Life in a Mound of Flowers: November 2013

Jungle Jog and Wally!!

Hayden's school had their yearly fundraiser...a fun run during the school day! Each grade level ran for 45 minutes throughout the day and raised money. It ended up being a randomly hot October day, so the kids were pretty worn out when they were done but they did a great job! Hayden's class raised the most money out of his while school, so that was pretty exciting.

At the starting line!

He ran about 85% of the 45 minutes!!

Getting his wristband marked...completed 39 laps...14 more than were 'encouraged'!

Hot but excited to have completed the run!

Soon after this, Hayden was the student of the week, which concluded with bringing Wally the Wildcat home for the weekend!

All About Hayden

Pumpkin Palooza

We made our regular treks to the pumpkin patch this year...2 whole times! We did a trip with all the family, and a trip with friends for a party. The kids had a great time as usual running around, picking pumpkins, eating snacks, and jumping in bounce houses of course. The weather was perfect for fall!

Party Time!!

Hayden had his friend party at Chuck E Cheese this year! He had been wanting one there but we had been putting it off until everyone was a little older. It was by far his smallest party to date...just close friends, which he really enjoyed! Everyone had a blast and really enjoyed themselves :-)

Thank you to everyone who made Hayden's day and celebrated with him!

Happy 6th Birthday Hayden!

Last month Hayden turned 6 years old! He is full swing in kindergarten, and having a great time. He is a sports fanatic...it doesn't matter much which sport, they are all good in his mind! He has a mind that never stops working...from calculating time, reading, to figuring out multiplication, and always wanting to know more. He enjoys playing outside, and is great with Parker. He loves being with his friends to have fun and just be silly! He absolutely loves to travel and is always wanting to know what is up next...he's a planner :-) He is incredibly bright, enormously kind, and wonderfully happy!
