Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween with both kids eating way too much candy and staying up way too late! Reagan was Pinkie Pie from the My Little Pony series and Hudson was Luke Skywalker with his light saber! We met up with some friends and did some trick-or-treating in the neighborhood! Everyone had a wonderful time!

Second Grade Swim!

One of the great things about our school district is that we are blessed to have several facilities to use! We have a very large aquatic center that the high schools utilize for competitive swim. However, part of the second grade curriculum is going to the aquatic center as well. This past week was Reagan's turn! It is pretty amazing to watch these kids learning to swim from some of the district's swim coaches! Reagan had a blast, but was definitely more tired by the time she got home this week!

Pumpkin Carving!!

Tuesday night was the night for our annual Pumpkin Carving! This year we decided to do traditional Jack-o-Lanterns instead of stencils. The kids were able to help much more this year, and really enjoyed getting the insides out of the pumpkins!

Lady Cheetahs!

Last weekend, we had Reagan's last soccer game of the fall season. She has been with the Lady Cheetahs for several years, and these girls have done a wonderful job together. They played in the U10 division, and with several of the girls playing up a division, they were definitely one of the youngest teams. They did a great job and won several games, and really started playing together as a team!

Face Painting!

We saved the face painting for last! Reagan wanted a puppy dog face and Hudson wanted flames! The ladies doing the face painting absolutely amazed me with their talent!

Church Fall Festival!

Our church has a Fall Festival every year and this is the first year that we have been able to go! They do an awesome job with games, rides, face painting and food! The best part is that it is a very inexpensive way for the kids to have a lot of fun! Reagan and Hudson both rode multiple rides and enjoyed every minute of it!

State Fair of Texas!!

Yesterday was Fair Day for the kids, so of course, we made our way to the State Fair of Texas! This is a yearly tradition for us, and the kids often do the same things every year, but still love it! We always start with the Farm, the Dog show, the Petting Zoo, followed by great fried food, Midway games and rides! It was an exhausting day, but lots of fun!!

Reagan's Birthday Party!

Reagan had her birthday party this past weekend at the Rockwall ISD Aquatic Center. It is a great place to have a party! They have several diving boards, including a high dive, a hot tub, and plenty of indoor swimming space available! She had a great turn out for the party, with 27 little girls attending, and one boy (Hudson)! They all had a wonderful time, and she got plenty of presents! I am sure that everyone was tired after the party was over!
