The Red Plate and the Day I Dropped the Ball...
Back on October 18th, Grace came home with a very special plate...
Seems her teacher tested them on their sight words and she was the only student in her class that knew ALL of them!! Even the ones they had not yet studied in class!
Way to go, Grace!!! Daddy and I are so proud of you!
{Nutella waffle...her favorite breakfast...in case you're wondering!}
Then Friday, October 26th, the week after our {huge fundraiser}, I was trucking along, thinking how glad I was that one of my big October projects was over...even stopped for a special treat...
And then........................dum dum dum dum...
At exactly 9:25 a.m. as I was sitting down to pay bills I looked up and noticed a spider web craft Hudson brought home from school and then I remembered...................Grace was supposed to wear black clothes to school for a Spidery themed day her class was having! What did I send her in??? A cute Matilda Jane outfit with a RED flowery cardi. Here take a look at the outfit {pic from Feb, 2012}:
So I did what any sensible (read: crazy) mama would do. I grabbed the blackest outfit she owns (a little grey and black polka dot dress from the Gap and the matching striped leggings) and dashed like a mad woman to school, Hudson in tow. A quick schedule check said she was in music class.
I pulled up to the school and had to park 2 blocks away...whaaaat??? So I grabbed Hudson and ran the 2 blocks carrying him. Seems there was a school performance for another grade - cars EVERYWHERE! Thank goodness for the sweet office staff who didn't think I was too, too crazy when I told them I was there to dress my daughter in black.
Exactly 30 minutes from the moment I realized my mistake (yes, I still pick out her school clothes...), she was changed into the cutest little "spider" outfit! When I found her at school (they were in the performing arts center), she had the cardi buttoned all the way up.
Grace: "You know why I have this buttoned all the way?"
Me: "You're cold?"
Grace: "Because it has BLACK polka dots."
{Insert major mama guilt!}
Me: "But there were lots of your classmates that didn't have black clothes..."
Grace "No, not LOTS." {double mama guilt}
Thank goodness she has a good imagination...and a forgiving heart.
Me: "Let's keep the red head wrap on with this spider hat you made and when you go back to Ms. V's class you can surprise her and tell her 'Abracadabra, I became a black widow spider while I was in the PAC!' "
Grace: {giggles} "She's going to be SO surprised!"
And here's a picture of that cute spider after school....
Crisis averted...Check!

Pig Out on Books!
I'm playing catch up to post all the fun Fall activities that the littles had in October...
The last two weeks of October were so super busy for us...lots of activities that we wanted to participate in and all of them crammed into the same couple of days. All I can say is that my littles ate more Lunchables and take out food in the month of October than they do all year long!!!!
One of these activities was Hudson's Preschool Fall Program: Pig Out on Books. Such a cute idea!!!
All week they had their book fair...
...and then on Thursday night they had a spaghetti dinner for all the families, followed by book readings and crafts for all the children. I love how the table decorations were made by the little ones...
Hudson loves the homemade playdough that his teacher makes every week.
This week's scent...Pumpkin Spice!
Cutest "Pumpkin Patch" ever!
I loved seeing all the sweet crafts his class made - love, love, love!!
These are some of Hudson's...
Hudson's age group had this sweet book read to them...
...and then they made their very own pig or puppy!
Hudson and his buddy Tori making their piggies...
It turned out soooo cute, Hudson!!
Love it AND YOU!
October is one of my most favorite months, but this year it was soooooo busy I'm so glad to say, "Hooray for November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
