Saturday Oct 25th Wings over Houston Air Show!

We have wanted to go to this ever sense we moved here, this was the first year we have been able to make it. It was fun, they had a lot of displays for the kids to look at on the ground, and shows from 10:00 until about 4:00 – it was a long day, poor little Autumn did not make it through the whole thing. They had army planes, stunt planes, old planes, new planes, big ones, and small ones. They had a WW2 reenactment with bombs / fireworks etc going off. Let the kids each pick out a toy plane to take home. They all picked out “good guy” US planes. James was adamant that I call them the right names, not an “airplane” a “jet” etc. It was fun, although Doug got a headache the next day after looking at the sky for 6 hours straight. The weather is finally starting to cool off a bit so we can go outside.

Oct 24th Tie -die!

Had a few people over, made tie-die shirts. The mom’s ended up doing most of it while the kids played, it was fun. I saved a shirt for Heather to make one too later on, made one for each of us.

Joy School! Oct 21st

We learned about spiders, we used the big spider net that Nammy brought down, caught a live spider with a moth (although the spider never ate the moth) had a bunch of spider books from the library, and made spider snacks. The kids had fun.

Museum

Saturday Oct 11th
Went to the museum, saw a new dinosaur exhibit (fossilized dinosaur mummies – dinos with a bit of skin still on them!) and we went to the butterfly exhibit. They had an adopt a butterfly program going on, Nammy got the kids a butterfly to release. Then back to the airport, always sad when relatives go back home.

Oct 11th Old McDonald's Farm

Old McDonald’s farm with Autumn and James – Heather in school, sad for her to miss out. Lost James for a bit, he ran off into their fort, surprising how fast you can lose a kid. Feeding animals, the little goats were really fisty! Let them pick out a pumpkin. Picked up Heather, we were going to try for the museum, but did not have enough time. Ordered pizza, watched a movie on the Arabs after kids went to bed.

Thursday Oct 9th

Joy school!
We made cookies and little pipe cleaner spiders. It was nice to have Nammy there to help out.



Nammy got the kids all matching skeleton shirts. The shirts were a big hit.

Guests for breakfast!
