Halloween
This is a picture of the girl's at my Halloween Boo Bash for work. Maddie was a bride and Kynzie was, well we're still trying to figure out what she was. I say she was a clown, I think she thought she was something else :). Either way, she looked adorable and still loves that costume.
Girl's Gymnastics
The girls have both started gymnastics again and this is pretty much how Maddie spends her days!
Maddie was asked to join the competition team at the gym but that would mean more time and money and it just doesn't work with our busy schedules. She does enjoy it though and as long as it is a positive experience for her, we will continue to go.
Kynzie loves her class and it is the cutest thing ever to watch her bounce around.

Kynzie's field trip to pumpkin patch
I got to go with Kynzie and her class to the KC Pumkin Patch back in October. It was a lot of fun to see her interact with her friends. Here is a picture of her and her friend riding the train.
Kynzie's parent teacher conference
Matt and I got to go to Kynzie's parent teacher conference last month and it was very interesting to hear what all the teacher had to say about her. Of course, we see a totally different side of Kynzie here at home that most others don't get to enjoy. She is very shy and reserved at school but is doing very well. Here is what her teacher wrote about her and I think it sums her up perfectly!
"McKynzie is such an adorable little girl. She brings her quiet disposition into our classroom and somehow calms the group down. She will do fine as she progresses through her school years. She makes friends easily and is able to stick up for herself without being bossy or pushy. The other girls all want to be her friend and she is always more than accomodating. It is her nature to be on the quiet side and she does prefer not to talk in circle unless she is really sure of the answer. However, when we are at the table working in small groups, she is very talkative and can answer most questions presented to her. Academically, I believe she is right on track for Kindergarten next year. She knows most letters and sounds that have been presented to her and her math skills are right where they need to be also. These might even be above average for her age. She counts well and her one to one correspondence goes through ten. Her fine motor skills along with her gross motor skills are good. McKynzie is a joy to have in class!"
This made mommy and daddy very proud :)

Maddie's parent teacher conference
We had PT conferences for Maddie in October and were very pleased and proud by what her teacher had to say about her (of course we already thought those things). Her teacher said that there wasn't too many kids that she trusted to help others but Maddie was one. She said she is very mature and knows how to help other kids who maybe aren't understanding something without just giving them the anwers. She said she really feels like Maddie will be a teacher when she grows up. Maddie is obsessed with playing teacher at home (with Kynzie as her student). She had career day at school and of course Maddie dressed up like her teacher, Mrs. Howard. It was really cute and Mrs. Howard thought that was really neat. She said Maddie actually reminds her of herself when she was younger. Anyways, we are so proud of her for being such a good helper and good student at school. Oh yeah, one other funny thing was how perfectly organized Maddie's desk was compared to every other kid in her class. She had all of her folders neatly stacked and in order from biggest to smallest and then her crayon box very neatly placed on top of it. There was no trash or loose papers hanging out of her desk like every other desk in the class. The next month, she actually won an award for having the most tidy desk!
