More pictures...

I finally got my friend BRIDGETT to email me these fun pictures! Kindergarten is totally awesome... well at some schools. Logan's school... maybe not?! Anyways, they had a really fun little Halloween parade that I went to so I could see all the kids in their costumes. This was Logan in his pirate costume that I mentioned in an earlier post.Slade sure was a cute fireman! I also ran into McKenzie at the school. I was such a good mom and stole the delicious sugar cookie off her tray AND the tray of two others girls whom I didn't even know! :) I did share the cookie with Bridgett's baby Aidan if any of you were wondering why I am such a pig!
Yesterday the Kindergarten had a Thanksgiving Feast with the kids and their parents. Logan was so excited to have me there... NOT! He acted so embarrassed to have me there and was acting all goofy for pictures. I (of course) made him take one with me and I even made him let me kiss him before he ran off to class.
I love my kids so much and try so hard to be a good mom. I have been very impressed with them this week that I felt I needed to brag a little. We ALL went to walmart (it's been a long time since I took all my kids to walmart with me) and they were so well behaved. People even walked up to me and TOLD me this.

Logan has been doing wrestling for a while now and he has struggled with insecurities and his shyness getting the best of him. Last night he did so awesome. He pinned every kid the wrestled and was doing the moves and having such a great time. As his mom I sat there feeling so proud and mostly just so happy for him that he was able to break out of his shell and be the fun and energetic kid we all know he is. I wish I had my camera because it was incredible.

McKenzie has done so well with dance. I know it isn't her strongest talent, but I also know she is trying so hard to do her best. I can see it when she comes home from dance wanting to practice and become more flexible. It is worth every penny I pay if dance can help build her self esteem and develope a talent in the process as well.

As a reward for being so good and working so hard at the things they have committed to we took them to dinner last night and Drew and I sat SHOCKED when they obeyed and acted polite and ordered their food and were just plain good kids. So we even let them order dessert!! :)
