Fall Fun!

Fall is here.  The leaves are changing colors, the mornings are cooler, and the kids have already had their first sickness of the season.  This past fall break Matthew and Kinlee ended up with a nasty stomach flu.  So instead of doing all the fun things I had planned we were stuck inside disinfecting and trying to get the kids feeling better.

The Wednesday before Fall break Kinlee had her Kindergarten Park day.  They had a great time and Mrs. Penry is so much fun!  They played and played, had lunch, played some more, and had a leaf war.  You could tell all the kids really enjoyed themselves and Matthew had a great time too!  Kinlee was also in the the local newspaper!  Our superintendent posed as Christopher Columbus for her class to learn about Columbus day and Kinlee was chosen to be in the picture with him.

That night grandma Debbie had her annual witches (and monsters) party.  The kids love it so much and have really enjoyed this fun tradition.  She made them soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, magic punch, and purple cupcakes.  They played games, did a few crafts, made a magic potion, and then went on a scavenger hunt to find the wicked witch.  Matthew and Kinlee were mesmerized and loved every minute of it.  The girls and Landon had a great time too, they've just done it for several years now so they weren't quite as excited.  Connor got to dress up as the scary witch this year and was so excited to jump out and scare the kids, he looked pretty scary too, he had been hunting and had shot an elk so between the mask, crazy hair, and gross clothes he made quite an impression.
