin patch, etc.

I just think their “gymnastics tricks” are so cute. Addie loves to swing on the swings but most every time it is time to go she screams and throws a fit about leaving. We go to the park almost everyday too. There are some pictures of the girls looking so pretty at Matt and Brittany’s house. And the kids at the pumpkin patch when we picked out pumpkins. And Bensen as Batman.
