Jacob, the VIP, has shared a cube block, a barrel full of monkeys, and a stuffed zebra! He really has no method to choosing the items for show and tell, which cracks me up in the morning!, watching him look around frantically for anything nearby! He gets to ring the bell after 'recess' and walks around giving everyone a personal bell toll! He was excited to talk about the pictures of his family on the board but was surprised when everyone already knew everyone in his family, including his grandma! He loves being called "Mr. VIP" by his teacher and even the class gets in on it and calls him different versions of that. He built a hot tub with his friend Katie, and then helped Logan out with his muddy trench! It's always fun to be in the class with him, his classmates crack me up! I wanted to share the pictures of the kids doing cartwheels. It was the first time i'd seen any of them play this way. The girls were teaching the boys and as you can tell it didn't come so easy to them! I remember my recess time, lots of twirling on bars, cartwheels, and of course the boys stealing our sweaters! It was such a beautiful day for playing outside, our kids did not waste a minute of it!

Jacob is VIP this week! Woohoo! A very big deal at our house! Jake has patiently waited for his turn and is looking forward to a week of show and tell, ringing the bell, and being the center of attention! We kicked off the week with his choice of restaurant, BJ's Pizzeria, while waiting for a table he got a sample slice of pizza, then he chose to NOT order dinner and save room for a cookies and cream pazookie! Things I learned about my VIP.. His favorite food is chocolate, no wait all candy! His favorite color right now is Black. His favorite super hero is Batman (news to all of us that see him dress up as Superman EVERYDAY!) His favorite day of the week is Friday! (TGIF! It's actually because all the cool stuff happens that day in Kindergarten). This week is going to be a lot of fun for him and us! He's growing up so fast!

Thanks to Kidshine we've been hearing all month that "...ghosts and goblins will appear! Oooooo!" Jacob is notorious for changing his mind at the last minute and switching his costume choice! However, this year he stuck to Indiana Jones! Thursday night, we went to a Halloween party with my hubby's co-workers as Mr. Incredible, a Desperate Housewife (switched to kitty cat on Friday), and Indiana Jones! We had a great time and part of my costume was a tray of homemade Jello shots! Yum! I made Margaritas, Lemon Drops, and Cherry Coke! The latter had a nice mix of Amaretto and Rum! Took me back to college days! Friday we enjoyed our wonderful Nevada Day by sleeping in, a big burrito breakfast, and watching T.V. all day! I know, I know, we are a bunch of couch potatoes! It was nice to not drive anywhere or have errands to run! We were just home! After carving pumpkins, Jake was in NO RUSH to trick-or-treat! How funny that I actually had to psych him up for trick or treating! "Jacob, you can't come home until your bucket is full!" Dad and him were out for about an hour and Jacob was satisfied with his bucket full of candy! Ok, I usually LOVE to take Jake out BUT I am hooked on book #2 of the Twighlight series and wanted to stay back to hand out candy and READ! (see pumpkin below!) Great night for vampires and werewolves! We all had fun this year and are now counting down to turkey day!
