Fall Colors

New Glasses

Clara's new look.  She wanted a picture this morning with her outfit that matched her glasses but I forgot and had to use the one from last night.

Newborns in Need

This summer Clara and Marianne made hats and quilts for Newborns in Need.  Marianne used it as her good works value project. We went and donated them yesterday.  I brought home some sleepers to make for them and both Clara and Marianne want to go in and volunteer.  We were quite impressed with their operation.

Puss in Boots

 James standard apparel.  He often carries a sword as well.  Everyone in a while he says he can leave his hat home.  Puss in Boots is cool because he does lots of jumps and leaps.  James tries to do them as well.  He is my only child who has done flips on the trampoline at 3.

MSA and EFY

Emma went to MSA and EFY this summer.  I asked her to make her own post and she didn't want to so if you want to know about her summer you'll have to go check it out on facebook.  :)

Happy Birthday Clara

Clara turned 10 and will be starting middle school in just a few days.  For her birthday we painted her bedroom, greenish-bluish brownish paneling . . .  

to yellow.  We are happy with the results.

Clara worked hard on it for two days.  She did most the painting herself.

A new Do

Lea has been growing out her hair for a year and a half to cut it and donate it.  We have been almost there for a year and I finally convinced her to just do it and cut her hair a little shorter than she wanted.
