our halloween.

shimmer & shine and their pets tala & nahal. sister genies in training... a show on nick jr.

neighborhood friends.

they have been set on shimmer & shine for months... caroline the pink one (except she didn't wear the pink hair) & millie the blue one. they decided months ago, and never changed their minds about which one they wanted to be. it was a miracle.

loved getting to wear these ridiculous tutu overalls... i found them in chicago at an urban outfitters outlet. they were $5 dollars marked down from $80... how is the world were they originally $80?!

the weather was perfect... no need for tons of layers!

millie's fall break and our weekend.

lunch at a tea room with nana!

we decided that it would be fun to dress fancy for our lunch...

millie's special dance team warm-up was ready to be picked up at her friday team practice- she was super excited!

thanks to nana & grams for watching asher & the girls while we went to a purdue football game!

she is 2months older, and they are the sweetest little friends.

tailgating before the game with the sawries & the gordons!

we are already planning a big reunion for next year at a game... we are coming up on 10years since we graduated. crazy.

first time sitting in the end zone seats.

i love cheering on our boilers... i just wish they would win some games!

thanks for the sweet halloween jams, grams!

helping millie get isabelle ready for halloween... i can't believe that there are nail decals for dolls.

scary face pancakes at ihop with grams on halloween morning!

millie just wanted to decorate & caroline just wanted the whipped cream.

second month of kindergarten.

picture day!

millie wanted to make something special for her teacher.

she had most of the boys in her class write down their names on a piece of paper for her... not sure why.

during one of my visits to the school, i was able to see some of her things hanging in the hallways...

like her pyramid of progress for reading her first 100 books.

and this is hanging outside of her classroom.

first school picture!

first parent-teacher conference. she's doing a great job, and is right where she needs to be!

a book of her friends... i can't remember who drew this.

found this hanging on the wall at school... made by one of the older kids.

first lunch of the week leading up to halloween!

another halloween week lunch.

red, white, & blue for spirit week.

love these little monsters.

the kindergarten gets to dress up as one of their favorite book characters for a parade through the school. the rest of the school doesn't get to dress up for their fall parties on the last day of school before fall break... this is a special way that the kindergarten teachers can let the kindergartners dress up & have a special day for their fall party.
