Life's Simply.....

Trick or Treat?!

I can not believe we are already into almost our second week of November! Where has this year gone?

We have already trick or treated (which I was hoping to skip this year). With all the house stuff going on, I didn't have time for Halloween costumes. I usually make them every year and this year, it just wasn't in the plans. So, my trusty SIL came over with her stash of costumes....and I dug out the famous scare crow for Princess T....and here we go!

We have Darth, Batman, and the Scare Crow. My Mom and I put the Scare Crow costume together for C's first Halloween. N wore it for his....and you get the point.

Since we live outside of town now, we had to drive in and park this year. On the left is my crew in action! They all had so much fun. To the right, the local ice cream shop was handing out treat bags, so we stopped before heading home. T is SOOOO into Frozen (which she loving refers to as "Summer".) and "Anna" and "Elsa" were there handing out candy. So of course, we had to get our picture taken. We have to look at this picture at least twice a day....

SCHOOL..........
So along with life, there has to be time for school. I found this AWESOME geography lesson for the US. 8 for Each State maps everything out for you. We get the weeks lesson lined up Sunday night...and we have had a blast so far! We are a couple weeks behind and now have taken off to learn about Thanksgiving and Christmas (history, geography, and science (baking) all included!) BUT we did Delaware already...and all three kids had a blast!

We even through a little Lego time in! One of the project was to build the Delaware Bridge. Well, C took the lead the night before and built his version. (pictured below).

I think he did a really good job on his own.

Using pictures we found on the internet, we made our version of the bridge. It was trial and error to get everything together, but I think we did a pretty good! I'm not the buildy one, Daddy is, but we wanted to do this all on our own!
