Ice Skating

 I tried to take pictures of Rachel warming up, but wasn't very successful.

And the video of her performance.....great job, Rachel!!

 

Here she is with her medal, but she changed clothes too fast so she is no longer in her cute dress.

Halloween Report

 Pumpkins used by second graders for pumpkin math....then consumed by a pig and chickens:)

 Not sure why I let her have a big knife...yes, she ended up cutting herself and destroying her pumpkin, but she had fun.

 Erin Joy's pumpkin....the results of a big knife...the eyes, nose and mouth ended up combined...

 My youngest's jack o'lantern....she drew a scary face for me to carve.

 My pumpkin...no nose because we were trying to hurry and I was carving quickly. We waited until Halloween night to carve the pumpkins so we had to carve fast and furiously so we could still trick or treat.

 And Rachel's....

 Behind bars at the police station....

 At the museum....

 Just a little rainy....

 And the candy....

 Erin had to organize her candy into piles...

whale

 We had so much fun watching this huge whale being unloaded at the Children's Museum today. It was made by elementary students at 15 local schools. It was made by braiding plastic sacks together. We thought it was pretty interesting. They left one side open so we could see the frame which was made of recycled cups and utensils. Very creative and very fun!
