Trunk or Treat

We had Trunk or Treat in the church parking lot last night. We had a lot of fun. Nathan was dressed like a knight. It is hard to find a costume for him because he does not like to wear masks or hats or like to have paint on his face. So the knight costume was great because it was just a shirt and pants. He was not to into getting candy but did have fun looking at all the lights people had in their trunks. The weather was perfect not too cold or not too hot. But it is a lot cooler today to hopefully the fall weather will start feeling like fall now and stay that way.

Also there was an awards assembly at school and Nathan got two awards one for perfect attendance and citizenship. I was a little surprised by the citizenship award because he has had a few rough days and was not so good. We had his parent teacher conference last week and his teachers said he is doing good and loves working on the computer. There was a progress note from his speech therapist and she said he is doing great especially with formulating sentences. So Donald and I were pleased. I talked to his speech therapist at the school Fall festival and asked her if she would always be his speech therapist as long as he was in the elementary school and she said yes. So that really makes me happy because Nathan really does like her.

I guess that is about all the new things that have happened here. We did go back to Magic Springs last Saturday and even bought our season passes for next year. We might go one more time this Saturday. Donald's birthday is Sunday on Halloween. He always said it was great to have a birthday on Halloween because you got gifts plus got to go trick or treating and get candy. We will probably to trick or treating Sunday night after church.

The Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch. It felt more like summer than fall. We had to pull our shorts out for the day. I am ready for it to turn cool and stay cool. We did have fun though. Rachel went with us and she picked out a pumpkin in the patch. We went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch. We had a fun time. Rachel's birthday was Wednesday so we are going over to Memaw and Granddad's tonight for a small party. Rachel wanted tacos so Memaw is fixing tacos. So we have had a fun day. I hope everyone has a great week.

Nathan had his school picture taken yesterday. I told them not to tell him to say cheese. Because that is what he did last year and his cheese smile is not the best. We have to pay before we see the pictures so we always get the smallest package. We have the first parent teacher conference on the 19th. I am going Friday to the Northwest part of the state for War Eagle(a big craft thing) with Memaw and her friend(they go every year). We are leaving Friday and spending the night and coming home on Saturday. It should be fun.

Happy Fall Y'all

Well Fall is officially here. Actually it got here last week but it is starting to feel more like Fall every day. We went to Magic Springs for our final time until next summer today. During October they do something called Magic Screams during the day there is not anything scary just Fall and Halloween decorations but during the night is when the creepy scary things come out and they have some haunted houses and stuff. It was a fun day and the weather was wonderful. So of course we plan on getting season passes for next year also because we had so much fun during the summer going.

Nathan is doing good in school. Donald taught him how to use the computer the other day and use the mouse so now he knows how to use the computer all by himself. They are also teaching him the key board at school to type some of his words. It is so wild to me that he is just 7 and is learning how to use a computer. Memaw has been on an 11 day trip she gets back tomorrow afternoon. We have all missed her and are ready for her to come home. Granddad is getting strength back in his arm after his shoulder replacement surgery and doing very well. We are planning on going to a pumpkin patch next weekend. Then the next weekend I am planning on going to the Northwest part of the state and go to War Eagle(a huge craft thing)well we aren't really going to War Eagle just very close by and to some things that are like War Eagle. Memaw and her friend go every year and I am going with them this year. We will leave Friday morning and get back Saturday afternoon. It should be a lot of fun.

Well I guess that updates everyone on what is going on here. I will probably take some pictures next weekend at the pumpkin patch and post them. I hope everyone has a great week and enjoys this Fall weather.
