Maggie had her first trumpet lesson this week. She’s been looking forward to this since the end of last year when she found out that she’d be playing it (her top three choices were trumpet, flute, and percussion).

The girls and I checked out some fun Halloween decorations near their dance studio.

This house changes their display each week, depending on who the Bills are playing.

Another house had a fun fairy mailbox. There was a sign that said if you left your name in the mailbox, the fairies would bring you a pumpkin the next morning.

The girls were so excited to find their names on pumpkins.

The fairies gave them each a small toy too.

Each kindergarten student has a fifth grade reading buddy. Annie’s teacher shared this cute picture of Annie with her buddy.

Adam had three soccer games. Two of the games ended in a tie and they won one of them.

Friday, poor Annie got off of the bus in tears. After a trip to urgent care and some antibiotics for an ear infection, she’s feeling much better.

On Saturday, I took Maggie to a football game at my school.

I had mentioned to some of my students that Maggie was excited to see real cheerleaders. One of the girls talked to her coach and asked if Maggie could join them before the game.

She let Maggie borrow her pom poms and taught her a cheer.

They even put Maggie up into a stunt. It was the sweetest thing ever and Maggie had the biggest smile the whole time.
