Taylor Elementary Halloween Parade and Party

I just wanted to share some pics of the kids at their school party. I had a great time helping out in their classroom, and the kids had a blast at the party. I love that the school throws political correctness out the window and still has a "Halloween" party and not a "Fall festival". They are going to have a Christmas party too. The kids are practicing "Away in a Manger" in their classroom. They'll be singing it at the school Christmas program. SWEET!
Both girls wanted to be Fairy Princess ballerinas. Easy... wings, crowns, and tutus.
Caleb wanted to be a super hero ...again. He'll always be my little heroThe kids spent the morning making bat puppets, paper ghosts, mummy pizza's,spider suckers, they also sang songs, and had story time and colored pictures. WOW what a party!

I wish our kids's school aloud halloween parties. I remember wearing my costume to actual school as a kid and it was always the best day of the year.

We may come visit sometime but we might need to borrow winter gear. We want to take the kids to see the snow and Jacob and I haven't even been in the snow since I was pregnant with Joseph!

Gurr Family Dictionary

Those of you who have spent time with our family may have noticed that at times, we seem to have a language of our own. I thought it would be helpful to let you know what some of our favorite words and phrases mean to us.

Adgita (ad-je-tu) n. The feeling of being annoyed, or having heartburn, or indigestion. "Honey, I ate to much chili-dog-Pie, and it gave me adgita."

Buggy (bug'i) n. Any off road vehicle used solely for recreational purposes. Also known as ATV's. "Dad will you take us for a buggy ride on the Ranger ?"

Choke v. This is what the kids call throwing up. " I'm feelling sick. I think I am going to choke."

Choncho (chon-choe) n. A small town in northeastern AZ. the town is actually called Concho, but it reminds us of the town in the movie "Nacho Libre". So, we named it after a character in the movie... Choncho. "Man, If I had a double wide in Choncho, and one in Hell. I'd rent out the one in Choncho, and live in Hell.

Gee-on-out-o-here! adv. An expression directed at dogs. Adam loves shouting this phrase at dogs. He does it just so he can sound like a red neck. It's actually quite hillarious when he says it.

"Becauase I'm not Grandma that's why."
