Mommy's First Day...

Today I had the opportunity to volunteer in Amanda's class for the first time! It was a quick 2 1/2 hours of cutting out hundreds of pieces of black paper for the spider hats for their upcoming halloween party, and putting the final touches on the class scarecrow for the auction at tonight's Fall Festival. It was fun to see how the class works and to watch her amazing teacher in action!!

A few more fun things to mention...


We have started a new family devotional book, complete with Bible story and a project. Last week's topic was creation, and the activity was to cut pictures of things God made out of magazines and glue it onto a poster. Andrew & Amanda both loved it, and they both have their posters hanging in their room. Each day we thank God for all that He made!

Last week Lisa & I took the kids to the park for some fall pictures, with the promise that they could play if they were good. Colin did okay (he doesn't LOVE to cooperate), but the rest of them were had their smiles and were ready to pose! The pictures at the top of the blog are from that day... here are a few more cute ones. We were thankful for the beautiful weather and the opportunity to get outside!!

The photo shoot... aren't they cute??!!

Nothing is quite as fun as spinning... and spinning... and spinning!
