Lasts

  This week I found several full punch cards for different places around town. So today we had a last hurrah day and got free burgers, free bouncing and free ice cream. It was SO much fun to be out on the town with my kiddos!

Ruth went to her last Girl Scout meeting. Paige (the troop leader) choked up when she was telling everyone it was her last time, boy did that do me in! I will miss working in primary with Paige and Amy. And I know Ruth will miss Paige's girls. 

I also went to my last sewing group here in California. Here we all are, minus Kathy Smith who organized the whole thing...and is taking this picture

Pics I Missed

Big Girl

Claire informed me at lunch today that she doesn't like Charlie Brown and Snoopy any more...because she's a big kid. I told her that big kids were allowed to like Snoopy, but I don't know that I convinced her; she's spent all afternoon being Woody and shooting everyone with Buzz's gun!

Nightmare

Will said he had a nightmare about a baby monster. He was trying to shove a stick down it's throat but it wouldn't go. So he pushed harder and that made the monster puke up a clock. I don't know if that was a fever induced dream or if he's just got creepy things rolling around in his head, poor little sick kid!

Weekly Highlights

I was ecstatic to see Will's writing from his science class. His little hand apparently got tired because he needed a scribe, but I love that he wrote all by himself, "Monkeys groom to show they care." 

Claire's eternal ride on the carousel while waiting for our oil change...seriously it lasted for 10 minutes!

 Ruth's art projects from school

Projects

This week Ruth finished her quilt top and I finished my King size quilt.

I also finished Halloween costumes, curled my hair one day (that is definitely considered a project) and painted Halloween nails, woo!
