Pumpkins Galore

A HUGE thank you to Papa Dirt!  Once again he came through with awesomeness....that's a word right?  This year both girls got 4 pumpkins each from Papa's garden.  Jackpot!  Here are some pictures of two that Emily carved this weekend.  Kudos to Emily as she did most of it by herself.  I only had to do some of the yuck removal.  Thanks Dad, this tradition warms my heart and is something Emily looks forward to.

Biz Town

Last Friday the 5th grade classes went to Biz Town.  A huge and awesome experience.  Basically they run a town for a day.  Each kiddo has a job...they earn a paycheck, open a bank account, buy insurance, buy food, etc.  Emily was a member consultant at BECU.  She loved it!

Fall Harvest

Foothills hosted a fall harvest festival on Friday night.  I must say it was one of the most organized school events I've been too in a long time.  Quite fun for the kids!

Emily, Taylor and Chase with their awesome teacher, Mrs. Davidson!

Happy Birthday!

Oh lordy guess who's forty??  Happy birthday to Scott!  Welcome to the club!

Art Work

This was a collaborate effort by Emily's class.  Each student had a couple squares that they had to draw from a pattern, then they put all the squares together.  Pretty cool....a falcon is the school mascot.

Ella turns 1

Ella turned 1 year old and celebrated at the zoo yesterday.  It turned out to be sunny and a great day for the zoo.  She was really digging the frosting!

Open House

Last night FH's hosted an open house.  Meet the teacher, tour the class, etc.  Since this our 6th year at FH's it was a bit old hat but still great to have some time with Emily's teacher, Mrs. Davidson.  She is super awesome and Emily is looking forward to a great school year.  Check out a sample of Em's art work:
