Another Puzzle Completed

Sophia and I love to put puzzles together.  This is our latest accomplishment.  I think it has 100 pieces.

Thanksgiving Photos

Lilly made this outfit at school.  

The Native American name that she gave herself was Playful Pup.

Veteran's Day Parade

Both of my Girl Scout troops walked in the Veteran's Day parade this year and we were actually on the news!  We walked a camera man videoing the parade, but never thought that we would "be famous".  Our neighbors saw us on the 5:00 news.  They recorded it for us so we got to see ourselves smiling and waving our flags. Sophia and Lilly are both in the second row of girls.  I don't think you can recognize them in this first picture.  The girl on the right side looks like she could be Sophia, but it's actually Paige from Sophia's troop.  Sophia is right behind her.  Do you like the banner (above) that I threw together the night before?

Yard Sale Crutches...

So far she's tried to fool 5 people.  

Guess how many were actually surprised?  

 

If you guess zero then you were right. Lilly didn't believe her and told Will that Sophia was faking.  Then I let Sophia use them to go over to Riley's house to ask her to play. Amy, Riley's mom wasn't fooled and neither was Riley or Taylor.

Jillian's Birthday Party

Our little neighbor girl turned 3 last weekend and the girls and I went to her party. They are nice to always invite us and we always try to go. They have a playground in their backyard that the girls usually take over. This year they also rented a bounce house for all the kids to play on...and there were a lot of kids there.

Jillian is a cute girl and Lilly loves to play with her.

Lilly's School Field Trip

Lilly's class went on a field trip to a farm just before Halloween.  I went with her as a chaperone.  WE got a tour of the farm and had a quick lesson on how to make real butter where both Lilly and I skipped trying it. Then we got a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch where each of us was allowed to pick one to take home.  I picked a really bumpy one called a blumpkin 1, for real.   Lilly finally found the perfect one.

When we got to the farm, all the kids ate lunch and then they took a class photo.  There are only 15 kids in the class and more girls than boys so I think Lilly is really lucky.

The Story of Ruth

In Sunday school we're teaching the story of Naomi and Ruth this month.  The second and third graders had "story-telling" as their class last week and they did a play to act out the story.  Take a look at Sophia.  She was a priest.  Ha ha ha!
