Halloween Party

We went to the Down Syndrome Association annual Halloween party.

Natalie was supposed to be a witch, but she kept growling at me

She really liked the streamers hanging in the doorway

Bailey was a cheerleader

A Kindermusic session was given at the party
Natalie loved the tambourine

Bailey liked the wooden sticks

Natalie liked them too because they made lots of noise

She also liked the bells

Natalie won a door prize of this abacus

Rachel is Back!

Rachel hurt one of her knees at the beginning of the high school season so she has been sitting on the bench for the last 7 weeks. She finally got to play this week.

Rachel got many chances to block.

I think her uniform needs to be longer.

Mallory was home from college for fall break and brought Natalie to the game with her. Natalie always hams it up when I take her picture.
