Finally an Update

Shortly after school started we had a minor storm. Hurricane Isaac came through with some winds and rain, but mostly nothing! However, we were the only ones with a little damage to one of our trees....
Then Danny's and my birthday snuck up on us. Danny could not get the days off from work but celebrated with friends and Ed and Michelle decided to take me to my favorite place on earth. YES! DISNEY! We stayed at the new Cars suites at the Art of Animation Resort. Its awesome. We hope to come back when the Little Mermaid suites are done.
Next, Disney came to us. Leah's sister and godmother took her to Disney on Ice at the Arena. Robin from Red Thread stitches made this adorable Minnie dress for us.
Then we all got sick. The nasty flu, one by one......
As October rolled around, school activities have been in full swing. We first completed our first Kindergarten school project. It was part of the Hispanic Heritage Celebration. The children were to chose a country (of parent's heritage, if applicable),create a poster and a doll and dress in a traditional costume. We chose a traditional dance costume.
Next came Spirit Week. This was lots of fun A Blast from the Past...
Nerd Day...
Mix Match Day.....
The the American Girl Store had their "Grand Opening" across town. Well we decided to go to the "Soft Opening" the day before instead. I heard there would be lines to get in and only 100 people in at a time and many not being able to get in at all. So when we heard there was a soft opening the day before that was not going to be advertised, it was a no brainer. So I picked Leah up from school and we drove down there. I don't know which one of us was more excited.....
We had a snack at the Corner Bakery because the AG Bistro was not due to open til the Grand Opening. We did make reservations for a future date with Mimi.
Then we started tennis lessons. She loves it and is doing great.
Next we had Storybook Character dress up day at school. You had to dress up and read the story to your classmates.
Then school pictures came in. LOVE them.
Next came Halloween stuff, we baked, went to the Pumpkin Patch, well to 2 of them, although I don't have many pictures because my camera was lost at the second one. Leah was a gypsy for Halloween and went trick or treating around the neighborhood. She really enjoyed it this year. I think we all did.

Looks like you've been pretty busy! What a wonderful collection of photos - it's great seeing you do so much together as a family. The Art of Animation Resort was great wasn't it? We got to stay there recently for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Party and had a great time. October was a big month, but here we are already in November, off and running - and we can't wait to see all you're up to leading up to Christmas!
