Heroes Unmasked Fall Festival

Nancy, this is for you! OK everyone, so I'm doing things a little out of order, but here we are for our church's Fall Festival we have on Halloween night. Nolan was Tigger and had lots of fun playing in the preschool games. Mark and I had fun working the "parting the sea with Moses" where 2 kids would each have a broom and try to sweep balls on the other side of the big box they were standing in. When we gave out candy we would say "Moses parted the sea. Moses loved God and God loves you!"

Numbers (aka Puppies)

Nolan has started repeating numbers to me today and it's so cute because he says five and nine like a Texan (fahv, nahn). I'm not sure where he gets that from! Mimi? Teacher Jonna?? Whenever Nolan sees numbers on anything he yells "puppies!" because he has a numbers book that counts puppies and kittens. He's been doing that for a while but today he started actually saying the numbers (except seven but we'll work on that ;)

Kids Choir Performs

Our Kids Choir performed this morning in church service and they were awesome! I help with the 1st - 3rd graders and I was so proud of them. There is not a better sound than children praising the Lord in song! Way to go kids! I know they really ministered to those who were visiting and don't know the Lord.....

Psalm 8:2 (New International Version)

From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

Romantic Mark

Mark has been so busy as he always is this time of year producing our church's Christmas concert and very sweetly allowed me to go off yesterday for some girl time with a friend in the afternoon window shopping and out to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. He even made dinner for me the night before! Thank you my romantic husband for some much needed relaxation. P.S. Thank you Mike and Daniel for fixing our van with a new battery while Mark was at home with Nolan. We know you are so very busy and it was so kind of you - God bless you!

Proverbs 11:25 (New International Version)
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

Gobble Gobble continued

Here's the picture for the post below. I was having trouble with the picture being sideways so I deleted it then couldn't get the new one back in! I'm not tech savvy enough!!

Our Little Gobble Gobble

Nolan had a great day at school today; they made fun turkey hats! I couldn't get him to put it on until I turned on our Roomba robot vacuum cleaner which he loves so much he thinks it's our pet! Needless to say he was distracted enough to not even realize he had the silly thing on his head.

Pumpkin Patch (in October)

Mommy and Daddy took Nolan to his first pumpkin patch and although it was beautiful and really kid friendly, he mainly couldn't be bothered with all the cutesy stuff. He just wanted to run around the pumpkins and "find" them, each one so exciting! We took a hayride and we loved that too.
