School Halloween Party

Today was Katie's school Halloween party, which we parents were invited to participate, so I came to see all of the cool costumes. Of course a few of the kids were confused why there parents were there, they live by their routines, so there were a few tears of confusion but other than that it was a lot of fun!

Katie and her buddy Luke and yes she still calls him Lukein. We all guess that she calls him that because when saying the kids names in class, the teacher will say "Tyler and Luke and Charlie...." so "Luke" became "Luke and" or Lukein.

The kids on their parade through the lower school.

Katie hanging out at the back of the crowd.

The class picture, 6 blondes and Katie! (As you can see one kid (Luke) is crying and Tyler (red shirt) wouldn't even put his costume on, that's what you get when you are working with a bunch of 2 and 3 year olds!)

The project of the day was pumpkin decorating and Katie spent twice as much time as the other kids on her stickers. (the teacher told me that Katie took 40 minutes on hers and the other kids took about 20 minutes, the girl LOVES stickers!)

When we got home she had gotten a Halloween card from her Great-Grandma Lucia, yay!

My cute little Hokie cheerleader!

Daytona and More!

Today was our first day on our own; my parents had to make a early departure because my Grandfather is having open heart surgery and unfortunately it was unexpected. Luckily they were able to catch a flight home and made it there safely, good luck Grandpa!

So we took off this morning for a visit to Daytona Beach to visit Nat's alma mater and to meet a former classmate for lunch. We had a BLAST and as you will see Katie loved the beach, a LOT!

YAY!

The little airplane on the right/center of the screen was the spot where Nat and Dan came down for an emergency landing after the engines cut out on takeoff............scary.

Nat back at school!

There are a ton of pictures from the beach, too many to explain, so I'll just let you enjoy them!

Nat in front of his favorite bar from college........it really is an awesome place!

Giving the thumbs up to the Ocean Deck.

Don't think she know's that hand signal, but it was funny!

A little excited and happy!

Someone is going to have to break it to Katie that she can't suck her thumb and drive!

In line for a ride.

Ugh, too much!

The evil emperor Zurg kidnapped Nat and Katie!! (From the Toy Story ride).

Purple castle..............

Then blue, I just thought it was cool that they changed the lights every hour!

Disney Hollywood Studio's!

Yesterday we spent the day at Disney's Hollywood Studio, it was fun but Katie missed the rides. We did get to see a few more favorite characters along the way, so the morning wasn't a total bust!

The Playhouse Disney "LIVE" show, cute but the puppets didn't come up too high and from her vantage point there wasn't too much to see. (We were sitting on the floor!)

US.

Mom, Dad, Me and Katie in San Francisco.
