PreSchool Parent Day

On Wednesday Joe, Noah, and I got to go to Chloe's preschool for Parent's Day. I loved getting to see her interact with her teacher and classmates and having her show off some of the things she has learned so far.

Joe got to help Chloe make a pilgrim hat

The kids all showed us a book they had been working on and took turns each reciting a page

Then they sang us cute little songs!We are grateful Chloe is in such a fun class with a wonderful teacher and new friends!

October-Fest

Being as we had no other choice, there was no better month to live at Grandma's house than in the month of October. We had an eventful month and enjoyed sharing it with Grandpa, Grandma, and DJ in their home!

We started the month with a Hubbard family trip to Lagoon. Chloe and Noah LOVED the rides and, even without naps and staying up WAY late, were perfect. This was one of the most enjoyable family outings we've had so far. We created and decorated a haunted house with all of the cousins:

We had silly moments with scary suckers...and scarily long socks
We got together with our friends, Chad and Kristina, and their kids, Isabelle and Christian and painted pumpkins!

We celebrated Halloween - with Chloe (requiring hair, face, and all aspects of her costume to be pink) as Thumbelina:

and Noah, as an Ewok
We got to take a picture with Gladys - Grandma's special friend that left treats daily in the month of October for all her good little kiddies. All the Hubbard cousins: Raegan, as Ariel, Riley, as a dalmation, Camden, as Darth Vader, Jack, as Jack-Jack, and Hadlee, as ToTo

While full of ups, the month also had a few downs and I know it was no accident that we stayed with my parents during the time that we did. Heavenly Father knows so much more than we, and although I wondered why the timing would work out like it did, I now know it was HIS plan and I am grateful for the opportunity we had to be there! Instead of a trick, it was a real treat! Happy October!!

Where To Start?!

Yay!!! My computer has internet again!!! I have no idea where to start, so I will start at the beginning - or the end, depending on how you look at it - the beginning of going without our computer, and the end of living in our old/first house.

Right before we moved Chloe was able to go on her first field trip with her preschool. We got to go to a pumpkin patch / corn maze / pig racing / fun place called BlackForest Farm. We had a great time. Here are some of the things we enjoyed about this trip:

Getting to have her neighbor and fellow classmate, Cadence, to play with

Picking her own pumpkin and have it picked off the vine

Tasting a carrot pulled fresh from the ground Watching cute little piglet races
Climbing up and sliding down a huge hay slide Having Daddy and Noah along for the (hay) ride - doesn't Noah look so excited?! He actually loved that he got to come with Chloe - he always wants to stay with her at preschool when I drop her off
There's a lot more to get to and I need to catch up soon, because with the holidays fast approaching, I am only going to get further behind. We are loving our new house and neighborhood so far and will post pictures of that soon too. As soon as I have the energy...
