Ava's MDO Fall Party

Ava's MDO had a Fall party today. The kids were so cute all dressed up. They played games, made butter, won candy, and got to pick a pumpkin out of the patch. There were lots of fun games but I have to say that the hit of the party was the bean box. I couldn't get Ava to move on. Maybe I need beans instead of sand. Seems alot cleaner.

Ft. Worth Zoo

We went to the Ft. Worth Zoo for some much needed family time. The girls are just like mommy and love to go to watch the animals. Lately we have noticed that anytime we go somewhere with animals Ava is fascinated with the snakes and lizards. We are guessing that this is probably because she knows that she can look at them really close without worrying about them touching her or someone wanting her to touch them. Usually she is the kid screaming because she doesn't want to see the animals.

Covington's Fall Fun Day & The Girls

Sachse Fall Festival

We went to the Sachse Fall Festival today. This was absolute Heaven for Grace. She loves to collect brochures and papers everywhere she goes and there were tons of those at the Festival. The kids played games, ate good food, and just had a great time.

Grace lost her 1st Tooth

Grace has had a loose bottom tooth for a little over 3 weeks. She lost it while she was at school yesterday. She was very excited because the nurse gave her a small treasure chest box to put her tooth in so that she wouldn't loose it. Luckily the tooth made it home in the box. Grace refused to touch the tooth so dad had to put it into the Tooth Fairy pillow. She was very excited to wake up and find that the Tooth Fairy left her a brand new $2 dollar bill. Her only question: Does the Tooth Fairy come through the chimney like Santa Clause does?

We could only get a silly picture.

"I'll Just get a job making dollars"

This was the conversation that Grace and I had this morning while fixing her hair for school. Remember that we have only gone to Kindergarten for a total of 6 days.

Grace: "Mom, I think I'll just quit Kindergarten and get me a job making dollars"
Mom: (while trying to hide my laughing) "Grace you can't get a job making dollars until you finish school. You still have to go through elementary, then to middle school, then to high school, and to college."
Grace: "I really don't need school as much as I need dollars."
Mom: "Grace there are laws that say that you have to go to school and that you are too little to have a job."
Grace: "Okay, I'll just go to school."

Here is what her little brain is thinking:
This Summer while staying with Grammy she found the Dollar Tree store. Where every item in the store only cost $1. This is the greatest thing to her. She came home saying that she wanted to do chores everyday and that she wanted to earn $1 a day. WOAH! I explained that $1 is a lot of money and that she would have to do a lot of chores to earn $1 a day. I also explained that just because you earn $1 a day doesn't mean that you get to keep the whole dollar. Some of it goes to God and some to savings. Then you get to keep the rest. And if I have to do any of your chores then I get to keep the money that chore was worth. Seemed okay to her as long as she would still have some dollars at the end of the week. Oh, to be a child again and to think that the Dollar Tree store can solve all of your problems.
