Supergirl Emma!

Emma's school had their annual Harvest Festival the weekend before Halloween. She went as Super Girl. She played games, slid on the giant slide, rode the train and the hayride. She had a so much fun!

Jack's friend Jack was Jason. Yikes! I guess nine year old boys like the scary stuff!

Jack turned nine in August, but we never had a friend party. He decided it would be fun to have a Halloween party, so we made it his birthday party! We had ten nine year old boys running through the house and yard and it was a blast! The costumes were great. We had vampires, a slime bucket, Freddy Kruger, and Jason, a football player, a skeleton and two Michael Jacksons. Jack has great friends and he had a great time!

Jack's new glasses

At the beginning of the school year Jack mentioned that the lines were moving on the paper when he was reading. Then in the car line his teacher said he seemed to be having trouble with it in class, so I made an appointment with the eye doctor. Sure enough, Jack has my far-sightedness and Adam's astigmatism. I told him he got the best of both worlds. So we ordered his glasses (camo of course) and here he is. He only has to wear them for reading and playing video games, so the real trick will be trying to teach him to keep up with them.
