Happy Thanksgiving

While driving past a church with a sign that read, "Thanksgiving Worship Service..."
Yoda said, "Wait, they worship Thanksgiving?!?!"

Apples 2019

Yoda noticed that he has not picked apples as often as the older kiddos by the time they were 9.  So we felt guilty and took him apple picking a few weeks back...

It was a beautiful day and I'm glad we made it happen!

some kid thoughts...

Yoda, "Why are there no superheroes from the suburbs?"

Parker goes to a school with no cafeteria, so we pack lunches and he's fine with that.

But occasionally he buys fast food down the street with his CREDIT CARD.  So, on those days instead of me asking if he has his lunch BOX, he said I should ask if he has his lunch RECTANGLE.

Back in Kindergarten, Mimi arrived excited for her Show-what-you-know conference with her soon-to-be-teacher.

recap:

She went to meet her teacher and walk around to get a feel for the classroom and school.  This day was called show-what-you-know, just a 20 minute conference with just her and her teacher.  When I explained what would happen that day, I neglected to say that the teacher would ask the questions and that Mimi would tell her the answers.
What ended up happening was Mimi marched in with her backpack full of school supplies, sat down, and started telling her teacher exactly what she knew!

Mimi:"There are different kinds of dinosaurs, bipods and quadrupeds.  Some dinosaurs are herbivores and some are carnivores..."


The whole story is in this link.

Even though it was 8 years ago, we retell the story often because it's so cute.

One day as we were retelling the story, Mimi asked sweetly, "How many dinosaurs did I GET to?"

Happy Halloween

 

 

 Parker was Kaiba Yu-gi-oh again this year.  

  Yoda was a Dementor from Harry Potter
Mimi was the grim reaper.  Her friends wanted to do something as a group, but she stuck to her guns on this costume idea.
