50th Day of School



The kids got to celebrate the 50th day of school with a 1950's dress up day.  Lots of the girls had poodle skirts and satin jackets.  Some even had cute little neck scarves and side pony tails.  Of course Emily's hair would not make a side pony tail but she did have cute cat-eye glasses!  The kids even made some 1950's art!  What a fun day!

Veteran's Day

Tuesday, November 11, 2014




Kindergarten, first and second grades put on a Veteran's Day show every year at Bible Center Church.  It is a pretty impressive undertaking for the kids and they were fabulous.  They sang lots of patriotic songs and the second grade drama kids did a nice presentation too.  In addition, the middle school girls' choir sang and the middle school boys did a "sword and cake cutting ceremony."  All the rest of the school attends the show and everyone has a great time.  Love that this school teaches not only the amazing love of God, but also the importance of a love for country too.

Sparkies Yacht Race

Saturday, November 1, 2014

The Awana Club at Bible Center Church set up a boat race for the kids this weekend.  The kids bought a little wooden boat platform for $5 and then had to design a sail for it. Daniel and Emily painted the boat and made it a sail from some interesting medical bandages from the hospital.  Then they painted it and decorated it with Frozen stickers.  They called it the "Frozen Fun Boat."  Then on Saturday morning all the kids got together to race their "yachts" in little gutters of water.

They had double elimination rounds.  In the first round, Emily came in second, we think.  Then in the second round, she won her group!  But in the third round she came in last so that was it for her.  She still had a really great time and everyone who raced got a ribbon (which she loved.)  She is already talking about how to improve for next year.

After the boat race we headed downtown to Pies-N-Pints for some pizza and then we did our civic duty and took Emily to the polls for early voting.  Not a bad Saturday at all.

Trick or Treat

Thursday, October 30, 2014

We had trick or treat on Thursday night, October 30 rather than Friday night, the 31st.  Not sure why, but it worked out just fine.  It was pretty chilly this year, upper 40's, so out came the winter coats to cover the costumes.

This year, Emily wanted to be a "candy fairy."  We saw the costume in the catalog last year and she remembered it for all 365 days.  It was really kind of cute and she even had a lolly pop wand!  She went out trick or treating with Dad this year.  She also got to go with her friend, Abby (Doc McStufins) and her sister, Josie (Lambie).  Emily stayed out for about an hour and 20 minutes and did more houses than the year before.  She got quite a haul of candy including several full size candy bars!  Great neighbors!

After she came in for the night, we sorted out her candy, let her eat a bunch of course and then watched "It the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."  Great end to a great night.

Sleeping Beauty

Tuesday, October 28, 2014

Emily was chosen to play Sleeping Beauty in her class drama club play this year.  She was so excited and she did a great job!  She did not have too many lines...I guess she slept through them all.  HA! But the lines she had she said nice and loud and slow so everyone could hear them.  She was pleased that the boy chosen to play the prince was her friend Jaxson.  She has a little crush on him, it seems. Note the Hershey's kiss Jaxson is holding in the picture.  This was the "kiss" that woke her.  Only in a Christian school.  It was a great little show.
