Ward Halloween Party

Our Ward Halloween Party/Chili Cook-off was the first weekend in November. We had a lot of fun eating and playing games. All the chilis were super yummy… and so were the desserts, especially the donuts! The donut eating contest was hilarious, especially when the Dads all participated. The kids also enjoyed the cupcake walk and the face painting.

1) Tierra- Our little angel
2) Karina as Lemon Meringue
3-4) Silly Coach Grant

5-6) Husky Cheerleader Aurora
7-8) Sariah the Princess wins the M&M’s with the guess of 2012 (she guessed that because that is the year), I’m pretty sure she was within 4… I think the actual total was 2016.

9) Riana made an awesome Katniss again.

10) Grant A. was painting the kids faces. I have to say that I had no idea he would be good at that. He was great with the kids and their face paint turned out cute! Aurora always loves hanging out with “my Grant,” as she calls him (and he loves it too!!) She loved having him paint her face.

11-13) Here is Tierra getting her face painted by Grant A. She requested a rainbow and it turned out great!

14) Karina also had her face painted. I think Laura D. did hers. Very cute!

15-18) Calyssa hanging out with Logey (Logan)… she loves Logey!
19) The girls had a lot of fun just hanging out with their friends.

It was a fun night!

My Favorite Part of The Book of Mormon

3 Nephi 17:21-24

"21 And when (Jesus) had said these words, he wept, and the multitude bare record of it, and he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them.

22 And when he had done this he wept again;

23 And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones.

24 And as they looked to behold they cast their eyes towards heaven, and they saw the heavens open, and they saw angels descending out of heaven as it were in the midst of fire; and they came down and encircled those little ones about, and they were encircled about with fire; and the angels did minister unto them."

Our homeschool program!!

My style of homeschooling is "public school at home." We began homeschooling on our own, the 1st year. Then we were enrolled in the Washington Virtual Academy (WAVA) for 3 years. Now we are enrolled in ORLA. Our girls are taking several classes at an Elementary School that is no longer used for a typical Elementary School. Instead 450 homeschooling students (K-12) take classes there with certified teachers (you choose which ones and how many) but you do have to be at the school with them until they are 12 (in another room with toys for the younger kids) or sign them out to a friend. Then you fill in the rest at home. For example, my girls take Music, Art, P.E., and Science at the school 2 days a week and then I teach them Math, Language, and History at home, on the other 3 days. The school also pays for an additional $300 a year of curriculum (like the Math, Lang, Hist.) We do have to keep up with a certain number of hours per week. We also have a "home room teacher" that helps us with everything, like deciding what extra things to do at home and making sure we don't miss anything. We are really enjoying this program-- it truly is the best of both worlds! If you have any questions, email me. :)
