Red Rover Red Rover October's Almost Over


There's something about tv trays that make school work more fun...
 
...add a little shaving cream to the mix and we've got not only smart kids (he he), but great smelling kids too :)

 One of our latest trips to the park... I might or might not have been balancing granola bars on my head to get the desired effect.

Since Sam learned how to ride a bike without training wheels, Sy has been wholeheartedly practicing when ever he can. But when an adult is not available for assistance, he motors away on his trike. See below. I think it's really cute.
 


A group of us that work in children's ministry at church had the sweet opportunity to go to Chicago for a KidMin conference earlier in the month. This is how our table was set during one of the 8 hour seminars. They helped us cast vision and kept us pretty busy!!

 Our nephew Grey turned one on Saturday! Here he is fascinated by the shiny bow.

 This is the cake that Grey's AMAZING mom made! Amber has been working on this party since August, and it really showed...from hanging vines to animal cracker treat bags, she covered it all!

We dressed up in costumes for the party (Sherwood happened to have trick or treating that same day). Someone was crying over spilled milk....

The kids started gym class last Friday, & here is the "under age 9" group. It was so fun to watch them play all different types of tag, and then have open swim for an hour afterwards.

 Leila's face was priceless at the start of this hot rod ride in the mall (normally I let the kids sit in them if we pass them, but since we were with Grandma, she didn't hesitate to hand out quarters!). Eventually, Leila got in the groove, but was a bit shocked at first that those things even moved.


 A couple of pics from our week long camping trip to the Pine in Florence County. We had an amazing week, right at the peek of the changing colors.

Here was our view from one of the campsites. I sat here one afternoon quietly listening to worship music and thanking God for who He Is. Nothing short of Amazing.
