Best friends are hard to find.

So keep them close!

Is it too Early to shop for Christmas?

I don't think so! I have been talking to Aurora about her wish lists! I'm trying to keep this updated as much as possible - she is a very diverse kiddo!
here is the link to her amazon list: http://amzn.com/w/30Y983U543UN6

She likes Wolves, Tigers, Snakes, and Dragons. 

She wears size 5/6, and frequently refuses to wear pink, flowers, or 'cute' things. (pajamas are an exception to that rule - they can be any print, but she likes long pants, and sleeves, and fuzzy ones!)

Her shoes must be fast, and should be size 12 or 13. 

She is learning to read, and likes books that she can have success reading alone, like the Dick and Jane repetitive series, BOB books, and other 'sight word' books. 

Her art desk is overflowing from her birthday, paints and markers and crayons galore!

She likes super heroes, especially bat man (and all attempts to sway her towards wonder woman, super girl, and bat girl are thwarted!) She likes the fantastic 4, Marvel heroes, and Justice League.

Board games are appreciated. We don't have Trouble, or Sorry, or Kerplunk. 

Happy (quickly approaching) Holidays everyone!

Pumpkin carving

I love Halloween! Aurora loves wolves! She picked and carved this design with only a little help! A

Trick or Treat.

Aurora and Jonah trick or treating

With a last minute wardrobe change, Aurora went trick or treating as a cowboy! 

She had a very busy day at school, carving a pumpkin and having a party. 

She spent a good bit of the day practicing her hat twirl, and yelling "howdy partner!"

At an event earlier in the week she was batman for the last time :)

Hey, I'm more likely to remember to post photos and update more frequently when I get responses (comments and replies), or phone calls... Keep it in mind. 

Pumpkin picking

Hello everyone. I've been slow to post, sorry. Life is busy around here! Like 7 days a week, scheduling things 6 weeks in advance, what day is it now busy!!! (Also, I post from my phone and sometimes timely pats fail to go through.)

Aurora is doing great! She got her report card today (kindergarten progress report) and is doing wonderfully! She met all goals except "completes work in a timely manner"... Go figure. Pretty sure that one doesn't come from me.

Aurora has decided to be batman doctor for Halloween. That would be Batman who carries the sonic screwdriver from Dr. Who. 

We have been to the pumpkin patch 3 times, I love fall!! We will be carving pumpkins this weekend. That's a big deal around here! 

School Pictures were last week. She says she smiled, I sure hope so.
