September

September has been the usual business of school and church with a weekend trip to Jackson for the Elders 50th anniversary and John's 30th class reunion.  We had Toga Day at school and the girls attended 4-H Sewing Club.  

 

Second Half of August

The last half of August included the annual Priceville car show; Annie's Sunday School teacher Emily Grace getting engaged; Annie starting school; John going to the TDC in Indianapolis; crazy waffle night with Brantley; another soccer tournament; and a camping trip at Monte Sano.  

 

First Half of August

Ben and Mollie Grace started school the first Wednesday in August.  I only have a first day picture of MG because Ben was still in bed.  He chooses to drive himself because I have to arrive at 8:15, while he doesn't have to be there until 8:50.  But he is in the group picture of his class.  Annie spent the day in my class, but the next week she got herself an invitation to spend the day with Brantley.

Annie and MG made a "snake oil" advertisement.

The girls playing Olympics with a neighbor.  There are no pictures to show it, but we were obsessed with the Olympics and watched for hours every night.

Ben's reformed Decatur PDP soccer team played in their first tournament.

Annie started dance for the year -- Modern, Ballet, Tap and Jazz.

Mollie Grace had an assignment where she had to interview "Copernicus." We borrowed a puppet from the church to play Copernicus.

 

July Week 4

After Ben got back from RYM he began a job working in promotions for the Trash Pandas.  Lots of games, he worked in the kids section, but some times he got to do fun things like the Astronaut Race or Christmas in July pictured below.  He's the Christmas tree.

The last Wednesday in July was busy with orientation for their Challenge classes followed by Challenge Games.  Then at church, we had a family water game night.
