Pumpkin Carving

It's that time of year. The night are chilly, the leaves are falling, and everyone has cute little pumpkins sitting outside their houses. Well, we didn't...until last weekend. Dad, Breanna, Brady, and Ashley ventured out to a pumpkin farm and picked out pumpkins (My mom and I were shopping). Then the next night, we carved our pumpkins. I didn't get all the pumpkins...but take a look.

Toothless

An exciting thing happened in our family the other day. One of the most exciting events in a 6 year old's life.
BRADY LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!
He was very excited and smiled for many toothless pictures. It's one of his lower front teeth. And he also informed me that he has another loose tooth.

One of the most exciting parts was getting to put his tooth in a bag, waiting for the tooth fairy, and getting his picture up in his classroom at school for the people who have lost teeth. Here's some pictures!

Down on the Farm...

So last weekend, was our town farm festival. My dance studio had a booth their. We had a bake sale and did face painting. We really had a great time. It was a really rainy day, but I was really surprised at how many people were there.
I met up with Grandmother, Aunt Sara, Blake, and Ava and walked around with them for a little while. But, I had to get back to working. Blake came over to get his face painted and got a cow on his cheek(: Ava didn't want anything. Mary Kate and I were dancing on the hay bails and got our pictures in one of those little things where you cut out the head and it looks like you have the body of a cow or something. And next door, there was a day old baby calf! It was really cute!

First Day of School (2011-12)

Tuesday was our first day of school. Breanna went into 5th grade, Ashley into 3rd grade, Brady into 1st grade, and I went into 8th grade. It was excited and nervous. I'm not really sure why I was nervous since I'm on top of the school now, (oh yeah!!) but I was. I couldn't sleep the night before because I kept on thinking. That always happens when I can't fall asleep. It's because I just keep thinking, about everything! But somewhere around 11:00, I finally fell asleep.
The day started very rainy.  I got ready and had to go up and feed our 4 chickens. 2 of them just recently started laying eggs. When we got out of the pouring rain and back in the house, I had to go back out to stand and wait for the bus.
On our way to school, 2 cars crashed. Right there. In front of us. Leave it to me, to be the person who witnesses a car crash before school even starts. My bus driver was so surprised. She didn't know what to do. We just kind of sat there for a while and saw that some people were calling 9-1-1.
Then later I realize I forgot my lunch. Luckily, my mom brought it in, cause that's what Mom's are for, right?
The rest of the day went well though. My schedule is busy though:

1st pd- Social Studies (my teacher is out for knee surgery so there has been a sub)

2nd pd- Pre Algebra (there are 14 boys, and 5 girls in my class!)

3rd pd- On day A, it's Health. On day B, it's Gym
