Halloween Night

Tanaka Farm



Parker had his first field trip to Tanaka Farm in Irvine. He was so excited to ride the school bus. Lexi and I met the class there. It was a perfect way to spend Halloween day. It was fun to watch Parker interact with his classmates---he's not as reserved with them as I imagined he would be. I love his teacher and classmates and so does Parker---it makes those early mornings managable because he can't wait to get to school.

Carving Pumpkins




Pumpkin carving with the Thurmans has become a tradition for our families. The kids had such a good time and as you can see so did Steve and Alex. We enjoyed pizookies while we worked. It was a perfect night!!

Pumpkin Patch



Taylor was chosen as an outstanding student in her second grade class. The school awarded her with a gift certificate to the pumpkin patch for free ride tickets, so for Family Night we went to the Pumpkin Patch in Laguna Hills with Steve's Uncle and Aunt (Mark and Lori) and their two children (Reid and Mary), from Colorado. The kids were having so much fun until the neverending teacup ride just never ended!!! Taylor had to run for the bathroom and was green the rest of the night. I felt so bad for her---she didn't even get to use the rest of her tickets. While we were there we ran into the Zimmerman's and the Brian's. It was a fun night (for the most part---bless Taylor's heart).
