Fall Festival 08, KMS

I joined Collin for his school's Fall Festival this year. The tree hugging theme created wonderful activities such as Leaf Dying t-shirts and tie dying napkins.

Leaf rubbing with crayon and paper.

And here, Collin and Patrick are showing how bees polinate our flowers.

Collin's Creation

We thought we would share Collin's latest tinker toy creation. He calls it, "Monster with an idea."

And just a cute one of AE in her new rainboots! Thanks Jean!

Yay Fall!

I realized today that Aneliese has been absent from my posts lately! Ouch! Here are some pics of the fun we have been having in our backyard since the chill set in.

Congrats to Crystal and Daryl!

A beautiful bride and a beautiful wedding! Congrats you guys!

Collin says to Daddy...

Collin eats a muffin...
C: Daddy, I have muffin caught in my throat!
R: Let me get you some milk to wash it down.
C: Never mind Daddy, I washed it down with spit.
R: Buddy, it isn't called spit until it leaves your mouth. When it is still in your mouth it is called "saliva".
C: Oooooh, saliva. That's pretty. It would make a good girls name.
R: Yes it would, buddy. Yes it would.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA!!!!

Collins says...

C: Mom, why does God sometimes trick us?
M: I don't know honey. How has God tricked you?
C: Well, somedays She makes it look like it will rain but it never does.

Collin says...

(In the car)
C: Mom, one day I want to go to that chocolate factory.
M: I don't think it is actually a chocolate factory.
C: Oh, well then I guess it must be a salmon factory.
M: Of course it is.
