Changes, Hopefully for the Good

Well the boys have switched from Monday-Wednesday to Tuesday-Thursday. It wasn't an easy decision to make but I'm comfortable with it and hope it's for the best.  The change was necessary as Evan wasn't able to receive the one-to-one attention that was really important to help him establish a good routine at school.  He was sharing with another student on the original schedule.  The school board took quite some time before finally making a final decision to confirm Evan's DSW, Kim Maurina, for a fulltime position.  Once it was confirmed it was necessary to split the students up and naturally the other parents would not make the change.  It would have been easier to make the decision if it only involved Evan, however this change affected Tommy as well.  The kids visited their "new" class last week and it went well.  So I am hoping and praying that it was the right decision.

Sunday School Halloween Parade

Two young ladies have taken over teaching Sunday School this year.  Cassie and Aly are doing a great job teaching and guiding our very small group of youngsters!  The twins love them both and are very much enjoying Sunday School.  They had a Halloween Parade this year much to the delight of the kids and I'm pretty sure, the delight of the congregation!

Trick or Treat 2013

Black and Orange Day at School

AKA Halloween.  Unfortunately, things have greatly changed since I was in school.  Children are no longer welcome to wear their costumes to school.  They are allowed to wear black or orange and are able to bring in treats to share with their classmates.  Here are the boys all ready for black and orange day!

Field Trip to Thiessens Apple Orchard

We headed out to Wheatley to Thiessens Apple Orchard for the boys very first field trip.  The day began with their first bus ride.  They were so excited!  We spent the day learning about growing apples and how the orchard operates, then off for a hay ride throughout the orchard, picked a bag of apples to take home.  Then lunch break and some free time to play in the kids area.  Oh yes and some sliding and jumping around in the hay barn.  A little more play time and another bus ride back to school.  A good time was had by all!

Early Morning Sky

Got up early this morning and loved the colour of the sky.  Such a beautiful fall morning!
