My Little Shopping Helper

I dropped Evan off at school early this morning and Eliana had the day off, so we went shopping to go and pick up supplies for some Crock Pot chicken noodle soup. Got all the ingredients but forgot the noodles. Luckily, I don't have I put them in until the last minute, so I'll let the chicken cook for a few hours and get the noodles later. Anyway, Eliana was helping me push the shopping cart around and picked a few items out for herself. We're both feeling a bit under the weather, so we were having a quiet day inside watching Spongebob reruns.

It's that time of year...

Here's a great Christmas drew on the chalkboard in our classroom.

Happy Thankgiving

Evan's Kindergarten class had a Thanksgiving Show this week. Evan and his classmates did an excellent job performing some really cute and funny songs about Thanksgiving. There were Pilgrims, Indians, and Evan and his friends were Turkeys! Evan had quite a fan club there with Daddy, Mommy, Eliana, Nana, Poppop, and even cousins Frankie and Ava came to see the show.

Here comes Evan and his classmates. He spotted me from rather far away. He probably knew just to look for the bald head and the camera.

Evan and his friends as turkeys. I'm so glad he's beginning to like having his picture taken. This was while they were lining up just before the show was about to start. 

Just before the show started I noticed a few of the girls crying, clearly overwhelmed, by the large crowd of waiting parents, it just seemed like it may have been a bit too much for some of the kids. When Evan got to the stage, standing in front of the crowd, I noticed Evan rubbing his eyes. I thought he may have just been tired so I asked him about it afterwards. He said he was starting to cry a little bit and seemed a bit embarrassed about it. I told him it was okay and gave him a great big hug. I also told him how proud he made me, and that he really did a great job. Maybe was just feeling a little overwhelmed. I had to explain to him what overwhelmed meant but I think he understood. 

Evan and his class did a GREAT JOB on their Thanksgiving Show. Afterwards, all the parents were invited to a 'feast' back in the lunchroom near their classroom. So proud of this little boy. 

Eliana wanted me to take her picture at the show, so here she is looking as cute as ever.

Our Ballerina

Look at our little ballerina! She's all dressed up in her "Sugar Plum Fairy" outfit for "The Nutcracker" next month. Saturday was photo day for all of the ballerina's at Eliana's ballet school.

Look at how beautiful!

Halloween Night.

We lost Evan's skeleton mask, but I think the makeup turned out even better! Makeup by Mommy & Daddy.

All ready for a night of trick or treating! Video to follow. They really had a great night. We ran into some of Evan's friends from his Kindergarten class and we went trick or treating with them. 

Trick or Treat!

Evan had his Halloween Parade today. He went as a skeleton. The parade was really cute. I'll post video of Evan and Eliana's parades later. We'll be out and about Trick or Treating tonight! Eliana told me she wants to go in her Red Crayon outfit, but she changes her mind by the minute, so, we'll see.

Mommy painted Evan's face in class this morning before the parade.

There he is! Our handsome skeleton.

Nana, Poppop, and Eliana wait for Evan to go by in the Halloween Parade.

After the parade, there was an assembly for the kids where they had a laser show!

Eliana's Pre School Halloween Parade

Eliana sure made a beautiful Snow White at her Halloween Parade at school on Tuesday. The kids were so cute. Her friend Aisley was also Snow White, and there were lots of other princesses,

an Eagles football player, plenty of Spidermen, and Ironmen.

Eliana had some nice matching Snow White shoes on, but I think she had a hard time getting used to walking in them, as you'll see in the video when I post it later.
