J amd Larry were in a show this weekend, THe Best Christmas Pagent Ever. J was one of the hooligans, and Larry played the husband of the lady directing the play. This girl was the main hooligan kid.

I got the kids all dressed up and took their pictures. I'm glad it was kinda warm, for B's sake, in her short-sleeved shirt.

We had a pinata party at school this week!

You can't see J, but he's there on the second row. He's a french horn player, and this is the final bow after their Winter Concert.

I got to bring home Thanksgiving leftovers from our travels around the state. I thought Mom would be proud I had so many veggies on my plate, to go with the very heavy foods of Thanksgiving that we love to eat.

My parents' dog would like ot be a lap dog. Her head fits in B's lap, but that's about it.

This is the Thanksgiving spread at my Mom's and Dad's. We ate Thanksgiving on Thursday and then again on Friday. Heavy weekend!

This is Lar's niece and her son. They really look a lot alike! We saw them at Thanksgiving.

This is B's project about the sun. I liked how she got facts about the sun and putthem on the top with red wire. It was interesting!

B makes coathanger trees in her room before she gives me the hangers back.

November 1-25

Here's my second catching up post. November stuff I took pictures of:

B was interested in heritage photos

My car is making patterns with the numbers on the odometer. I can't help but notice them.
I made a rainbow for letter R with each child making a segment of the rainbow.

The train. At the library, you're literally a few feet from all that power. It's kinda scary!

B at the Scout House with her new American Girl mini doll

J taking a picture of the mirror



J was in Flashback Fever. My other blog has more photos!

I was waiting for the train to pass one night. If you're an Aggie, do you know where I was sitting??

Turkey cookies for snack.

We put our thankful thoughts into a box this month. here are all our ideas on the table.

Another shot at school---writing on the white board is a rare treat for them!

B and the pecan pie she helped me make (before it got baked!). We sent it up to J's school for the teacher drawing right before Thanksgiving. Throughout the day, they drew teachers' names, and they then got to go to the library and pick a pie that someone from the PTO had brought up. I don't know who got ours, but sure would like to.

My necklace I bought for myself. I just totally love it. There are earrings to match that I didn't get, but if I ever get invited to a Premiere jewelry party, I will get them!

B got 1st place at the district meet for Art Memory!! Go girl!!

That's it--until I post this week's photos!

October Photos

I am catching up!! I am so far behind that I am just starting with a photo a day on Thanksgiving. However, I have some October pictures to share----
Before crazy hair day (braids in hair overnight to create waves that next day)
After

mini-Pumpkin carving

I can't share many school photos, but this one is safe.

J and B went to the TROUPE lock-in---J in his straight jacket, B, his nurse, with a giant shot.

J and Larry were in "Dirty Dealings in Dixie," a Gone with the Wind spoof melodrama.

Rhett and Scarlett

J and Lar in the same scene. Lar was the villain, J was Ashley.

Lar about to be shot----or was he?

I caught this guy driving on the road with his 4-wheeler. I am annoyed by him, and now I can send this to the cops??? I was inside my house, looking through the door to get this sneaky shot!

Another school shot. I made a number line. Red dots for even numbers, next will be blue for multiples of 3.

This school shot shows our calendar. We add a weather report on each day we come, and at the end of the month, we do a graph. What did we have the most of? Sunny or cloudy?

Dusk shot---of the neighborhood bar. Never been there, of course, but I liked the neon sign as contrast to the light in the sky.

This is our new police station in Bryan. I love the way the lights look at night.

Next post? November 1-26.

B and I had some fresh veggies with our dinner, and I found this mutant carrot.

It was Middle School Band Night at the high school---and Homecoming. Was that on purpose? Anyway, Larry went as a chaperone for the junior high and took pictures for us. I thought this one the most interesting---but maybe just me and my flag corps sister might think that! This was a pre-game thing they did, playing for the middle school kids, maybe? The band sat on the visitor's side, playing across the field. J was there, hanging around and sitting with the high school french horn players.

October Photo 14

There aren't may pictures I can share of my students---but this one where he's goofy I can use! ;-) Can you see my Social Studies posters on the wall behind him? I have photos from the Internet of the President, Governor, and the Mayors of our twin cities. This boy was enjoying the Star Student privileges of sitting in the chair and sharing some of his toys from home.

October Photo 13

I cropped this one so you can't tell who these girls are (unless you just "know" anyway!). We had an evening at Tabitha Class to begin our church scrapbooks, in preparation for the LTC competition in April. We will work together in two groups (3rd through 5th and 6th through 8th) making two scrapbooks of things out youth and church family ahve done during the year. My plan is to do this about once a month.

October Photo 12

J made All-City Band,a dn here's the group. He is the third head from the roght, looking right at lar, who was taking this picture. ;-)

October Photo 11

B was making a bowl from a balloon and a paper mache mixture. The balloon ended up deflating before she got done with the newspaper part---so it had to get scrapped!

October Photo 10

Is this backpack too big? Yes, it is as heavy as it looks. There is a computer in there, a bunch of spiral notebooks, a binder (and another binder for band isn't in there!), shoes for gym, pens, pencils, sunglasses, etc. What can be done? No one has lockers at this school.

October Photo 9

This is some of the dough---and for some reason, it got really gooey on "this" boy's turn.
