Thanksgiving Feast at preschool
Cooper had his T-giving feast at school today and it was adorable. Got a couple of cell photos (was running late and totally forgot to bring the 'real' camera).
They sang a really cute little Indian song while wearing their Native American outfits that they had stamped. Each child had their native name that they had chosen (somehow...still not sure on how) written in words and symbols on their headdresses. Cooper's name was Swift Gecko. The gift he had made me was the cutest little Indian Corn pin.
It was a really fun lunch. I just love seeing how happy it makes him when I get to come see him at school. :)

SNL this weekend
was HILARIOUS! The two funniest skits both featured Justin Timberlake. He never fails to crack me up! One of them is being deleted all over youtube for copyright from NBC, but this one is on their official site. Hopefully they will add the other one later.

Been a really busy couple of weeks here
We have had family here two different times with the Halloween events in the middle, so there hasn't been a lot of time to post anything here but I am here now.
During all of that time, we did manage to catch a play at the Center for Puppetry Arts. We saw Brer Rabbit & Friends and it was so fun. Noah had read several Brer Rabbit stories in his Literature book this year, so it was fun for him to get to see the play with more of the trickster's stories.
Afterwards we checked out the Jim Henson exhibit there. A lot of the characters were out of the center for another exhibit they were being featured in across town, but we did get to see Big Bird, a lot of the Muppets, and a Sid the Science Kid exhibit, which is Noah and Cooper's favorite show to watch together in the afternoon.
The funny part of the story is that, while I was completely aware that I shouldn't take any pictures of the theater and the performance, it never occurred to me that I couldn't take any pictures in the Jim Henson exhibit. Seriously, there were these tiny, little signs everywhere, but I didn't see them until AFTER the lady came over and told me there were no photos allowed....OOOOOOOPS.
So I now have an illegal photo of my kids in front of Big Bird. I'm sorry, I know I probably should delete it, but it's BIG BIRD...nope, not deleting it. Turn your screen off now if you don't want to be an accomplice to my crime!!!
As for scrapping, I am in a big dry spell, probably due to lack of time lately, but here are the most recent LO's I have done.

Halloween fun with friends
We spent the evening trick or treating with our best friends for the first time since the older boys were only children, five years ago. I think that once they started school and suddenly Halloween was a school night that it just became easier to hang around our own neighborhoods instead of getting together, but since Halloween was on the weekend this year we got together and boy did we have a great evening.
Hope you had a spooktacular night!

Trick or Treating on Main St.
Our town has a T or T thing for the local kids each fall...gives the kids a chance to wear their costumes an extra time so we always go. Here are some pictures from this weekend.

Had a lazy weekend
but we did start it out by going to the pumpkin patch with the kids. We had a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed spending the time running around and playing with everything. We already have our big jack-o-lantern carving pumpkin, so this was just a chance to get out and have fun together and let the boys pick a small pumpkin each.
We ended up going on Thursday, which meant that we missed being able to go to the corn maze (they only have it during the weekend), but since Dwight was able to come home early on Thursday, it made more sense to go that evening rather than on Friday, when it was scheduled to rain. Since it actually did rain a lot that day, it turned out to be the right call for sure.
Here are a few photos from the fun:
Good grief...sick of photos yet?

Giving credit where credit is due
It takes a big man to take a situation that has gotten out of hand and make things right. Giant kudos to John McCain! Thank you for trying to reel in the fear. I certainly respect him for doing this.

but it's hilarious!! Dwight and I were cracking up watching this on SNL last weekend.

Noah's Dome
In History and Art we are working on the Renaissance and Noah has been studying Brunelleschi's Il Duomo in Florence. Recently he had to design a blueprint for his own dome and today we were able to build the dome that he designed. I was really impressed with the way he made his skull lantern on the top look three-dimensional. He made two skulls and then cut a slit in each of them to connect them together.
He said that this was his favorite art project so far. Made me really happy...:)
Abundance of Scarecrows
Apparently Hoschton, GA decided to try to break the World Record for "Most Scarecrows in One Location" The existing record was 3,311 in Cincinnati. Well, it appears that they broke the record and ended up with 5,441 scarecrows. Here are a few of them:
Maybe we will have to check that out this fall :O)
