Froemmings

Happy Halloween!  Unfortunately Brynn was not allowed to dress up with her costume at school, but we packed it in her backpack so she could have it to wear at Hope after school. I picked her up early from there so we could stop by my office for trick-or-treating.  Finally got some costume pics right away when we got home. Ringing the doorbell to surprised Daddy that we were home. On our way to my co-worker Kevin's house and Nancy's house. We drove over to my co-worker, Kevin's house. He and his fiancee just moved close to our neighborhood. Coincidentally, his fiance, Wendy, was a classmate of my sister's.  Nancy! Brynn said she was missing Nancy this past week and asked if we could go trick-or-treating at  her house. She was glad to see Brynn and caught us up on all the daycare happenings.

She is learning the difference between fiction and non-fiction, punctuation, math, and sight words. Her teacher sends little note cards home for her to cut out and practice her words, so we've been working on those at home. The other night she thought she would also write the words out. That did really seem to help her remember them better. She was really proud and wanted show Daddy. (I love the backwards 'S.' Classic! Ha!)  Brynn had a fantastic surprise this past Thursday when both sets of grandparents showed up! It was fun to have all of us together for supper. Dana's parents spent the night and Grandma Holly was able to come watch Brynn at gymnastics. Since it was such a rainy day on Saturday, it was a good day for playing inside. Brynn took some of her piggy bank money along to Wal-mart, as she had her eye ...
