Trick or Treat

The kids had a wonderful time trick or treating. Lexy could care less about the candy, but Nathan was in heaven. He loves chocolate and suckers!! Now we have to start gearing up for Thanksgiving, yummy!!!
Lexy is off school this week. There are parent/teacher conferences at the schools. I had Lexy's on Tuesday and it went great. Her teacher says she is doing great and is amazed at how much Lexy understands and knows. She said she normally writes down the alphabet letters that her kids do know, but with Lexy she had to write down the ones she didn't know. Smart little lady!! Also, she can count up to 19 now, so we've got to start working with the 20's. She recognizes all but 2 uppercase letters but needs more work on her lowercase letters. All in due time!! She got an excellent on sharing and participating in classroom activities which also made me and Jason very happy. One of her goals was to learn how to share better, so she has achieved her first school goal!! Her teacher also said she is starting to eat better at lunch and is using her spoon/fork on a consistent basis now. YEAH!! They have some fun activities planned in the next couple months, and one of them is family day. I get to spend the day at school with her, so I'm really looking forward to that day.
Nathan is doing great too. He is getting excited about baby Camryn's arrival. I put the bassinet up in his room (b/c that's where I end up every night) and he is always peeking inside it and talking about her. He shows us how he is going to hold her and says that when she cries, he is going to either change her (yeah right), giver her a bottle, or a binky. Well see how excited he will be when she is here, but for now he is looking forward to her.
Speaking of Camryn, only 4 weeks left till her arrival. I'm starting to clean like crazy, so I can tell she's coming soon. My Mom and I are going out today to get some last minute things she will need. I also want to get her some Christmas pj's, so it should be a fun shopping trip.
Well better go, Nathan's on his way home from Mi Mi's house and we are off to the Cracker Barrel for biscuits and gravy. Thanks for checking in on us! Liz
