Halloween and All Saints Day

I am a little behind on posting about Halloween but here it goes.  The Saturday before Halloween we went to the Knights of Columbus for their annual “Trunk or Treat”.  The kids had a great time!

Halloween Day the 2nd graders at St. Francis dressed up as their favorite Saint and they had a program in the gym.  Sarah Beth chose St. Elizabeth of Hungary.  She had a good time researching this Saint and she did an excellent job telling about “herself” at the program.  Sophie got to sit with us and her class got to wear their Halloween costumes and parade down the hall.

That night we went to MeMe’s house planning to “hunt” for candy in the house b/c it was raining….but the rain stopped and we were able to hand out candy and do a little trick or treating!

It was a fun Halloween but whew we were all exhausted the next day!

Curry Farms

I had the opportunity to go with Sophie and her Pre-K class to Curry Farms on their field trip.  It was such a fun day!  I enjoyed getting to know her friends a little better and just being a mom (not a teacher on the field trip!). 

When we arrived we jumped on the wagon and took a little tour of the tree farm.

After we got off the wagon we went through the corn maze!

Sophie and Meredith  in front of all of the Christmas trees!

Sophie picked out the perfect pumpkin from the pumpkin patch!

They have this really cool “trampoline” to jump on.  I even jumped a minute…so much fun!

train ride…

Mrs. Jan had a car full of fun kids!

It was such a fun day with my Sophie girl!

Homecoming Night

Friday night of St. Al’s homecoming finally arrived.  SB was so excited to wear her beautiful gown that we bought in Metarie, La a few weeks earlier.  She was also excited to walk across the football field.  That Friday was Grandparents’ Day at St.  Francis so I checked the girls out early and we took SB to Mrs. Cindy to get her hair curled.  She even put a little make-up on her.  It was an exciting time.  I will let the pictures do the talking.

Before the game we stopped at the “old” St Francis where Syd went to elementary school and did a mini photo shoot.

St. Aloysius Homecoming Parade

St. Al celebrated homecoming October 11th.  Sarah Beth was chosen to be an attendant for the Homecoming Queen.  She was honored and very excited! 

She rode in the Homecoming Parade on Thursday with Brady, the other attendant.  They were so cute riding in the convertible and waving to everyone!

The boys enjoyed the parade and seeing SB coming down the street!  SB had lots of supporters!

Mrs.  Claire was so sweet to give her roses!

After the parade we went to the school for the Pep Rally.  SB and Brady were presented with the Homecoming Maids and Sponsors…it was a fun night!
