Halloween Trick-or-Treating

It is Halloween and time to put on the costumes again.  When it was time for pictures, Jordan was a little grumpy so Lexi did her best to cheer him up.  It worked like a charm of course.  We were all much happier.  

They didn't want me to be a "boring mom" this year, so I added a dab of gore to my neck.

We went trick-or-treating with some good friends.  Savannah was Cindy-Lou Who.  Lexi was a 3-Ring Leader.  Maddie was a ballerina. Sam was a construction worker.  McKenna was an Indian Princess.  Jordan was a Lion Tamer/Strong Man.

Anti-Bullying Poster

Some of the older kids at school have been asked to make a poster for either anti-bullying or anti-drugs.  This is what Lexi came up with.  It is a couple of female rock stars singing about not bullying.  This whole week of school is dedicated to both.

Trunk-or-Treat

Our church trunk-or-treat was tonight.  We picked costumes as circus folks.  Lexi is a 3-ring leader and Jordan is a strong man/lion tamer.  I made Lexi's shirt a few weekends ago. I thought it would be a good project because she can wear it lots of times.  

We had a good time at the trunk-or-treat.  They had chili and corn bread like usual.  Then there was a little costume parade and the trunk-or-treat.  Lexi and Jordan desperately wanted to walk around with their friends, so I talked to mine.  It was a fun evening for all of us.  We were one of the last ones to leave.  

Entertainers

This evening, Lexi and Jordan decided to put on a performance for me.  They were upstairs figuring out what to do.  I heard lots of commotion.  They asked me to sit on the couch.  They announced it from the stairs.  Lexi did the sound affects on the keyboard and Jordan did a lot of silly things.  It ended up with him on the floor like he was dead.  Funny kids.

Playdate with Neighbor

Lexi and Jordan have been asking to have neighbor friends over after school.  Lexi had Kristina come.  They did their homework together, giggled, and had fun before we walked her home.  Kristina and Lexi were in the same class in first grade.  She lives in our neighborhood, so she often walks with us after school or I give her a ride when I drive because it is too hot or too cold.

Primary Program

The primary program was today.  It is the day that the kids take over our church meeting.  They sing and each have a line to say.  The eight year olds were asked to wear white to sing a special song.  One of the moms took a picture of all of them after it was over, which made me really happy because I didn't take any pictures.  Lexi has so many great friends in this picture.  All of these girls were at her birthday party, except for two that moved in this summer.  It is a great group.

Little Chilly

We are experiencing our first Fall weather.  I'm just happy the a/c isn't running.
