Book Character Parade

Ryland and Reed had an awesome character parade at school.  The weather was beautiful, so the students paraded through the playground.  Ridley and I watched and cheered.

Ryland wore his Halo costume without the mask and weapons, so he could be a military guy  like in his book.  He was all smiles and first in his class line.

Reed was a super ninja from his Lego book, and he stayed in character the entire parade.  His eyes gave away the huge smile hidden by his mask.

Book Character Parade

Old Union Elementary doesn't have Halloween parties, so they have some dress up fun with  a Book Character Parade.  The students dress up as their favorite character and get to walk around holding their book for all the parents to cheer them on.  It is a cute way to celebrate!  Ryland was an Army soldier, and I think he looked adorable.  I mean tough...

Stars Academy Last Day

The last day of the year always brings out the emotions.  I learned the hard way a few years ago, so I now open these memory books when I get home.  Both books were very sweet and made me realize how much my little babies have grown this year.

Enjoying a good book

Daddy snapped a picture of me enjoying a good book with the boys.  Reed was all about cuddling and even fell asleep.  Ryland wanted to read his "Things That Go" book.  I happily agreed even though I can almost recite the book unseen.  I love these sweet little moments!
