November dance viewing

We our November dance viewing last Monday and it was so great to see the growth that Addison and the other girls have made in a month with their dancing. They are starting to learn feet and hand positions with fun songs and they even did a small routine with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I was excited to see Addison was right on with her teacher. I am so pleased with the progress that Addison has made and that she continues to be excited every week in going to her dance class! This has been a passion and love that I have always had and I hope that dance is an activity that she will feel the same way about! So so proud of our little dancer and I can't wait to see the progress that she will make in the coming month!

Halloween

For Halloween night, we took Addison to Texas Tech to do the Safe Treat in the dorms. It is a great way for Addison to go to many doors and be in a safe, warm, and fun environment! We really enjoy doing it and I know that Addison does, as well! After going through 3 dorms, we went back to hand out candy for about 30 minutes with no success. Addison saw that several of the houses on our street had their lights on so we ventured through the neighborhood for some last minute trick or treating. We were upset that we bought candy and only one family came by our house (no buying candy next year). Overall, we are very happy with our Halloweenfest! We LOVED it and had a GREAT weekend.

Pumpkin Pizza, Mummies, Fingers, and Eyeballs

For Halloween weekend, I tried to make things extra fun and special for Addison as she gets older and begins to remember and understand things that we are doing. For her Fall Festival night, I took her Papa Murphey's and let her order a pumpkin pizza! She was quite exciting about this and it tasted pretty good..and for $6 it was a pretty cheap dinner! For Sunday night, I made a fun dinner of Mummies, Ghost fingers, and Monster Eyeballs. I made all of the food and then I walked outside and pretended to go "hunting". When I came back I messed my hair up and told Addison that I had to wrestle with the ghosts and monsters, and dig up the mummies. I think I was pretty believable...at least to my 3 year old. If you look at her face, she was not to sure about everything, but once we told her what the things might taste like she was all about it.She really enjoyed the fingers and eyeballs. For dessert, we made some wonderful sugar cookies in the shape of cats, bats, witches, ghosts, and moons topped with a wonderful vanilla icing. Fun Times in the Reynolds house!

Carving Pumpkins

On Sunday we carved our pumpkins. Addison was much more adventurous then the previous year to touch the "goo" of the pumpkin. She, of course, still thought it was yucky, but she touched it and helped clean it out a little bit.

Fall Festival

On Friday night, All Saints had a wonderful Fall Festival. They had bouncy houses, a train, karoke, bake sales, games, and loads of great fun! We really had a wonderful time and Addison was completely tuckered out by the end, pink hair and all!
