Happy Halloween!

 

Halloween parade at school

 

 

 

AJ's costume - a red ninja.  He really wanted to be a Pokémon Trainer.  We ordered it weeks in advance but got a cancelation notice the week prior.  This was our rush, last minute buy.

 

His first time carving the whole pumpkin face all by himself!

 

At Pumpkin City in Laguna Hills - the same place I went at his age.  He's been coming here since he was very young.

 

We went trick or treating in Nellie Gail this year - with Alli. :)

 

 

Business Fair

AJ was adamant this week about writing a business plan so that he could have a business at the business fair in his class.  Come to find out about half way through the process that it was optional.  I love how determined he was to have a business and earn some school bucks!

Here he is with the sign for his business and the products he'll sell. 

 

The business fair was a success.  He sold almost all of his goods.  He had a sale towards the end. :)  So fun to see him enjoy himself and be so eager to do a good job.  Very thankful I got to be there for his big moment.

 

First Day of 5th Grade

Last year before he is in junior high!  This year should be a blast because he is the highest grade at his school.

We tried making a sign like lots of moms were having their kids do... He wants to be a singer when he grows up. :)

First Scrabble Game

AJ played his first scrabble game ever today.  He did very well!  I'm impressed!!!

Most Handsome Day Ever

Today Jason and I got married.  I have never ever seen AJ look more handsome!  He was a groomsman in our wedding.  He also walked me down the aisle. :)

AJ loves him some Colin

My favorite pic of AJ ever

And always have a silly version too, of course.  He loved the flowers from our cake.

His buddy Abby came too!

April Fun

This month we had some fun days at the beach.

 

The kids got to ride a Surrey Cycle.

We went to the Carnival!

 

We colored Easter Eggs!

 

We went to the beach with Alli and Colin!

 

 

 

Spelling Bee

AJ made it into the spelling bee!  He was one of a few chosen from his class.  Here he is saying the spelling out the first word which he got correct.
