First Day of Third Grade

Both were excited about going back to school (even though Avery isn't starting school yet) they were in a good mood and ready for the new school year.  You can tell Mallory is still half asleep, but awake!  Our girls are by no means morning people, they are more evening types.  We have the hardest time getting them to go to bed and an even harder time waking them up.  Getting to wear new clothes always helps making getting dress a little more appealing.  Mallory had a wonderful first day and loves her teacher and her class.  She is going to have a wonderful year and are so looking forward to her progress.  She is so smart and we are so proud of her and Avery too...next year will be really neat with Avery starting kindergarten.

Doesn't she look so cute with her new backpack that she picked out.  The night before to chose the clothes she was going to wear.  She also dressed herself and did her own hair.  She has been looking forward to this day all summer, she loves school and loves to learn.

Spring Cleanup

We have done some cleaning up in and around the house.  We made a big pile of trash in the backyard that we will haul away in the summer on a free dump day.  We put in some new flowers along the drive way and started on adding some steps leading into the backyard.  Also as you can see we moved down the wildflowers (actually I think they are wildweeds) in the backyard.

Snowy Sunday!

Today it snowed at the green house...it rained most the night and turned into snow around 10 this morning.  It snowed really hard for about 5 hours and left between 4 and 5 inches on the ground.  The girls have been bouncing off the walls wanting to go play in it.  We finally went out this afternoon and they had a blast!  Click on Mal to see all our snow pics.

Our little Trick-or-Treaters

The girls had a great time trick-or-treating.  We went to Family Fun Night at church were they got to play games, bounce in the bounce house, and have their face painted.  After that we took them trick-or-treating on our street were they got there haul of candy, which wasn't too much.  They really enjoyed the haunted graveyard that the neighbors at the end of the street put on every year.  After we finished we came back to the house and passed out candy to some late arriving trick-or-treaters, the girls love giving candy away, they even gave some of their own away.  All in all it was a fun night and everyone had a great time...bring on Thanksgiving, I'm Hungry!
