70's party - it was Groovy

Avery (2 years, 3 months) - Avery is a giant ball of personality that has all the boys in her life wrapped around her finger.  She loves to say her name, sleep with shoes, carry around her Elsa doll, hang out with her best friends "Harper" (Parker), read books and watch anything princess related.  Avery also loves dancing and music.  Whenever "Can't Stop the Feeling" comes on, she screams "Avery's song".  She also loves to sing songs from Frozen and the ABC's.

Someone convinced dad to buy her this toy and then insisted on carrying it around the mall

Parker (5 years) - Parker finished up t-ball and had a blast.  He is a little apprehensive about starting basketball but seems to be slowly warming up to the idea.  Parker is working on sight words at school which he loves showing off at home.  He and Avery have become best buddies and the love playing and coloring together.  He still loves to do art and insists on putting up his artwork all around the house.

Carter (6 years, 6 months) - Carter lost tooth #3 this month but you would never know because his new one already came in.  Carter finished up soccer season and seemed to really enjoy it.  He loved playing goalie.  He is now onto basketball!  Carter drove his first car... go kart at a birthday party.  He only crashed into the wall once.

November at School

Carter had a few fun events at school this month.  The class had a cookie election where the kids made two cookies and votes for their favorite.  One of the fun first grade only events is the whole grade gets to have a Thanksgiving Feast.  Each class made a dish and shared them with the whole grade.

In addition to all the usual fun at school, Parker also had some fun November activities.  First the school presidential election finally arrived and after a month of campaigning it was time to vote. Parker's candidate Billy won and the new President immediately threw a dance party.  Later in the month Parker's class put on a Thanksgiving Feast including a play for the parents.  Parker had two lines in the show and did great!
