| Colton's harvest party |

Colton and his class had their harvest party last Friday and each of his classmates (and Mrs. B.) dressed up like a fruit or a vegetable. Can you guess what Colton was!?
They played pin the nose on the pumpkin, had a carrot toss, bobbed for apples, and ate healthy snacks!! He had such a fun day!!

• Colton's first field trip to <GREENBLUFF>

I had the wonderful opportunity to accompany Colton on his first fieldtrip (and school bus ride!) to Hidden Acres high atop Greenbluff.
The day could NOT have been more beautiful. The sun, the warmth, the colors, my special boy, EVERYTHING!
We really had a good time learning about apples, bees, and pumpkins.
We took a hay ride, went through a hay maze, and picked out the most perfect pumpkins. We finished the day with a picnic in the warm sunshine on the pumpkin farm.
First field trip -- success!

First Days

This was a big week!
Both boys started school---Parker in first grade and Colton in Kindergarten. Mom in tears and disarray. ;)

Huge chapter in all of our lives, big changes!!

Colton was SO excited to finally start school! On his first day we met at a local park for a couple of hours. Here, they played on the toys and got acquainted with each other, had an assignment, read a story, prayed, and had a snack. I love this casual first day, what a great way to get the jitters out!

Parker actually missed his "real" first 2 days of school due to a lingering fever that both boys had. He was pretty bummed. But on his real first day you could tell he was excited and nervous all the same.

When I picked each of them up they could do nothing but talk the whole way home. My heart was so happy that they loved school and also that I finally got to see them at the end of the day!!
