Windy Day Fun

Mark was feeling creative on Sunday...



...and created a....

...."Wind Machine!"

One gust proved to be pretty strong....it knocked Mark right off course!
 

Our Little Ballerina....

....watched a Swan Lake video...



...that taught her some basic ballet dancing moves.



It caught her attention for quite some time!
And, the outfit was fun to wear all day, too!

Election Day 2012.....

....is here!

Yesterday, our homeschool group held a mock election and we had our registration cards ready to go.



So, we received our ballots...



...and marked an X on the box....

...by the name of the best man for the job of president....



...and cast our votes!

God Bless America!

Triple A....

...is Grandpa Wes's new nickname for Buttercup!

It stands for...



Awesome And Aggressive!



Watch out for the "Triple A" threat on the court....
she loves basketball!

Our homeschool group had an All Saint's Day party this morning....

...and there were games to play...

....and prizes to win!

Happy All Saint's Day!

For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
who thee by faith before the world confessed,
thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia, Alleluia!

Thou wast their rock, their fortress, and their might;
thou Lord, their captain in the well-fought fight;
thou in the darkness drear, their one true light.
Alleluia, Alleluia!

O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
and win with them the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
 

Happy Halloween

On Tuesday night, we prepared our pumpkins...



....to be jack-o-lanterns.

This was Nacho's design...

...this was Buttercup's design....

...and this was Moe's design....shining brightly on this very Halloween night!

This year, we had a pioneer girl...

....a tiger...

...a Tigger...

...and a Marian fan.
(This was Moe's 5th year of being a fan....each year he picks a different team!)

It was a nice evening....

...and Coco was able to travel by golf-cart for part of the route....tucked warmly under a blanket....so she made it through the whole neighborhood trek!

Moe and Rocky found the  house that gave out the King size bars...

....and started bartering almost immediately with Rocky as soon as they put their candy on the table.

There were smiles galore...

.....and energy abounded as Nacho ran full speed to every house and didn't slow down at all!

Happy Halloweeen!
Save us a treat and bring it when you come, Grandpa Wes and Grandma Jo!
