DANIEL IS HOME SICK Yesterday was the first time I'd seen the inside of the heatlth office at the elementary school. The little kids hardly ever get sick! Daniel has been running a high fever with no other symptoms. His temp was 107.2 last night (I am questioning whether or not my thermometer is accurate)! He was pretty upset about missing school today because he was planning on getting another "Perfect Attendance" Award this year. Oh well, now the pressure is off. Today (after Advil) he was feeling good enough to read a book on the trampoline while the irrigation was coming.

Daniel's main motivation for playing flag football was to win a trophy, and here it is! Now he'll have the goods for a very cool Show-And Tell next week at school.

DANIEL WINS A TROPHY AWESOME PANTHERS COACHES

We didn't get a picture to prove it, but Daniel actually ran about 10 yards with the ball today! He also did a great job blocking a really big kid! He is finally getting the hang of it, and today was the last game. Oh well. . . there's always next year.

VETERAN'S DAY PARADE DOWNTOWN TEMPE The band marched in the parade then loaded the bus and headed to California. They will perform Saturday at the "Big Orange Classic" in Riverside, California. Afterwards, they'll head to California Adventures! Fun, fun!

We had a wonderful Halloween! We haunted the church for "Trunk or Treat," then hit our favorite neighborhood . . . WOW, the kids scored some serious candy! They love to dump it all out and sort it. Ahhhh, brings back fond memories. At one of the houses the guy said "Oh, I haven't bought any candy yet, here, have a dollar instead." The kids thought that was pretty cool!

HaPpY HaLLoWeEeen!

SUPER SCARY SNAKE BOY

TY "Fitzgerald" & DANIEL "Snakey"

Annual School HaLLoWeEn Parade Erin and Daniel had fun marching around the playground showing off their costumes and checking out everyone else's! We saw a slice of pizza, a hot dog, and even a whoopie cushion costume! How's that for original?

I'VE BEEN SINGING THE TIGGER SONG ALL MORNING! The wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers are wonderful things, their tops are made outa rubber, their tails are made outa springs! They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, full of fun, fun, fun! The wonderful thing about Tiggers is . . . . I'm the only one! (Sing it!) I'M THE ONLY ONE!

Aren't Ariel and Tigger soooo cute?

Mom made me hold my tail so it wouldn't get dirty.

HAPPY TO BE IN CDS BAND

ASU Band Day - A Huge Success for Corona! Congratulations to the Marching Band for their Superior with Distinction rating and for receiving Caption awards in all five categories including Outstanding Music Performance, Outstanding Visual Performance, Outstanding Percussion, Outstanding Color Guard, and Outstanding Drum Majors!

Miranda Wow, what a night! We were at ASU until 11:30 last night watching some pretty amazing bands. I can't really express the feeling of pride we had when they announced the final award to our Corona Band. They were the only band to receive a "Superior with Distinction" Award and then to receive the other five awards on top of that! We are glad that Miranda is a part of this awesome tradition of excellence!
