Halloween Recap

Our Halloween went like this.  Cara woke up super early yelling "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"
Then we hurried through the daily routine in the morning and got the girls off and off to work for a half day. I was dressed as a witch and it was so much fun to be in costume.
Then I ran a few errands, hurried home to Rich and Ryann and then Rich and I headed off to parent teacher conferences. 

Seriously, I was nervous. Big time. What would she say? What if Ryann wasn't smart enough? Or she was the naughty kid, or the one who picks her nose or farts all day long?

Turns out she is great. "Very respectful" is what our teacher kept saying over and over again. Phew. She never makes excuses and she is always aware of what she should be doing (even if she isn't doing it)  and she is easily redirected. She is learning how to solve conflict on her own and she is really fun to have in class. 
However, she is occasionally distracted and that usually makes the teacher laugh out loud, because her distractions are over butterflies or rainbows or feathers. Oh yeah, and she colors everything instead of doing her work sometimes. And everything she colors is a rainbow. 

Overall her reading is where it should be by the end of kindergarten :) (proud mommy moment) and her math is where it should be for right now, so hopefully we will just watch her grow and grow this year.  We are so proud and I am so happy that she isn't the nose picker either. 

After parent teacher conferences we decided to get dressed in our costumes and take some pictures. 
 Cara was not very happy about it. 
 Ryann had a lot more fun with it.  
Then we went trick or treating in our little neighborhood, daddy and Ryann then went back to our house to pass out candy and Cara and I went to visit the Bakers (a yearly tradition). Then we went home and went to bed. Very low key, very nice.
