Student of the Month!!

We were so proud of Big M when we found out earlier this week about the award she was to receive.  She was chosen by her teacher as Student of the Month for her classroom and recognized in the second grade assembly.  So proud of her!!

Happy Halloween!!

M&M were so excited to trick-or-treat this year!  They liked their costumes and had a fun time walking the neighborhood for all of the treats. 

Happy 5th Birthday Little M!!

Since her last birthday, Little M has been asking for a cowgirl pony party for her 5th birthday.  She had been wanting it for so long, we just had to make it happen.  It was actually a ton of fun! She and her guests really enjoyed their time with the ponies Stormy, Copper, and Pegasus.  We had a beautiful October day to do pony rides, brush/comb them, and feed each pony.  A wonderful afternoon for the cutest cowgirl we know!

Visiting the Pumpkin Patch 2013

 We enjoyed our annual visit to the Livesay Pumpkin Patch near Porter this year.  We had a beautiful day and because we were able to go during the middle of the week, we were just about the only ones there!  M&M had so much fun running through the pumpkin patch and selecting the pumpkin that would be their own.  Such a fun family outing!

 

 

It was a lot of fun carving pumpkins with Papaw this year.  We all got the biggest laugh from Big M, who said that the pumpkin meat, seeds, etc felt like cat throw-up.  Such an odd thing to say since we have never had a cat and we're quite sure she's never been near cat throw-up. Will give us a chuckle for many years to come, I'm sure!

Fall Dance Programs

We enjoyed watching M&M do the their in-class dance performances this week.  They had a lot of fun and sure smiled a lot.  So glad they are still enjoying their dance classes with Miss Kristy!

 

Halloween Cookies at Wolfgang Puck Bistro

 

M&M had fun again at Wolfgang Puck Bistro last Saturday. The monthly cooking class involved decorating Halloween cookies with very tasty icing, candies, and Halloween sprinkles.  They had a lot of fun and loved making (and eating) their yummy cookies.  It was even more fun that two of their friends were able to join them this time.  They are looking forward to next month's class--Pumpkin Pancakes!

Cooking Class!

M&M had a great time at the Wolfgang Puck Bistro of Tulsa on Saturday.  Wolfgang Puck offered a free kids cooking class.  During this class, M&M learned to make meatballs and spaghetti sauce.  They loved it and especially loved the end of class---eating the spaghetti and meatballs!!
