Dylan's "Mars" Project

Well we made it! The planet project is done. It was so hard not to do it for him, but DYLAN did his 3rd grade Mars project. He had to make a poster, then prepare a speech as if he were a real estate agent trying to "sell" his planet. The speech was actually easier than the poster... he really has a fun personality so he made up the speech and wrote it on notecards. I had a hard time sitting back and letting my little lefty boy produce a "neat" visual... neatness is part of the grade. I ended up letting him use my scrapbook stickers, printing photo of Mars, letting him type his facts, then he drew in a few "martians" for fun. Take a look at him here this morning when we were outside waiting on the bus.

Halloween Party 2007

Every year we assist in hosting a wonderful Halloween party at my in-law's house. We set up carnival style games for the kids to play where they can grab fists full of candy as well as rent a huge spacewalk-slide for them. The adults enjoy a little good cooking (my favorite are the mini "ghost" pizzas) and great company!

State Fair 2007

Saturday afternoon was the perfect weather for going to the fair. WD and I took Erin, Dylan, our Godson Zackary, and Erin's friend, Callie. The kids had a great time. I think Dylan spent all of his allowance on the "games", while Erin and Callie indecisively walked around wanting to spend their money, but not quite sure. My favorite part was watching them attempt the rope bridge game. It kicked their butts!
