At Considerable Cost

Our elementary school holds Grandparents' Day on the last day of school before Thanksgiving break.   It is a kindergarten tradition to put on a Thanksgiving show in each classroom.   Thomas was so excited about the performance and his guest, my Aunt Betty, his great aunt.   She is my mama's older sister and we love it when she can visit!      

  Avoiding all Halloween décor in favor for only harvest items?    Nevermore...   http://www.crisismagazine.com/2013/all-hallows-eve-or-Halloween   ...but that's a whole other post.   Our Poe little display (technically, those aren't ravens, I know) Poe, but proud.   I'll stop now. Pumpkin Patch Pictures First Kindergarten Field Trip:  Oil Ranch Thomas woke us up at 6:00 that morning, dressed and ready to go.   He was so excited and I am so very thankful I was able to chaperone.   It's the first field trip I've ever been able to attend as a parent, since I always had Thomas home with me for the girls' trips.   As his smile shows, he had a fantastic time! Kindergarten Dress-Up Day & Pumpkin Party!   I love his teacher's classroom parties.   The children attend fun stations with games, snack-making, arts & crafts, etc... and then they get to enjoy their treats.   They have a blast and
