1st Grade Pumpkin Carving Party

This was an awesome idea for a little get together for the 1st graders. We are simple pumpkin carvers and let our kids just draw a face and then we cut it out. Matthew was going around to all of his friends to see their pumpkin and then brought his friends over to see his, my little social bug! The best part was there was no mess at my house to clean up. We were alsotrying to be as quick as we could be so we could home and watch game 2 of the World Series.

Argyle and Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch

The bunny that could not get away!

We went to this extremely over the top 5th birthday party that had about 75 people there and anything and everything you could think off for this Halloween themed birthday party. I mean there was a hotdog machine, cotton candy machine, popcorn machine, nacho machine, petting zoo, mimiture horse ride and the list goes on. It was super fun for folks of all ages.

Anyway,s Paige sat down in this chair and held this poor bunny for a while. They had put all the other animals away and Paige was still sitting with the bunny in her lap. Paige was very kind to give the bunny back when it was time for his caging. She was just super cute with the death grip on the bunny.

Fall T-Ball

Matthew and his teacher Ms. Price and Riley from his 1st grade class

Matthew is one of the really good players on his team this season which is a huge confidence booster for him. He received the first game ball of the season and he still talks about that to this day. He finally knows how to run!!! Last season he would just take his time around the bases but he RUNS this season. His normal spot to play is short stop and he is gettin plenty of play time! The outfielders know it is their job to get the ball to Matthew. He is understanding the concept of when you can touch the base or when you have to tag the player. He is able to catch and throw the ball amazingly and his new glove has helped out a bunch. His batting is getting to the out field. All in all this season he has grown leaps and bounds. The team all together has been frustrating to me because there are about 5 4 year olds on the team and dirt is more important than the game. Once I changed my attitude about the process and saw how much he has soared this season made me actually love the game. One more season of T-ball and then we are off to coaches pitch!
