Alex with Mrs. Trainer on 50's Day!

Sophie's Mission Friends class did a very
special craft last Wednesday night. Since
they didn't think it would be best to do
mummy pumpkins, they made Lazarus
pumpkins instead!

Friday the 31st was "Character Day" at Madison Elementary.
The students were encouraged to dress-up as a character from
literature. Here are some of the costumes from Alex's class:

Harry Potter, a prince, Cat in the Hat, Frog or Toad (you could choose),
Spider Man, Laura Ingalls & Junie B. Jones

While we were at the Fall Festival, Alex had an accident & hit her mouth
on the gym floor. Four days later....she's minus one tooth!

Pumpkin Carving!
















Sophie thought she was going to help clean out the pumpkin....


until she put her hand down in there for the first time. She just


watched from then on!

ROCK BAND!!
We're thinking of taking it on the road!!

On October 24th, the PTA held a Fall Festival
at the school.


Sophie even ran into her friend Emily!













Ava, Lydia & Alex














Will, the Clone Trooper

Alex's class went on a field trip to Tate Farms
on October 21st.


We went on a hayride...









picked our own pumpkins from the
pumpkin patch.....
























and enjoyed a fun day with friends!






Ava & Tyler


Alex & Abby

On our way out of town, we stopped off at Pirate's Island
for a friendly game of putt-putt.

We said our good-bye's to
Gran & Papaw and went our
seperate ways.

Will & Alex were already in the car....
they knew it was time for the annual
putt-putt adventure!

Of course, a beach trip wouldn't be complete
without a night at "The Track" to ride go-carts
and other rides!


Sophie was so proud to be brave enough to ride the
carousel alone this year!





















Will & Alex were quite competitive on the
go-carts.




And Sophie finally agreed to try the swings...
she LOVED it!

Sophie loved to swim in the pool & Alex was so good with her!

Here she is teaching her to go under.









Sophie was so proud of her accomplishment!
She would just swim around by herself for hours!
She LOVED the pool!
