Crazy Hair Day

Crazy hair day at school today. Allie and Luke designed their own looks.

Turkeys in Disguise

I guess a big thing here in schools at Thanksgiving time is to make a disguise for a turkey. Here are the disguises the kids made.

School Thanksgiving Lunch

The kindergartners had a special Thanksgiving lunch at school and invited the parents. We had a Thanksgiving dinner lunch and it wasn't too bad. All of the kids wore headbands and vests.

Luke and Kate

Luke and Kate have a funny relationship. Kate knows that Allie ranks above her in the family and gets to boss her around, but Kate thinks that she and Luke are on the same level. She is very playful and sometimes a little too rough. She definitely loves him though and he is very patient with her.

Coloring Contest

Our apartment complex had a coloring contest. Allie and Luke both won first prize for their age group. Here's a picture of them picking up their prizes. Their pictures, along with the other entries and on the door behind them. (Allie and Luke were the only entries!) They don't care though--they are just glad they won. It reminded me of when I was little and I entered some coloring contests. I remember there was one at the Disco supermarket. There was another too where the weatherman would put your picture on the weather page in the newspaper. I checked that thing for years but I never saw my picture there. How sad! Luke felt bad that I never won. On the way back from picking up his prize he said, "Mom, I'm sorry you never won a coloring contest. Maybe you will win one in the next life." So until then, I can just be proud that MY kids won!

Trick or Treat

On Halloween as we were getting costumes on (and before I fixed her hair) Kate opted for the trick instead of the treat and emptied a shelf on the bookshelf.

The best part is if you zoom in on the picture and read the poster on the bookshelf. Very fitting.
