Great Job, Taylor!

Taylor came home from school yesterday with some big news. She was named Student of the Month for her class, Star of the Week for her reading group (for which she received a super-girly plastic pink bracelet and matching ring) and received a positive behavior incentive for having a clean slate so far this year. The prize she chose? A chance to visit her kindergarten teacher at the end of the day Monday. :) What a day! Not to mention, she had gym, her very favorite part of the school week.

Mike and I decided that after such a good start this year, we should do something to reward the Worm, too. Her reward? A trip to the store to pick out two new fish!

Introducing Pinky and Violet! After one day, we've already decided that the bowl is too small. We'll be exchanging it for something bigger today.

Michael loves the new fish, too.

We've been busy with school, soccer, Mike and I trying to get our own workouts in and work. I guess that's obvious by the fact that I pulled on 0-fer on posts in September. Oops!

A couple of cute pictures before we left for a birthday party for three of Taylor's friends. It was a bowling alley and Michael got to come along since Mike was at the Steelers game.

Taylor had a blast picking out presents for three seven year olds (two are twins) and her 5-year-old cousin Abby whose party was later that day.

I have a lot of pictures I've uploaded but never posted. I'll throw them all into a miscellaneous post later.

Until next time,

Mommy Kel
