Angie's Fall Carnival

Tonight was the culmination of what Angie has been waiting for and talking about and singing about for many days, even weeks...the school carnival. It's an evening of chili dogs, wall to wall people and carnival games. We've been hearing snippets of songs for a long time, but not really knowing what they were until tonight. We kept wondering how she knew the phrase, "They're playing my song." and now we know. The kids did a cute Broadway themed program.

Angie's teacher told me that the week before this event is almost as bad as say, Halloween or Christmas with the excitement which causes the kids to have a harder time in class. I received this e-mail from Mrs. Erdman today which made me very proud. "Angie had a great day! Considering all the Fall Festival excitement, I was so impressed with her behavior. Mrs. Erdman" Yeah! She's making tons of progress.

Speaking of progress...she is our little speller. She loves to know how to spell lots of words and is constantly asking us to spell for her. She can spell Wickenkamp out loud and write it too (with a very long piece of paper of course!)

Here are some photos from our evening.

Kayla helped at the fishing pond.

Angie won the cake walk...a moon pie!
She almost pinned the bow on the teacher!
This is Mrs. Erdman, her teacher.

Getting a cardinal tattoo (which was promptly picked off.)

Until the next Grand Adventure,
