Rhonda...check this out!

I set up the puppet theater that you gave me for Christmas this last week. I put the kids into small groups, and they made their own puppets to go along with assigned folktales. They had a blast and I had a blast watching them. Here, the narrator reads a story while his group members act it out. (I just LOVE those Converses hanging 3 feet from the ground. So stinkin' cute!)



Here they are...all 22 of my little ones...proudly showing off their puppets. Thanks Rhonda!

FALL SHOTS


These are some pictures I took about a month ago when fall was in full swing; the trees are already bare now. I like these ones better than the shots taken during the summer. I promise these are the last of the temple pictures. I think I've gotten it out of my system for awhile.

Hasta la Vista Linoleum!


Andrew got some free leftover wood flooring from work and so we wanted to spruce up our kitchen. We didn't have enough for the whole floor but the owners of the house were willing to pay the difference for the rest of the wood. Andrew's been working on it in his very limited spare time and it is already looking awesome! I have always loved the look of wood floors.


The linoleum in the kitchen is not great. I hate how it always looks dirty no matter how I clean it.


Look at the difference! Andrew is such a stud. I LOVE that I have a husband who can do manly stuff like this.


The only downside to all of this is that in the meantime, the house is a disaster area! Furniture and junk is piled everywhere among the usual piles of laundry and third grade lesson planning materials.


The other night, the kitchen was such a mess that it was just easier for us to set dinner up on the half-wood, half-linoleum floor instead of moving all of our stuff around to make the table and the chairs usable. I'm sure it was a comical sight to see us trying to eat like this. But honestly, it was kinda fun...and kinda romantic in an odd sorta way...so I had to shoot a pic. (Isn't my Andrew such a cutie?) The floor should be finished this weekend and I am supa' stoked!

Well said.

So...Rachel Meynders, a friend of ours posted the following about the election. I thought it was perfect. (I hope she doesn't mind me passing it on!) It certainly humbled me and changed my perspective/attitude on last night's election results.

dont know if you heard,,,

Obama was elected last night. "America has spoken" as McCain said. Now I may not have really wanted him to win (although I did fully expect him to) but I do respect the man and the office he will hold.
If you are still mad/upset about this out come, please:

1)You can not change it, so get over yourself.

2)Be involved in your community.

3)Pray for him. He needs guidance and help just like anyone else does, I mean hes kinda got a lot on his plate. Also, sad to say, I'm sure safety will be an issue for this man, so pray that he will be safe.
