Crazy & Happy

Seriously people, I cannot describe my level of busy.  Basically I am at a death-con 9!!!  This explains my MIA status on the blog. 

This week is Red Ribbon Week at my school.  Monday was crazy socks. 

Tuesday was crazy hair!! 

I put 3 pipe cleaners in Jillian's pigtails and braided them into her hair.  It took 2 seconds and worked perfectly the whole day. 

Today is Halloween and all 3 kids could wear their costumes to school (isn't that great?  Can you hear my sarcasm??  There was a lot of tension and tears getting these 3 in costume.  But you can't tell in the picture).  These are not their real costumes.  I am not letting them put them on till we get home for fear of ripping or spills, etc. I will give you a clue - RRRRRRRRR!!!! 

Rocco as Spiderman (well actually finger-sucking Spiderman - this is the toughest level of Spiderman)

Jillian as Belle.

Hadleigh as the Pumpkin. 

This morning we had the kindergarten 9 weeks award ceremony.  I cannot tell you how thrilled I am about how Jillian has adjusted to school.  A mommy (and a teacher) could not have wished a better experience.  She is always skipping down the halls, she always has a smile on her face and at her parent/teacher conference I heard from her teacher that she is well-behaved in the classroom, she strives to get the right answer and she is caring towards the special-needs students that visit the classroom. 

This morning she was awarded the Principal's Award for outstanding achievement for the first 9 weeks.

She received a medal and a pencil. 

She also received the award for outstanding P.E. student.  She LOVES P.E. and I think has basically charmed the coaches into doing whatever she wants.  On Fridays, P.E. hosts a dance contest and she has won a couple of times.  Her favorite songs are Firework, Baby and Call Me Maybe. 

Have a happy Halloween!!!!
