Thank you so much, Grandma Lyn, for sending new undies to the kids! They were all so excited to try them on, and show them off. But, only Jim and Joe got pictures taken. Pictures of spiderman undies on little kids is cool. Pictures of undies on big kids is just inappropriate!
What a fun time we had at the library today! This was one of the many "face to face" opportunities our school has to offer. Anyone in OHVA in the Chillicothe area was invited to come and participate in a fun get-together at the library. The kids played relay games, listened to stories, ate a snack, decorated cards for soldiers, made foam bead necklaces, played board games, and just had fun!
We were glad that our friends from church, the Tyres and the Stalcups were there! It's so nice having church friends be our school friends! Kids, moms, and babies all enjoyed themselves!!!
OK, my friends. One of my favorite shows is returning within days to CBS, and I can't help out the ratings by watching it. So, if you would please, tune in to Jericho on CBS and watch it for me. Well, watch it so that the ratings are bumped up, and they'll keep it on the air. I was so sad when they almost cancelled it last time. Thanks to all who sent NUTS to bring it back.
I watched the first 3 episodes of the new season online, and they're AWESOME! The sad thing is that now I have to wait at least 4 more weeks to see a new episode (see, there are downsides to watching things early online). Check out my sidebar about my TV shows to find the link to Watch Jericho, Season 2, the first 3 episodes. SO gooooooood!. Try it, I think you'll like it :)
This was a very nice slide show. I loved seeing President Hinckley the times that he came to BYU that I was there. What an awesome man and prophet!

This has got to be one of my favorite pages. I know I'm wicked, but I couldn't help but snap this photo of Jimmy saying his prayers tonight. So cute!!!
We sure loved President Hinckley. He was such a great man, and a great prophet. He was the prophet for all of my adult life. I still remember when he was called as a prophet when I was a freshman in college at BYU. He did such great work for the church and for the world. He truly loved us all. You will be missed, President Hinckley.
Well, maybe it's because I have brown eyes, but I think that these two have the most beautiful brown eyes.....what do you think?!!!!
This was hysterical. You just HAVE to go and see it!
A Guide to Babies
It sure made me laugh.....
Eme!
Isn't this a neat idea. A few lessons back, we learned about mixing colors (primary and secondary) and color tints (adding white) and shades (adding black). Tom was supposed to paint a piece of paper with mixed colors, and with shades and tints. Of course, Emeline and Joe wanted to join in the fun. The next lesson, we took the papers we had painted, and on it, drew the shape of a cat. Everyone liked Tom's design, so he volunteered to make everyone else a cat. Emeline used her painted paper, Tom drew on the cat, Eme cut it out, and she glued it onto a piece of cardstock. We decorated the cardstock so it looked like a rug. They cut out shapes of bright colored paper to decorate the rug (ok, some kids did this more than others).
Anyway, here's Eme's final product. Isn't it wonderful!!!!
OK, I thought that this would be easy and simple, but can you believe that these took me 4 straight hours to do? I started at 1:30, and here it is, 5:30. No dinner. Kids downstairs playing computer. But don't they look nice! (And yes, I did still do school with the kids. Tom had assessments for almost all of his classes today, and got done at 11am, Eme at 1:30, and Jacob is self guided a lot)
OK, so I saw this one coming....

So, I was pretty impressed with my score. That's more than 1/2 of a chance of survival, and when you're dealing with zombies, hey, that's pretty good!

I really liked this ready made page that I found. Here are a few pictures of Eme and Joe opening their presents in North Carolina. Don't they look happy!
After our Wal-mart shopping day, we needed a break. So, the whole family went the the Elementary school in Jasper (about 10 minutes down the road) and played at the park. What fun we had. We'll definitely have to do that again!
I know, this sounds like the title of a bad joke, but bear with me. Saturday was Robert E. Lee's 200ish birthday, and today was Stonewall Jackson's something-eth birthday, so of course, Brent wanted to celebrate. Well, I said that there would be no birthday party without cake! So, we settled for pie and ice cream. We sang Happy Birthday and Dixie. We are a reenacting family, true and true.
After seeing Madi's BEAUTIFUL scrapbook page on her site, she inspired me to start scrap booking digitally again too! I realized, though, that the real Photoshop is needed, and not just the home edition. Brent has it on his computer, so I was able to make a neat page today. If I could make a few pages on Saturdays, that wouldn't be too bad. Too bad I don't have more time!!!
Eme has now lost both bottom teeth. Isn't she cute. And, the other picture is of Emeline and her picture from Literature. We're reading Peter Rabbit. She's really liking the story.
