While we were all in the car...

Mimi, "Wow, that's a black van with tinted windows!"
Yoda, "It must be the C.E.O.!"
Parker, "Do you mean the F.B.I.?"
Yoda, "Oh, yeah, that's it"
Me and Greg *haha
Yoda, "Is that going on the blog?"
Me, "Yup!"

Young Women's

For Mimi's first Young Women's in Excellence she made a poster and explained a little about jujitsu.  She also demonstrated how to escape if someone is grabbing your arm.  Go against their thumbs!  Greg was holding on TIGHT and she was able to break his grip, even when he held with 2 hands.

This post is for my dad!

And... a golf cart! 

Halloween round up

 Yoda is now our last kiddo at the Elementary school.

 Here he is as a very serious Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi from Episode One.

This is my 11th! year as a parent at this school and his totally awesome teachers created the coolest party game.  Each group of kids made a catapult out of Popsicle sticks, tape and rubber bands.  At each station they launched pumpkin erasers at targets and recorded their points.  It was sweet to see the kiddos get really into it, work together and solve problems. 

 We finally hit a pumpkin patch on the soggiest weekend of the month.  

 Mimi is a "Dark Dragon".  Sense a theme with her?  Dragons, snakes, dinosaurs?  

Here's her wings. 

 Parker's pumpkin says "GMO FULL" -- super scary/funny.  Yoda's is a symbol from a video game.  And Mimi has her cute "pump-cat" from girl scouts, her mini pumpkin from a Young Women's activity, and her funny faced one all the way on the right.

 Parker got a shift at work, which was awesome, then he handed out candy with me the rest of the night.  He is a Yu-gi-oh character.  

 

We did our best to make his costume look like this guy.  He made it to the 3rd round at the costume contest at his high school.  Last year we played it safe and did a minimal costume, we should not have!  Those kids were dressed up a TON!
