New Slippers
While at Wal-Mart this morning, Zach saw these adorable Lightning McQueen slippers and went nuts! Since he has outgrown his ones from last year, we picked them up ...and some camo ones for Drew. They haven't left his feet much every since. In fact he wanted to wear them into school to pick up Drew this afternoon (mean mom wouldn't let him though).

1st OT Therapy Session
The boys quietly played video games while waiting for us to meet with the OT regarding the results of his tests and for his therapy to begin.

When we saw Michelle, she said she feels that Drew has a few areas where he has sensory problems and believes that with a few months of therapy we will see great improvements. We sure hope so!! To start us off in home activities to use with him, we are to try wrapping him in a heavy blanket and then rolling a large workout ball up and down him, stopping to apply pressure especially at joints. She said she will add more things during the weeks ahead. Sure hope this helps him out!!

Tree Shopping
This afternoon, on our way home from church, we stopped by a local nursery to check out their trees. As soon as we pulled in the parking lot, Drew spot these pumpkins and begged for me to take their picture with them. lol

Republic Pumpkin Daze
This morning I worked the PTO Scarecrow contest table at the Republic Pumpkin Daze during the check-in time. I was amazed at all the create entries their were...and even MORE shocked to find out later in the afternoon that our class scarecrow won for the PreK/K division!! After helping out at the PTO booth, I spent a little time checking out the event. Then I went home and John & I brought the boys up to look around for awhile. It was PACKED by that time!

Fun Pedicure!
Last Saturday morning, Erin Williams and I made our monthly Girl Time getting pedicures. I really like the fun iridescent color and the happy little flower with jewel. Even though I am not a foot person, every time I look at my toes it makes me smile :)

EC Garden Club
Each week on Thursday after school, Drew's teacher is holding a Garden Club for any EC students and their parents that wish to attend. Today was the 1st meeting. The kids learned about the different areas on the garden and then spent time collecting seeds for their own gardens at home and then pulled some weeds in the EC Garden. To Drew's excitement, Mrs. Sly used him as her helper for pointing out the different areas of the garden. Since their class had already visited the garden every Friday since the beginning of the school year, he was very familiar with the area and was very proud to show it off to the other kids.
