october: the rest of the story.

my last post left out the last week of october which was a busy one!

on mondays, hayes and i do a mommy/me ballet class.  she loves it.  the monday before halloween they read a spider book and at the end of the class they dressed up as spiders so here is hayesie spider=)

on wednesday sarah kate had her boosterthon fundraiser fun run at her school where she ran laps for $.  she did great!!  my mom, hayes and i were there to cheer her along.  trey was in atlanta and so he had to miss out but i took some video footage.  who knew my slow moving girly girl could move so speedy fast? ha!  

this big kindergartener loves her school so much!  

after supporting sissy at her big run, we took hayesie bird to the park for a picnic and to play.   that's mimi under that hat;)

on thursday hayes's class had their halloween parade.  here is my cheerleader with ames, her peacock friend first thing in the morning.

hayes cried and cried for the class picture.  she saw me, trey and my mom cheering her on as she walked in the parade and then she wanted us!  and she was overwhelmed.

she went on in and enjoyed her class party and her teacher said she had a great day.  i was glad she didn't stay sad for too long.

then came friday.  friday morning at 2 am, sk threw up.  the tummy bug went around our neighborhood pretty hard core.  luckily she never got sick after that but the virus completely wiped her out.  so she missed school on halloween which means she missed their big kindergarten camp out.  they were in tents in the classroom and then did hotdogs, smores and such outside at the campsite.  they used flashlights inside - no electricity.  all these things sk had talked about all week.  she couldn't wait!  and then she got sick.  such is life….disappointments will be a part of her life forever.  but i hated it for her so much.   

we couldn't go to our neighborhood halloween party either.  but we did go to a few houses to trick or treat.  sk didn't have much energy for it but she wanted to try.  hayes had plenty of energy for both of them combined.

cutest cheerleaders in the world!  love them!  sk said, "well, i can't go trick or treating with the neighbors but i'll still have hayes so that's one friend at least."  ha!  hayes will do.  

saturday she was still completely wiped out.  she slept in the big chair on/off throughout the day.

all of the above pics were from my phone.  

a few from my big camera:

fun run…. 

here comes sk's class!  her teacher is in the front (crazy sock day that day) leading them out.  she is so fun and full of energy!

they walked the first lap.  sk chose halloween socks for crazy sock day:)

the 3 "s" girls after the run: sarah kate, savannah, and sally.  cute friends=)

 the parade….

h drug her teacher along.  she was ready to GO!

trick or treating

and that's it!  all of october in 2 posts.  i'm going to try to do better in november!  either that or i'll have to quit the blog.  i really dislike these long catch up posts. it's already november 9th and i'm just finishing october so i realize i'm off to a poor start.
