Aaron's seed project

Last month Aaron's class was doing a seed project. That meant that for two weeks I had to save the seed out of every fruit or vegetable that we ate. Aaron was really good at reminding me to keep them. :)

He did a really good job. All I did was print the pictures out and man the hot glue gun. He ended up with seeds from 15 fruits and vegetables. Next thing to tackle...a science fair project for Emma.

Halloween 2011

We had a lot of fun this Halloween! The kids have been going through a phase where they love to dress up...so Halloween meant they got to put on their favorite costumes. And yes, I said costumeS because some of them wore a different one to each Halloween event we went to. I have to admit that I had a lot of fun dressing them up too. Now if only I could figure out a way to keep my hands out of the candy bowls, I would like Halloween a little bit more.
Emma and two of her friends dressed up as Cindy Lou Who from 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas.' They were soooo cute!

This is Emma, Aaron (batman), and Abigail (Minnie Mouse) before they left for school on Halloween. I was grateful their school let them dress up because some of the other elementary schools in town didn't allow the students to wear costumes.

Steven got to be the bumble bee that was in the closet. I think everyone of the kids has been this for their first Halloween. I've definately gotten my money's worth out of it. :)

Jacob has really gotten into Toy Story lately so he wanted to be Buzz Lightyear. Luckily, a friend of mine had this costume so we got to borrow it. Jacob was so excited! It was a fun Halloween for everyone!
