Parent-Teacher Conferences..I'ts tough to be me

We had parent-teacher conferences this last week. I went to Lyndi's kindergarten class and her teacher said, "I love having Lyndi in my class. She's a hard worker, always on task. She gets along with everyone and has a great sense of humor. I wish I had a whole class full of Lyndis". I went to Aubree's class and her teacher said, "I love having Aubree in my class. She has never had her card pulled, and always gets her work done. She is so smart and I love reading her writing. I wish I had a whole class full of Aubrees." Then I went to Kayla's class. Her teacher said, "I love having Kayla in my class. I can set anyone next to her because I know she'll stay on task and get her work done. She is friendly and gets along with everyone. She always does superior work. I wish I had a class full of Kaylas." Wow, what a boring day for me. Just kidding! Keep it coming!

50 states take 2...plus dancing!

This is Erin singing the states for you. She has heard them so many times from her sisters that she does pretty well. My favorite is "I love Kansas" (Iowa, Kansas). Plus she adds her own personality to it!

50-ish Nifty United States

Lyndi singing the states for you. Bet you can't tell which ones are missing! Her Wisconsin cousins will probably notice one. Still, not bad for a 5 year old. (Notice Erin in the back ground prompt her with the dun-dun-dun, and of course acting just like Erin.)

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween. We did a little trick-or-treating around here, then we went up to Grammy and Papa's ward party. They are the activities committee and they did a great job. Yummy soups for dinner, a hayride, kid games, and trunk-or-treat. In case you can't tell, Darin and Davin are motorcycle dudes, Erin is the Barbie Island Princess, Lyndi is an indian princess, Aubree is a pirate, and Kayla is a vampiress.

Erin says...

Erin was in charge of the lesson for "Homey-Homey" this week. We were talking about talking kindly. We were talking about how Jesus would speak and putting up leaves with different suggestions. I would whisper what the leaf said so she could say it out loud. Sometimes her translation is kinda funny. My favorite was, "Our words, like our actions, should be filled with faith and hope and cheer-leaders".
