The Chipmunks Rock



Featuring Alvin, Simon and Theodore

Happy Halloween from The Washburn Family!!! I know it has been forever since I posted. I have even been accused of forgetting that I had a blog. Well, I just thought I would share some of our photos from this evening. We just decided to do some trick or treating and hang around the big town of Belton for the evening. We wanted to go to the football game but, we waited too late and tickets were all sold out. Anyway, we had fun for the most part and the kids looked great!!! Thanks to my Mom, the kids looked GREAT for another Halloween!!! I couldn't do Halloween without her I don't think. Tonight the kids were the Lovable Chipmunks! Brittanie starred as Alvin, with Kyle as Simon and Brackston as Theodore! They were simply adorable and got lots of comments!!! We had fun with it!! We topped our evening off with dinner at Burger King and dessert at Maggie Moo's!!! Yummy!!!! Well, I will do my best not to let 3 weeks pass before my next post but, I am exhausted and need some sleep!

The night is young!

Time Flies!!


Brackston's first report card!!

I can not believe that we have already flown through the first six weeks of school. Today was Parent/Teacher Conferences and I got my baby's first report card. It is super cute!! I love kindergarten report cards. They just remind me of the simple days when all you had do document was an E for excellent, and S for satisfactory or the dreaded N for needs inprovement! Bubba did great and his teacher was very positive! She said he is a great kid and is incredibly bright!!! Yeah!!!! I am not sure how I got blessed with three bright kids but, I sure will take it. They even recommended him for GT (gifted and talented). Isn't that crazy?? I didn't even know that they did that in kindergarten. That seems awfully early to be setting those kids apart but, I guess if they need extra work and to be challenged, I say FABULOUS!!! The funny part of the conference was when the teacher mentioned that we had the little cutie in the class. She said that ALL the girls are concerened with whether Brackston is coming to school today or "where is Brackston, Ms. Rackley"? She said it is absolutely hysterical. She said that we better get ready because, he is quite the lady's man. Wow, a little early for that too!!! Oh the days of young love, LOL!!!
