Trunk or Treat

Here is the little fairy that came to our house yesterday. 

Her favorite part was the glitter all over her face. My favorite part of her costume was her glitter shoes I made by mixing glitter with mod podge and painting a pair of sunday shoes. It was a cheap pair of glitter shoes and by combining three colors of glitter I was able to get the color I wanted.

First Day of Pre-K

 On September 4th Molly had her first day of pre-K. I know she felt like this day took forever to finally come, but for me it was really bittersweet. I am happy she is doing something she loves and is no longer bored at home all day, but she is my baby and it was harder than I expected to let go. On the actual day, I was fine, but the lead up to starting school was nerve racking for me.

She woke up very early and came in to our room asking if she could get dressed. She was beyond excited.

(unfortunately we had hurricane Isaac going through and the humidity was crazy. My lens kept fogging up as fast as I could clean it so the pictures are a little foggy!)

Some of her friends are in her class with her. In fact a third of her class are friends from church.

I was standing by the door and she turned and gave me a very clear look that said "please leave"!

She loves it and her teacher, Miss Betty is just great. I think it is going to be a great year!

Volleyball

Nathan loves volleyball and we recently decided to show Molly some volleyball skills. Once her hands are together she won't take them apart, but it is fun to see her try and learn something new.

Shave the Date

One of my good friends recently found out she has cancer. She started Chemo a few weeks ago and has set an amazing example of taking a sad thing and turning in to a good experience. Today she had a "Shave the date" party to celebrate baldness! Everyone had to wear a wig or hat to the party. There was a bounce house and snow cones and cotton candy and we all had a great time.

This is her daughter Courtney. Molly LOVES Courtney. She has babysat for us a few times and she is a pretty fantastic person.

This is Kathy and her son. She is such an inspiration!

Gymnastics

Gymnastics is still going strong. She still loves it and has moved in to an "invitation only"

class.

Dance Class

Molly took a really fun dance class that she absolutely loved. It was more about moving than technique and at the end of each class every girl would do a solo across the floor. It was darling to watch.

Easter Egg hunt

Some friends had us over for an Easter egg hunt and we all had a great time
