First, she became an official Girl Scout Daisy. (I was never a Girl Scout as a kid, but both of us are just loving it!) I went to her investiture ceremony at school. She received her vest along with a certificate, a pin and a few patches...I apologize to you Girl Scout scholars, I'm still learning what all these things represent.

Big Pop and G.G. walked over to give some first day of school hugs.
Rocco & Sloan - The Monkey Class
Our biggest struggle with adjusting to Kindergarten was the schedule. The longer days with little naptime made for some cranky kids the first couple of weeks. These guys are used to 1 1/2 to 2 hour naps every.single.day. They do have rest/nap time at school, but it's just not the same. Their little bodies have adjusted though (and we still nap on the weekends - I just can't let go that easily) and I must say I have become quite fond of a 7:30 bedtime!
Madden & Jagger - The Owl Class
So Kindergarten - here we are. Crazy!

Halloween 2012
Well, y’all know how much fun I have with this costume thing, right? I just love it. BUT I have a feeling this may be my last year to “convince” the kids that my costume ideas are the best! In fact, I think I almost lost that battle this year. One of my monkeys wasn’t so sure on my ideas and was adamant on being a clown. His mind was made up. Luckily, I came up with three other costumes that went with a clown and it actually made for a very cute group theme. Thanks for that Jagger!
So the circus we would be. Eh, not a far stretch.
HUGE thanks to my mom for making the costumes! An idea/design only pays off if you have someone to execute it and she did it awesome! And actually, she made Jagger’s clown costume 36 years ago for my brother, Travis. Check this out…
And now introducing….Jaggy the Clown!
And next up the SENSATIONAL elephant trainer…
Every elephant trainer needs an elephant!
And HERE is our own little circus monkey…
And finally, no circus would be complete without a Ringmaster! Meet…
And all together…
It is the GREATEST show on Earth! At least, I think so!
Every year we have a party with lots of kids. I wish I would have thought to take a big group picture every year. Maybe we will start it next year! But here are some party guests I did snap pics of…
Gavin the jailbird! (Hopefully this isn’t a picture of things to come )
So that’s another Halloween behind us and a great one for the memory books. Our fourth Halloween. Wow. That is crazy. Here’s a look at our Halloween past…
