Here are just a few things we’ve done the past few weeks.

I took Liberty to the library and she, as always, walked up and down the aisles selecting only the pink books. 

We went on a field trip to a local nature center and the kids had a run in with a bear.

We’ve been studying chemistry this year and we just finished up learning about the Periodic Table of Elements.  I offered a treat to anyone who wanted to color in and label the entire periodic table.  Cade did it, which was no surprise.  What surprised me is that Levi did one.  It took him an hour, but he did the whole thing!  This kid is pretty amazing.  He reads anything he can get his hands on lately.   

At the risk of offending any liberal readers, I’m going to share this bumper sticker I saw the other day and the dream bumper sticker I thought up as soon as I saw it.

My bumper sticker would say, “GET YOUR LIBERAL PAWS OUT OF MY WALLET! Sincerely, American Women.

This is Not related in ANY way to the bumper sticker, but the other day as we were driving along, Liberty suddenly asked, “Mom, is left wrong?”  I laughed good and hard and said, “No,” and then explained to her what Left and Right meant.(See? Not related in ANY way.) 

I’ve told you before that Liberty dances anywhere, anytime. All she needs is music.  Well that includes the department store.

We’ve been doing a little decorating and we now have a bat cave.

This is looking down into the basement.

And this is coming up out of the basement.

They are trying to get out the front door.

We enjoyed conference weekend in style.

Forts in the basement.

Please ignore the pink explosion on the floor.

Reagan can play four or five songs now on the cello.  Every day I’m grateful he chose the cello instead of a squeaky violin.  This is much easier on the ears.

That’s October so far!
