Wow, has it been that long!!!

I am so sorry. I started a blog a week and a half ago and wanted to post some pictures. I never finished it.
Well, so highlights of the last two weeks. Well, Halloween was the kindergarten party. I was a homeroom parent so Hannah and I went to help. I was different since our family doesnt celebrate Halloween. The school wanted to take it as a fall party where everyone came dressed as what they wanted to be when they grew up. That would be the theme. I appreciated that and that made it more a costume party than the druid celebration of death.
Anyways, Nathan wore the train engineer vest he got a couple of years ago for Christmas. Hannah put on one of her princess dresses. I was in charge of the craft and we made cat puppets. I also read the class a story about two mice sharing a pumpkin. It was a nice time.

Then the following Saturday, we all went to our first Missouri Western football game. It was a great day for it. 65 degrees for kickoff at 2pm. They were playing my sister's school, Fort Hays State University. The kids really liked it. We bought nachos and drinks. Hannah really liked the marching band. Nathan really liked the parachuters coming in with the American flag. The game was a pretty good one. Final score. MWSU- 24 FHSU-10.

Sunday our 2&3 class went to the 4&5's for the first time. It went really well. The kids liked it and the lesson fit. We were starting to talk about Abraham and how God called Abraham to move to somewhere he didn't know. Then we went down the hall and played a game and made a craft and came back to our room. Yesterday we did it again and it seems to be working really well. The first week of December, we will move the older kids in my class up and hopefully they will be ok.

I forgot to mention that Friday of that week, I went to my friend/mentor (Margaret Triplet)'s house to walk and pray. It was really cool. We walked about 2 miles and then went inside and drank some tea and prayed. We are meeting again this Friday. We are still getting to know one another, but she is such an encouragement to me as she is still a stay-at-home mom and is such a blessing to her family.

Lets see. This week in highlights, I watched Abram Wednesday and it was a really nice afternoon. Temperature about 75, so we played at Nathan's school after everyone got out. I swang and snuggled with him. My kids don't do that as much, so it is really nice. We were expecting my Uncle Dave to arrive, and called my grandma to see what was up. He decided to take a bus to Emporia, which I was kind of relieved about. We are going to have to make a special trip to see him, however. The kids had his bed all made and such.
Chris' mom will be here Saturday for her thanksgiving stay. Everyone is looking forward to that.
Chris had this past weekend off, so we spent it just hanging out , as the weather turned cold again and we had some snow flurries. Chris is working so hard on his classes. He did that most of yesterday. The kids and I colored, and played games and did some reading.
They are getting so smart.
Well, that is about it. I am hoping to post another one after this with a bunch of pictures. the one above is everybody at the game. We send all our love and I will hopefully not be so long next time.
Till then, try to find a way to encourage someone with Christ!! You will make their day.
