Another Week, Another Month

 Mollie Grace and Annie are mixing up biscuits for breakfast.

 Ben heard me say, "Now comes the messy part" and decided he wanted to help too.

 Ben got an autographed picture of the #18 in the mail in response to a letter he sent Kyle.

 The temp dropped below 80 one afternoon and Mollie got out her winter coat and hat.  We actually had pretty cool weather over the weekend in the mid-50s.

 On Thursday, we went to the Children's Museum.  There were very few people there and we had a great time.  This was the first time Annie really got to play.  She is still talking about driving the FedEx airplane.  She loves the FedEx airplanes that fly over our house.  When she would see FedEx on something of John's (He has FedEx all over the place.  Hats, shirts, bags, etc) she would say "airplane."  John taught her to say "FedEx."

Ben took this picture of the Kroger pretend grocery store from the top of a slide.

The cash register and barcode scanner really work so you can ring up your items and print a receipt.

 Annie LOVED the seesaw.  She could have seesawed all day.  My legs could not!

 Annie's first ride on the zip line.  She was ready to try everything!

 This cool machine that shows veins.

 Ben had his third soccer game Thursday night.  It's been a hard season so far with two losses and a tie.  He's on a team with a new coach and only four players have played before.

 This is what Mollie Grace and Annie did while I watched Ben play soccer -- fill my shoes with grass clippings.

 Today was favorite character dress up at school today.  Snoopy and two My Little Ponies, Rarity and Pinkie Pie.

 Lucy and Snoopy

 Mollie Grace and another Pony friend, Fluttershy (aka Lucy Kate).

 We began tin whistles today at CC.  See the kid in the middle with his fingers in his ears.  That's how we all felt.

Group pic Mollie's teacher took of her class.  The two little ones on front are little sisters that participate but aren't really part of the class.

 You can see Ben's new smile in this close up.

 Examining the parts of a crawfish in science.

 Tin whistles in Mollie Grace's class.

Can you see what Mollie Grace thought of the crawfish.  What was so funny was that the little boy beside her loved it.  He was picking it up and flipping it around and checking out every detail.

No pic to go along with this story about Annie but I want to write it down.  I've been teaching Annie that her name is Annie Elder and she's realized that we are all Elders.  This morning as I was making coffee, I heard a little voice calling me from her room, "Mama Elder.  Mama Elder."
