My Baby Girl is 6

On Monday, November 2, Mikaela turned 6 years old.

We haven't done her yearly check up yet, so I don't have stats, but she's tall and keeps growing, despite her poor eating habits.

Food she likes:  sweets, mac n cheese, some chicken nuggets, grilled cheese, raisins, green grapes, cheese, yogurt, apples, bananas, pumpkin bread, chocolate and white milk

Activities she enjoys:  riding her bike (still trying to master no training wheels), running, coloring, watching t.v, singing

She is taking tap and ballet as well as piano.  She's doing a little better each week.

School is going well.  It's been an adjustment and she has her off days, but overall she likes it.

We had her party on Halloween this year so all her friends could wear their costumes.  Due to rainy weather, the party moved into the garage, but they still had a great time.

October

Things are busy around here, as usual, so here's a little catch up to what we've been doing around here.

Mid October Farmers Branch had their annual Blue Grass Festival which has a lot of fun kid things to do.

Harmon Family Picnic

We have some dear friends from our small group at church who have a big gathering every year out west.  Bounce houses, petting zoo, pony rides, great food, music, etc.  We went this year and had an absolute blast.  We can't wait for next year!






Dallas Arboretum

Last Saturday, 10/3 we took an outing to the Dallas Arboretum to visit the pumpkins.  My teacher badge got us in free to the arboretum and to the new Children's Garden.  We had a great time!





He probably went down 50 times.

We had an extra kid with us on this outing.  We were keeping the daughter of some friends.
