Kaylee had a video shoot for a YMCA gymnastics promotional video that she nailed, and had a great time doing. The following day mommy had a great brunch celebrating the anticipation of another baby Chavez. We then were lucky to get an invite for another amazing dinner at the Snow's where we got to finally meet baby Carver, along with enjoying great food and company!
The next week was red ribbon week. Having it around Halloween worked out since one of the days was super hero day and Mommy had already made Kaylee's super hero costume for Halloween. She did however have to make an extra one for Cienna. Toward the end of the week we were sure to carve our pumpkins. The girls are getting good at designing and creating their own designs. Trunk or Treat at school had a great turn out, and it was so much fun seeing all the costumes. We also got to see the pumpkins on display that each classroom had made. Mommy spent quite a bit of time painting a rainbow for Kaylee's classroom Skittle theme!
Then of course it was a fun filled Halloween. Mommy and Daddy wore the same costumes that they had worn the day after they had met in Chico a long time ago. We were joined by Chloe and Corey for our treat-or-treat block party gang! Then the girls actually handed out the candy that they got when we got home after getting prepared for bedtime.
We had fun eating dinner in a large homemade backyard tent the next day in preparation for some pretty awesome parent teacher conferences then next week. It's amazing that we look forward to those conferences! Both with after school care and their teachers.
Mommy went to the hair salon for the second time in 20 or maybe 38 years. Then had parent girl scout meetings for both girls. Cienna's troop had change in leadership and Kaylee's troop has just been organized!
During our day off on Veteran's day, unfortunately a quick flu had been going through the family and this was Cienna's day of not feeling great, but she was a trooper through a nice bike ride, making brownies and playing games together.
Cienna then had her second brownie troop meeting, first with the new venue. It went great. Mommy and Kaylee even got to take Addie to Walgreen's to pick up some pictures for the Purple Unicorn team mom's end of the year soccer gift. Which leads us to the last soccer game and weekend of the year. Proceeding each of the girls last games of the year were their end of the year parties. Too much fun.
The next day, after Daddy spending many hours sanding patio furniture, it was time to paint. We used our paint sprayer all over the place, luckily most of it was on the patio furniture. The first coat was a success. The last few days included the Carver Olympics at school and Pioneer Day for the Kindergartners (One more costume for Mommy to make).
Cienna had another orthodontics appointment to fix and tighten things up. She really enjoyed learning about being thankful at her Brownie meeting. She was acknowledged with her soccer trophy as the one that always had the biggest smile during every game! Her highlight was finally printing out her self started and completed book that she entered in a contest and got to read to her class which inspired many other classmates to want to write their own book. (The Magical Staircase).
Kaylee was so great feeding baby Carver all on her own. She continues to be top in her class in her star reader books, and enjoys them most when we let her read at night multiple times procrastinating going to bed. She is extremely excited about her Daisy group and getting to hang with her friends outside of school! She is quite the dancing maniac and is sure full of energy... good energy!
Both girls really loved soccer this season and are sad that it had come to an end. They have been practicing for their gymnastics holiday show and have both been into playing chess thanks to Mr. Josh who comes to the school and has an amazing way to get the kids very into the game!
Looking forward to holidays with the family!
