Fall Festival 2009

Last night was the anual Fall Festival at Okoboji Elementary School! It is a fun night for the families that attend our school to come out and trick-or-treat at school, play fun games, buy yummy bake sale items, paint pumpkins, etc. Grandma Bonnie and I took the boys last night, and they were very excited to be able to put on their costumes for a little pre-Halloween trick-or-treating! Logan dressed up as a Moto-Cross Biker and Landon was Elmo. We had fun trick-or-treating, and Grandma purchsed the boys a few goodies from the bake sale! Now the boys are REALLY geared up for Halloween to get here!

Logan Wins an Award!

Wednesday was a special day for Logan, as he recieved an award for being a Good Kid of Character! His teacher, Miss Demuth, gave him the award for "listening in class and being nice to everyone." Logan did not know he was getting an award, so he was quite surprised when I walked into his classroom with Grandpa Mick (who had the day off)! He kind of looked at us like "what are you doing here, and I'm so happy to see you!" Mr. Olson, the principal at our school, hands out the awards to all of the students in our school who are nominated by their teachers each month, so that makes the award seem even just a little more important. We are so proud of him! It would be nice if he would listen at home and be nice to everyone here too, but I guess boys will be boys, so at least he is very well-behaved at school!
