Kindergarten Love

While cleaning out Tehya's backpack from school this weekend I found these notes in the front pocket. Love notes from FOUR different boys!

I asked Tehya, "What does your teacher say about all these notes?"

She told me that one of the activity stations in her classroom is a card-making table. I'm not so sure this is what her teacher had in mind!

To make this story even cuter, I have to reveal the fact that Tehya has been talking non-stop about Conner lately. Conner this, Conner that, Guess what Conner did, Do you know what Conner said, Conner...Conner...Conner!!! I think my little girl has a crush. I almost want to cry a little bit.

Halloween Recovery

Halloween must have really worn Ada out.

She was playing in her room this afternoon and when she got quiet and I went to check on her this is what I found...she was sound asleep under her bed!

Trick or Treat!

Tehya and Ada invited their friends Leah and Jonah to go trick or treating with us. We also had Mercedes and Dominick from across the street join the party. Six kids in the yard trailer pulled by a four wheeler - now how come I didn't get that luxury when I was a kid?
Ada was thrilled with her Elmo costume. She was an absolute hoot all night saying "I Elmo Mom!" Tehya chose to be a witch this year, and decided that a pillow case is a way better way to collect candy than a plastic pumpkin!

I Elmo.

Elmo like Candy.

Mom got dressed up again this year too. Some of us adult ladies celebrated Chantel's birthday after trick or treating and had a blast! All in costume for dinner at Chino Latinos in uptown, and then the local bar crawl through Hugo. Good times!

Carving Pumpkins

Pumpkin carving was a blast at our house this year!

Ada thought the pumpkin guts were hilarious, so for about a half hour straight she just giggled non stop! It made carving very fun. At one point Tehya got a case of the giggles too because Ada was taking the guts out of her pumpkin and putting them into Tehya's! Tehya designed her own face again this year and it turned out great.

Wheelin'

Dylan and Alicia gave Ada a super cool four-wheeler for her birthday. She loves the thing! She was showing us her tricky wheelin' skills in the living room the other day. Fancy stuff!
