Halloween Parade at COF

Friday afternoon was the Halloween parade at COF.  It was a bit drizzly so they had to hold it inside which was a bit of a downer.  They kids walked through the building stopping at parents with treats.  It was fun seeing the boys in line in their costumes.  Ryder went with a hockey theme this time and Carson was the Red Angry bird.  

Zayden stuck with Iron Man.

Ashton was a green ninja.  There were only five boys as Caden was out sick for part of the week and Landon and Marcus are in the afternoon kindergarten program as well.  

Mrs Karen was a beautiful Elsa. 

Even the babies were dressed and out on the parade.  They were so precious to see in the stroller with their parents and grandparents snapping away with their cameras or phones.  

  

With the extra candy they did a candy toss and broke up the kids roughly into two age groups.  

Baylor definitely came home with plenty of candy!  

Eddy woke me up really early in the morning and I could not fall asleep.  I decided to use my time wisely and made some treats for the Fall party at kindergarten on Friday.  They were hardening up all during the day and I remembered to take a photo before packing them up.  Baylor loves the chocolate covered marshmallows on pretzel sticks. I hope the other kids do as well.  

Circle of Friends

Baylor started at his new daycare on August 5 and he is going Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.  He will go for the Summer program for three weeks before Kindergarten starts.  The first day we both went to drop him off.  He immediately started to wander around and try to figure out a way to work himself into the other kids there.  I was happy and comforted to see him trying to interact instead of being shy.  When Gloria picked him up the teacher said it was like he had been there all Summer.  And he has been doing well ever since.  Mommy on the other hand is having a bit of a hard time adjusting to everything.  On Friday they have water play day. I remembered when we were across the street from the school that he was supposed to be wearing his water stuff.  So we turned around, dressed and headed back.  Once there Mrs Kathy asked where is water shoes were so I said I will be back with them and next time I will read the paper better.  

This Tuesday we went to a meet the new Principal at the other elementary school.  The auditorium was crowded but we did manage to meet him. Actually Baylor talked to him on the phone earlier in the day.  Gloria had called the office with some questions and the secretary handed the phone over to him.  Apparently Baylor just said, "Uh-huh, uh-huh,uh-huh. OK, bye." We ran into a boy from his day care class, Zayden, and ended up spending the evening with them at the school.  Their son is still four and turns five right on the the cut off day but the daycare says he is ready.  Baylor had received a party invitation from him that day and I did not know who he was.  The boys played outside in the playground for a while and we all headed home.  

Thursday when we went to school I said we needed to sign up for the picnic that I thought was on Tuesday the 19th.  Mrs Kathy said that was good because only one person had signed up in his class and the picnic was tonight.  So we made plans to pick him up and run to the grocery store for a side dish. We settled on pre-made pasta salad and headed back to the school and the park in the back.  Gloria meet us there and Baylor headed to the swings. 

When it was time to eat he wanted to hit the fruit table first.  He is my good eater!  

He did have some of a hamburger pattie, mac and cheese and a few cotton candy puffs.  Like a cheese puff but blue and sweeter.

Gloria had to go home to go to bed because she had to work early the next day so I took Baylor to the other play area to explore the equipment.  

It was a good second week at school.  And when I got the paperwork for next week's schedule, I put it on the fridge and highlighted the days he would be there.  Hopefully I will not forget anything!
