Conferences and Tooth

I just got home from conferences for the girls. Can they really be old enough for these? As odd as it sounds, I actually like that this preschool does these. I got to sit and talk with their teacher about each one of them. They are all doing very well and adjusting to school very well. They let out little whoops and screams when we pull in the parking lot. They are so excited! Their teacher sees them playing with each other the most and thinks as the year goes on they will begin to branch out and play with others in the class. We plan to get their speech evaluated--only because it is sometimes hard to understand them.

In other news, and this I am not quite ready for, Jack has his first loose tooth! He bit down hard on a bottle top yesterday and his bottom right tooth is loose. He was playing with it the whole way home. I suppose they have to get lose and come out at some point, but I don't want him to grow up any faster! We will see how long the tooth wiggles before it comes out.

Fort Wayne Pictures

Here are some pictures that Uncle Mike took this past weekend while we were visiting family in Fort Wayne.

Applesauce

Grandmom and Granddad watched the kids while we went to the funeral. Jack was given the choice of staying with Grandmom and Granddad, or going to the funeral. He told us it was a "hard, hard decision" but in the end made his decision to see Grandmom and Granddad because he would see the Fraziers later on after the funeral. Grandmom made applesauce with the kids and they also went for a walk. Here are some of the pictures I downloaded off my mom's camera.

Halloween Cookies

I have been meaning on making Halloween cookies with the kids for a few weeks. So today, I did. We invited Helen over and Jack had his buddy from school coming over after school for a play date. When Sean got here, his sister Catherine stayed to decorate a few too. It went fairly well. Some mess, which is to be expected, but overall, the kids had a blast!

Ready to go!

Notice the knot on the side of her hair (left side). She is a hair twirler.

We cleared the little girls away and the older kids had a turn.
