Halloween Fun


We took the kids to Trunk or Treat at church last night. Notice, if you read an earlier post, that I didn't get Abby's robot costume together. Grammy saved the day and found this gold sequined dress so she could be a pop star. You can't really see her hair and her knee high black boots, but it was pretty cute. (She's pictured with her A #1 pal, Taylor.) Cooper had to go to "school" as his favorite storybook character. We chose a train engineer from "Thomas" or "The Little Engine that Could."

It's hard to believe that it's already November. Of course, deer season opened today, so Tim was gone well before daylight. I was thinking October had been especially busy, but November's looking about as bad. Abby's got three more softball games left in this fall season before we take a break for the holidays. Cooper's annual Early Childhood Intervention evaluation is scheduled for the Thursday before Thanksgiving, so his various therapists are trying to squeeze in as many visits as possible.

I'm going to be observed by representatives from 15 schools around our region on the 17th and am already having to spend quite a bit of time getting my activities ready for that day. It's actually a program set up by the Promethean company (I think). Our school has been chosen as a model school to showcase the use of Promethean boards, Activotes, and ActiveSlates in classrooms. Three classrooms were chosen and I'm the one demonstrating the use of the board and it's tools as I actually use it to teach my class.

Pray for the election this week and GO VOTE if you haven't already.
