Sarah's breakfast

Sarah is now eating 2 solid meals a day, breakfast and dinner. Her breakfast is 2 tbs. spoons of rice cereal mixed with formula. But this morning that wasn't enough solids. She wanted to lick the bowl too!! She had the cereal in her hair, on both arms, both hands and all over her face. So cute. I had to grab the camera for this!

Sarah's first tooth

Over the weekend, Sarah's first tooth popped through. It is the bottom right.

Here is the forced tooth picture.

You can kind of see the little baby tooth.

Trick-or-Treating 2011

We had a blast last night. We hooked up with a couple of our neighbors and their kids so we had quite the group. The kids and the adults walked around the neighborhood for almost 1 1/2 hours. We were all frozen and tired when we finally finished.

Katelyn is a Soccer Ref this year, Sarah is our little Monkey and
I just have a wig on with my Twilight/Eclipse t-shirt.

Kris and I were trying to blind each other. I tried to get him with the camera
but I forgot he had the flashlight.

Joey Sloan (Iron Man), Katelyn Hefner (Soccer Ref), Milena Williams
(Bat girl) and Ashlie Sloan (Princess).

Our little Monkey zonked out while we were out walking around. So cute.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween this year. Love you all!!

Miss Pridemore's Fall Harvest Party

Yesterday I helped with the Fall Harvest Party in Katelyn's class. There was 3 statins set up. The first one was the fun Cookie Math table. I helped with this one!! At this station the kids were able to frost their own cookies, figure out math equations for the number of decorations (the difference of 20-19=1. That was the number of candy corn they could take) and finally eat their creation. The second station was Pumpkin Math. Here the kids had to guess how much the pumpkin weighed, count how many seeds were in it (Miss Pridemore cleaned out the pumpkin the night before so the seeds were in a baggie) and then they had to count how many lines was on it. The third station was making a Spider Hat. A lot of black paper and a lot of staples.

Sarah was dressed up for the party in her Monkey costume.

Here is the Cookie Math station. The kids had to solve 3
"decoration equations".

Here is cute Cassie eating her creation. She was dressed
has a 50's girl.

Katelyn and I at the funnest station. Like my wig? haha

Here is Katelyn's class. Miss Pridemore dressed up as one of the
Angry Birds. Check out the Spider Hats. Can you spot Monkey?

Pumpkin Patch 2011

We went out in the mud to search for 4 pumpkins. Kris and I each got one, Katelyn got her own and Sarah got her first one. We went to a pumpkin patch not far from our house off of Hwy 18 called Mosby's Pumpkin Patch. The pictures turned out so cute.

Our sweet girls are getting so big. I love this picture.

Sarah, myself and Katelyn. Wow. Katelyn is up to my chin already.

Katelyn insisted on being in charge of the wheel-borrow. She was dodging
mud puddles and smushed pumpkins left and right.

Helping in Katelyn's classroom

Since I'm a temporary stay-home mom (not sure if I'm going back to work) I've decided to volunteer in Katelyn's classroom. To start, it's on Tuesdays and Fridays in the afternoon with Katelyn coming home with me instead of taking the bus. Yesterday was my first day EVER helping out in a classroom and I had a great time. It was even better because Katelyn enjoyed me being there and I was able to take Sarah with me. Sarah was a hit with all the kids. When it got really quiet, Sarah would start making raspberry noises. All the kids, even Miss Pridemore, starting laughing. It was a great day.

Katelyn's class

Sarah was such a good girl.

Miss Pridemore is on the left and Katelyn is sitting in front of
me in the pink stripped shirt.

I can't wait for Friday!!!

It looks like she saw a ghost.

Sarah's first solids

Last night Sarah tried her first solids. It was only rice cereal with formula mixed together but she was ify about it. She gagged but some of it went down. And of course she spit some out. So cute.

Sarah is wondering WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING ME?

Maybe it's not so bad.

Eli and Sarah

Eli is Gosia's (go-sha) little boy. Gosia lives across the street from me and her daughter Melina (me-lay-na) goes to school with Katelyn. These are the first picture of the two together. Eli is 6 weeks old and Sarah is 5 months. They are so cute together!!

Sarah is trying to roll over but Eli is in the way.

Cuddling with Eli.

Sarah's playdate with the Peters boys

On Sept. 20th, Sarah and I went to my good friend Aymee's house for cookies, coffee and to chit-chat. Aymee's boys are getting so big!!

Jude is 9 months and Sarah is 5 months.

Katelyn's first soccer game

This Katelyn's 4th season of soccer and the teams are bigger. Instead of 4 girls there are 8 girls. This season they have to take turns being goalie. Being goalie you have to have beable to stand in one area but you also have to stay focused on the ball to keep the other team from scoring.

Here is a great "action shot" of Katelyn with the ball.

Posing for pictures.

Katelyn being goalie.

This season there is a ref that keeps score. We had a great first game.

Katelyn's first day of 2nd grade

Our "little girl" is in 2nd grade this year. Katelyn is going to Arthur Jacobsen Elementary and it is just 5 mins from home. But like all of her friends, she has been taking the bus in the morning and in the afternoon. I know it's just a quick drive to drop her off, it's actually been nice and convient to have the bus outside the door. Katelyn picked out her own outfit for her first day. So grown up!!
