School Christmas Party

Caleb's class at school getting ready to eat for the Christmas party

I think this is probably one of his usual positions during lunch at school!
I mean he's got to be moving in some way!! ;)

I just love his face! He is not friends with Santa. lol :)

Playing with his favorite toy in class...a lego train.

Hi....playing with Sydney

The class played Christmas Bingo. Jim said Caleb did really well at playing the game!

Gift exchange in his class was a $5.00 book.

Yay! He likes it. He has many of the books in this series. It's called "If you Take a Mouse to the Movies".

Getting his stocking full of goodies

Eating the huge sucker from his stocking once we got home. I think it's funny he's also holding an Easter egg. The things he finds to still play with! :)

Halloween Weekend

Caleb would not let me get a good picture of the 2 of them

Sydney

Pointing to a balloon flying away

At our church -Harvest Happenings

My favorite!

He loved the inflatable slide!! That is Sydney in front of him.

Waiting in line for a game or another inflatable.

He climbed up this one great but then got scared to slide down by himself. This one was higher than the other slide. The worker at the top had to slide down with him. He didn't ask to go on this one again!

Playing a basball game where the ball was tossed up by air. He ended up hitting a few balls.

He has a sucker in his mouth.

He always picked out the suckers from the boxes of candy. That is the only kind of candy he will eat. I grabbed a few pieces of chocolate for myself since now that he can get his own candy there isn't any chocolate in his bucket for me.

On Friday we took our annual trip up Signal Mtn to the Pumpkin Patch playground. We seem to only ever go in the fall even though the playground is there all year. I guess it's due to the name of it and I like to drive up the mountain to see the fall colors.

I have taken Caleb's picture at this pumpkin for the past 3 years. I wish I could post the pictures from the past but they were lost off my computer when it crashed. I have the printed copy at least. It's so neat to see how much bigger he is this year and he could actually pose for me this time.

He's graduated from the baby swing section.

He still wanted us to go down the big long slide with him. He never would try it by himself.

This one he loved....it's a shorter version.

Climbing up to the slide in the tunnel.

It was a fun day!

Freeman Springs Farm

Happy October! My favorite month for many reasons! I love the weather, the colors, pumpkins, football, and birthdays.
Today we joined a new playgroup for a trip to Freeman Springs Farm in Rocky Face, Ga. It was only about 27 miles away and it was so nice. Here are some pictures from our beautiful day.

Caleb picked this big pumpkin out from the Pumpkin patch. I think he had spotted this one when we first arrived. He went straight to it once we told him he could go get one.

The playground they took us to during our hayride

He loved this house and did not want to leave it!

So cute! (He is in the window)

Hayride!

The hay ride stopped for a while so the cows could come around and eat the hay we were sitting on.

First Day of School!

Caleb and I started back to school this past Thursday. I am still teaching the 3 yr olds and Caleb is in the 2 yr old class. He was excited to go back and so was I. After orientation on Tuesday when I met my students I anticipated Thursday to be stressfull. I was so happy it did not turn out that way! Our main challenge right now is a boy who doesn't know any English. So, he gets frustrated and cries when we try to make him follow our rules. He has no idea what we are saying. We will see how he does and if he can catch on to what we are doing.

Caleb did great his first day. He got a little tired and cranky before the day was over but he was fine. His class is more structured than it was last year. He is used to that a little from church but I think this will be at a new level for him.

So here are some pictures we took before we left for school that morning. Then I got a few of him sitting at the table in his class.

He is so proud of his backpack! He actually loves the Dr. Suess books now...mainly Green Eggs and Ham. (It has a train)

Sitting at the table for snack time

Oops he saw me. I was trying to peek around his door.
