Conferences & Carvings

Only three days of school for Sam this week because of Parent-Teacher Conferences. We all headed off to school for our 9:00am conference. The boys were able to play in the gym with another family while we met with Sam's teacher and then we played in the gym while those parents had their conference. It worked out perfect!

It is no surprise that Sam is doing just great! He is always eager to help and often notices things that are out of place and need to be put away. Sequencing, identifying patterns and following directions are not a problem for Sam. We're so glad he is loving school!


We celebrated with sprinkle doughnuts at Krispy Kreme -- a favorite spot for a treat.


This afternoon it was time to carve all our pumpkins. We all have our jobs...Sam designs the faces, Mom is the scooper, Dad is the carver and Zak -- well, he's just Zak!

Sam was not interested in putting his hand
in the pumpkin -- but he did want to try scooping.


Zak checked out the lights.


The team hard at work!


We turned off our lights and ate
dinner by the glow of the pumpkins.


Five little pumpkins!


Good times!

  1. Cuteness!! Glad the conferences went well. Sam sounds like a couple of first child over-achievers I know. Can you relate?!

    And where did you find those great "pumpkin lights"? They're ingenious!! Long distance hugs!
