Happy Halloween!

It has been really busy around here lately! This week at school was really hectic. The kids were really excited about Halloween. I feel as though I got nothing accomplished!! Yesterday, I had some parents come and help with pumpkin activities and then they carved them. It was fun. The kids liked digging all the pulp out. They were amazed at how many seeds were in a pumpkin!! Then last night my friend Crystal and her little boy, Asher and Grant and I all went to the park for some fun. Asher was dressed as a penguin! He was so cute. Grant was none other than Superman! We let them get down and play on the slide and swing and Grant's little cape was just flying in the wind! It was so cute. We didn't stay but for an hour and as soon as we left, Grant passed out!! It totally wore him out! Which is good because it gave me the time to make treats for my class party and Grant's daycare party. I made chocolate covered marshmellows with sprinkles. They turned out good. I am so not a cook. I did figure out...DUH....after the first marshmellow that you should let the chocolate cool somewhat before you attempt to cover the marshmellow or .......YEP...it will melt!! HAHA!!
Grant's first party was today! I am so glad that my principal let me go. She is so wonderful and understanding. It was fun!!He has a new little buddy...Kolton. He is the sweetest thing! I can't wait to get the two of them together to play.

Well, not much news here...just busy with school! Grant is talking and saying more words everday. It is so amazing to see how quickly they learn.
Elmo Live is coming to Jackson next weekend! Boomer and I debated on whether or not to take Grant. I think we decided that he was too young and would be disinterested in about 20 minutes. Though he loves Elmo, we would probably have to leave WAY early because he would want to get up and walk and run!!! I wish that we could do more things! Like the fair.....uh- I don't think that would have worked well for a 1year old! This is really an inbetween stage. I think next year when everything rolls back around..like the circus and the fair, it might be better and more worth the money!
I can't wait until Halloween. A friend of mine and her little boy are going with Grant and I to the park for some fun the night before. The city is having a big "To Do" there and sounds like fun! Grant is going to be Superman!! I can't wait to take pictures and let you all see!! Sorry for the "Boringness" but not much is going on!! OH....If anyone has any great ideas on Christmas gifts around Grant's age, let me know. I want to get him things that I know are good and not a waste. We have couple of those. My best friend Jessica, has given me some ideal gifts that her little boy had at that age last year and we may use some of those. Thanks Jess!

Christina and all you other dentist people I know are dying at this picture!! Trust me it is the only sucker he has ever had and hasn't had one since! Because daddy was having one, he HAD to have one too! I thought it was pretty cute. We brushed his teeth really good afterwards! Do I get brownie points for that? :)


Boomer found these Elmo shoes at Target! Aren't they cute! Grant likes them on...for a little while!


He also likes to play Peek-a-Boo behind the curtain!!!


I finally got my hair cut! It feels so much better. I read on someone's blog that cutting your hair feels like therapy and they are totally right! You just feel better! I tried to let it grow out but it looks like I will have short hair forever!! :)
