It's Halloween Sunday, and trick-or-treating will be tonight. Grace has officially settled on being Cinderella, and she's already worn the costume one time at her kindergarten Halloween party. Hopefully the rain stays away tonigh for our outing. We're also bringing Claire, though we don't know her costume yet.

School continues to go well for Grace. She was the "Beary Special Person" in her classroom last week which meant that she shared things about herself and got to do some fun things. She definitely loves going to school.

Grace spends a lot of times these days drawing pictures. She's really taken to it, and she's pretty good. Although last night she drew a scarecrow in which one hand was about 20 times bigger than the other. Pretty funny.

Grace and Michelle are at Sunday school right now. Grace started that this year, and she's really enjoyed it so far. We've also started teaching her some new prayers at home, and she's amazingly good at learning them.

Grace has spent a lot of time playing outside lately, mostly because the weather has been beautiful for a few weeks now. We got some new neighbors a couple months ago, and they have four girls--one of whom goes to Kindergarten with Grace. So that's been a great thing, as the kids are constantly playing outside between the two yards.

Grace and Michelle are planning on putting the finishing touches on Grace's Halloween costume today. The problem is that a final decision on the costume hasn't been made. It was Cinderella for a long time, then about a month ago it switched to Jesse the cowgirl from Toy Story. Suddenly this morning it switched back to the possibility of Cinderella. Stay tuned.

We're heading to Omaha today to a pumpkin patch that we've heard is a great time for kids. Grace had her appointments with her Iowa City specialist last week, and everything checked out 0-kay. We'll head back to Iowa City in March unless something comes up in the meantime. Grace has joined the Girls Scouts; Michelle went to the first parent meeting the other night.
