Halloween 2009

Better late than never... I created this photo slide show late one night and saved it and forgot about it. Life has been so busy. We had a Homeowners insurance company go out of business...So we had to rewrite over 200 policies if we wanted to keep the business. All of this in a short period of time. My head was spinning.. but we made it through and even had a liitle time in the schedule to attend a halloween party of some friends. Didn't have time to shop for costumes.. so we searched our closet and came up with something. Not too creative, but it did the trick. Anyhow it is almost time for thanksgiving and I'm still back at halloween. Enjoy our goofy pictures.

We also attended The Judgement house at the kids school over Halloween weekend. They caught our family as we were coming out of it and wanted to interview us for TV. Wouldn't ya know that they only put on something I said . So below is a link to my 5 seconds of fame.

School projects!

The high school years bring on many projects in English class. You never know what kind of project may come along. You really need to show your creativity when it comes to these projects. Sometimes an option is to write a long paper or color detailed pictures. Britt doesn't care to do either so we usually get stuck building some sort of item. This past project was a castle. This one was made out of ceiling tiles, corners from a cardboard box , a juicie box on top and some sample roofing tiles, toilet paper rolls and some textured spray paint and some little plastic people. Below are some pictures of the product. Glad to say She got an A on the project. YEAH!!

Jessica's Surprise 14th Birthday party

On October 23rd Jessica celebrated her 14th birthday. She wanted to have a party with her new friends she has met at her new school this year. We decided we would surprise her this year. So we put together a little party at Chuckee Cheese and had some of her new friends show up and give her a surprise. She was definately surprised. We actually got it pulled off. It turned out really nice to have new friends from her new school. Even one of her Teachers Ms. Foster came and brought her 3 kids that Jess is also friends with. We had fun playing games and visiting and the best was pulling off the surprise.
