Back in Texas

We enjoyed a pretty autumn in Michigan and are now back in Texas with the kids. It's always fun to be here for Halloween. Emily and her friend Eva were elephants. Samantha and her friend Karys changed their minds at the last minute and dressed as "pigs in a blanket" because it was cold!




Emily's 11th birthday was November 5th. We went to dinner at Lupe's on Saturday night because she wanted to wear the sombrero! Her party was on Sunday afternoon. Fifteen 5th graders! Heather went to so much work to organize a game similar to Clue. Four teams figuring out puzzles and through the process of elimination, following the clues to the treasure. They had so much fun and all the teams did really well. They followed the game by taking a "polar bear plunge" into the pool. Not exactly like Alaska but the water was 65 degrees!





Samantha's 8th grade play for UIL competition was a "Voice in the Dark" - a story of the Salem witch trials. Definitely a dark drama about a dark time in our history! She did a great job! The picture is onstage with her best friend Karys.



Emily made me this sunflower picture in art class! She is so talented!
