Well…it is time once again for a quarter in review! So sorry that I never update anymore. Mike got me new device for Christmas and I would love to promise that it will help me update more often, but…I won’t promise. I’ll try to do better though!
End of September
We ended September with a Girl Scout campout. I took our troop just down to a local park to camp. Riverfront Park has an attached RV park. It was great fun because I didn’t have to transport the girls, but we got to have a great time camping anyway. We tried playing Capture the Flag at night, but one of the girls got hurt and I got too nervous!
October
The first weekend in October, I got to go down to Portland for a Women of Faith Conference. My friend Jessica and I went down early and hung out downtown Portland for some great fun shopping!
We even visited the famous “Voodoo Donuts”!
About 20 other ladies from our church also came down and we had a great time listening to the speakers all day Saturday!
Anika now likes to steal our cameras and take weird pictures of herself with them…so here’s one!
We did our traditional pumpkin farm visit of course!
For Debbie’s birthday we all met at Heather’s house and we had a blast seeing all the cousins and local Greats!
Then, of course, there was Halloween! Anika was a mad scientist.
November
The month of November is always a little slow for pictures. I purposely tried to get some just so I’d have something to say about the poor month of November on this blog.
One day the girls didn’t have school and we went up to Bellingham to do a little fun shopping. Anika got a balloon tying kit. So this is Kelby’s first balloon animal she tied herself!
We helped to arrange the “Operation Christmas Child Box” ministry at our church. Everyone brought gift boxes that are donated to Samaritans Purse and given out all over the world. Our church collected 43 boxes this year.
This year I arranged to get myself on the “emergency teacher substitution” list at our school district. I got to be a 4th grade teacher on the Monday for Thanksgiving. The teacher that I subbed for had great systems in place…so I took pictures of her classroom for ideas I can maybe use someday.
I got to go to the King Tut exhibit at our Pacific Science Center in Seattle with Tegan’s class. It was a pretty neat exhibit with lots of REALLY old stuff!
On Thanksgiving we went over to Debbie and George’s house. The girls always love to see all those cousins!
Then…before the end of November, we had the tree up!
