Renaissance Fair….

Ok so I am psyching you out just a little… this is the TEASER to the festival pictures!!! I promise I will even jump line and post them before I catch this blog up to date! So for now enjoy the costume picture from the end of our hot and busy day! Thank you again to Shandai for the lovely borrowed costume!!! 

Resting in the shade. I wish I had a picture of using the paper fan, but instead I have some other amazing shots!

August 9-11

Trinity is on a roll with ANOTHER completion of her PreK books! I am so glad she is grabbing on and getting going with these. I do not like to move them forward until they get that previous year’s work completed. After all review is ALWAYS good.101_4029

I love that even on an overcast day or during a down period the kids will sit down and work together lately… Gavin and Trinity read through our National Geographic Kids animal cards!101_4030

Of course Echo is always game for a book with good pictures… this is the dinosaur book that later one of the twins read to Emanuel and then worked on a picture for his dinosaur binder. It is almost time to bring that out of its hibernation and get back going… I really need to work on posting all our back dino blog entries too!!!101_4031

101_4032The weekend was sunny so we grabbed as much of it as we could.101_4035

And when it was time to go inside we had a craft symposium around the round table.101_4041

101_4042Then back outside to shuck corn! Nana and Baba found a little stand with some rather tasty ears.101_4046

Our weekend ended with us finally making it to a new church that is going to be our church family until we settle on our location and new home. Time to register for Sunday School!! Sadly we won’t make it to the church again until Sunday School sign up but it was fun to meet some new people and get a feel of a service.101_4047

After church we drove home and stopped at this lovely walking path at the end of our street to take our yearly photos. I do so love when we get a chance to dress ALL of them up and take pictures. So enjoy the surplus images!101_4051
