Halloween

It is Halloween!

School Spirit Day

Today at the girls' school it was Spirit Day. Appropriate for Halloween, today was 80's day! I was also able to attend and help with Campbell's class party.

PT Conferences

Tonight is PT Conferences. We are interested to hear what Campbell's teacher has to report. Cooper has been a studious student since preschool. She was always eager to learn new things, accept a challenge, and her ambition led her to complete big projects. Now Campbell is a different story. Campbell is a different girl. Campbell is a different student. Again, we are interested to hear what Campbell's teacher has to report about her.

Selling Girl Scout Cookies

Campbell is selling Girl Scout Cookies! This process has changed over the years from who can sell them, to when they can sell them, and now the fact that we preorder the cookies and we have cookies on hand to deliver as we sell them. It is quite the process. Even though Cooper is no longer a Girl Scout, she didn't mind lending some advice from her years selling cookies to her younger sister. It was success!

Working Harvest

Chad is in Napa this week working wine harvest with our friend Grant. I know the extra work, time, and toll it will take on me as I tend to the girls this week alone, but I'm happy to do it. Just to see the excitement in his face and hear the delight in his voice as he tells all his stories of things he does, learns, and sees while on his adventure.

School Carnival

It is once again time for the annual school carnival. Cooper had a responsibility of manning a game station for an hour since she is on the Student Council. After her work shift was complete, we allowed her to enjoy the games at the carnival with her friends. We decided Campbell deserved our attention and excitement as it was her first "real" year for the school carnival. She enjoyed the easy games and little prizes.

Girl Scout Sock Hop

Tonight is Campbell's night to attend the Girl Scout Sock Hop. Back by popular demand, this Father/Daughter dance was a hit when Cooper was this age and in Girl Scouts. Oma helped make Cooper's poodle skirt and in keeping tradition she helped make Campbell's poodle skirt. Chad was just as proud to show off his youngest daughter, as he was a few years ago showing off his oldest daughter. What a treat to see!

Fourth Grade Field Trip to the Konza Prairie

Cooper's class took a field trip today to the Konza Prairie. Chad was excited to be able to join Cooper on her field trip for the day.

Napa Group

It is always better to remember the good times had, then to dwell on the changes that have taken place. In an effort to do just that, the Napa Group pulled together today for some food, wine, and laughs at The Koenig's poolside. Chad had scallops and shrimp flown in from North Carolina.

Student Council

Cooper has been selected to represent her class on the Student Council at her school. She is so excited to have been chosen. She will have weekly meetings and will help promote spirit days and fundraisers at school. Congrats Cooper!!

Kindergarten Field Trip

Campbell's Kindergarten class is taking a field trip today to the Pumpkin Patch. Chad is excited to attend with Campbell.
