Israelite Camp

Today, Luke made a diagram of the Israelite encampment based on Numbers 2-3 and using the diagram from Old Testament Days:

For ZeeZee

Today, I tried working with Miriam on the potty. She kept talking about how ZeeZee was sick (she has bronchitus and a broken toe). I told Miriam that it would make ZeeZee feel better if she went to the potty.



She has now done both successfully in the potty today.

Update:
She ended up going 5 times yesterday...once even in the church nursery. She stayed dry from the time we went to church till the time she went to bed.

Also, she's done both sucessfully again this morning.

America Has Chosen a President

Dr. Albert Mohler has a great article on what attitude we should have after yesterday's election.

Wordless Wednesday - kids at heart

Being with your sisters makes you feel like kids again...
especially Sara who says she never wants to grow up!

As you can tell, we went and voted in our patriotic garb.

You know me & my themes :)

Trick or Treating

We went "trick or treating" with our friends the Ragsdales for Halloween. We normally don't go "trick or treating" but we weren't able to go to Boo at the Zoo or the LSU Boozar this year.

We decided to dress at Star Wars characters since we already had the Darth Vader mask and light sabers.

We're not really sure what Levi was...either a jedi in training (youngling) or Obi Wan. Obviously Miriam was Princess Leia and Luke was Luke Skywalker. Micah was an ewok and Cameron was Darth Vader.

Here's "Pwincess Weia" (as Miriam says it) shooting a gun.

Princess Leia is pretty tough...just like Miriam.

The Darth Vader mask didn't last long on Cameron...then we said he was the evil emperor.

Since Cameron didn't want to wear the mask, I became "Darth Mommy"


Notice Princess Leia's "cinnamon" bun. We used the rope belt from Craig's bibical costume. Thanks to Aunt Laura who got it to stay in her hair all night without it falling out.



Here's Micah...the ewok

Gotta love those eyes!

Eventually, Levi understood what was going on.

He kept pointing to all the houses that had lights on.

Here's what we based Miriam's dress and hair after

The Ragdales were characters from the Wizard of Oz.

Allie was the Scarecrow, Courtney was Dorothy and Eli was the Tin Man.

The Zoo

Friday we went to the Baton Rouge Zoo. We were glad that Aunt Sara, Aunt Laura and Uncle Eric were able to come with us.
