Today since Quinn was off from school we took a trip to our local pumpkin patch. It didn't compare to the great one from VA last year, but we didn't expect it too. The girls enjoyed the hayride, we stopped at a cornfield and they got to pick an ear of Indian corn. The also enjoyed the farm animals and maze and decorating a pumpkin. It was an enjoyable, but COLD, day.

Last night I went to Quinn's Parent Teacher conference, I was thrilled to finally get feedback from her teacher. She showed me some of Quinn's work, all of which she had done really well. She said Quinn is absolutely one of her favorites, she listens well and works very hard. She said Quinn is the most enthusiastic in the class for learning, Quinn always wants to write letters and try to learn new words. The kids are starting to work on blending sounds and sound out words. She said Quinn is one of the best in the class at this and showed me 5 words that Quinn was able to write from sounding them out (cat, sat, bat, rat and mat). She also said that Quinn socializes very well and is one of the most liked children in class because she can make friends with anyone.

She had no concerns at all, only praise. I was thrilled to hear all of this since we had struggled so much with the decision to send Quinn to school. It made me so proud to hear that she was doing so well.
