Fall is Fabulous





This past weekend we went to my parents for some fun, Fall activities planned by my mom. First, we had the best dinner ever, which consisted of spanish rice,a roast and wine!! We told the kids that if they wanted to decorate cookies, they had to eat their dinner first, and you better believe each child cleared their plate. Sometimes small bribes work!! Lilly, Preston and Malaina decorated cookies with frosting and sprinkles. I couldn't believe the coordination they all had. I do this activity with my students at school and this is hard for some of my little friends! After, my mom had these adorable goodie bags stuffed with Halloween candy, shirts, books etc... everything a child loves. Then, we went outside for a bonfire and took advantage of the gorgeous evening, we don't get too many of these in October. The kids played and the adults chatted by the warm fire. It was a great kick off to a Fabulous October.
