Many of you already know that we are selling our house and buying another. We are in the final stages now and the closing date is set for November 23rd! We're not moving far, just a few blocks away and I will post pictures as soon as I can (how about a video tour!). I just thought I'd share the pictures that I took for listing our house. I'm really going to miss this place but I'm also excited about the potential that the "new" one will have :)

Jamie started Kindergarten this year. He is in the Spanish Immersion program and he loves it. We did not expect him to want to practice so much Spanish at home, but I almost have the entire Spanish alphabet song memorized just from listening to him. I did take 3 years of Spanish in school, and then I tutored Chad for 3 more when he took it, so I do know quite a few words. Sometimes Jamie will ask me to say a word and then tell me "you don't say it right", which basically means he does not like my english accent. His first conference was last week and teacher had only praises for him. She says that he always has such a great attitude and I'm thinking "is this the same Jamie?". I'm glad to hear that he is at least putting a lot of effort into pleasing his teacher and doing a good job.
Abby is now in the 3-4 year old class at preschool. One of her best friends is in the class too so she really loves it. We just got her school portraits so I will have to post those soon.
First we went to a Halloween party at Jamie's school Tuesday evening. Then Abby had her preschool party Wednesday morning. Saturday evening was our Halloween carnival at Seaside. For that I wore my wig and Abby did not like it! She kept asking me to take it off but I told her I wasn't going to until after the party. By the end of the night she did warm up to it and told "I like your hair mom". Several people did not recognize me, or at least not at first. It was a lot of fun, it's been years since I've dressed up! Finally, on Halloween we went to dinner at my parents and the kids trick-or-treated around their block (which they totally loved this year!). Needless to say, I'm glad all the sugar highs are over!
