Halloween at AppleTree with Gage...

Gage was our little zebra this Halloween, and his good buddy, Bode, was Spider Man.  It's so cute to see these two together lately.  Big Bro (Gavin) and Big Sis (Callie) are in the same class together, too, and became good buddies during preschool last year.  His mom and my good friend, Natalie, and I were just commenting the other day that Gage and Bode are really becoming friends, not just pals by default.  They look for each other and are visibly and audibly excited to see one another.  Gage has nicknamed him "Bodester," and I had nothing to do with it, really.  We're bummed that they won't be in the same class next year.  :( 

Did I know that I was wearing a zebra shirt that day??  I don't think I meant for us to match, but stranger things have happened I suppose.  I'm so blessed to be able to attend my kids' class parties and school events.  I'd like to start volunteering in their classrooms more regularly.  Like Natalie recently said, "We've got to do it now because how much longer are they going to want us in their classrooms?"
