We had an adventurous week. E and J both participated in the ward's Primary program last Sunday. E delivered a talk on Baptism, and J recited John 3:16 from memory. They both sang beautifully, and E even conducted the closing hymn, which was I Know that My Redeemer Lives.
We left after Sacrament meeting to head to Winston-Salem for business. The kids and I basically stayed in the hotel for two days while Benji did his work.
We went swimming, homeschooled, enjoyed Mario's Pizza and other yummy restaurants, and E & J got lots of free snacks from the vending machine. Lots. I mean like probably at least 20 each per day. We saw lots of beautiful autumn trees on our drives to and from NC.
We had ice cream on our way home:
Sweet T is saying "Cheese" with all his heart.
Today, we had two Halloween parties - one with our homeschool group, and one was the ward's Chili cook-off and Trunk-or-Treat. E won 2nd place in the pumpkin decorating contest for the 2nd year in a row! She was actually a little sad that she won, because she really wanted J to win. He got to get in line for a prize after the high-prize winners, though, and was very excited about his gift card to an arcade. Yay? E chose a glow-in-the-dark dinosaur. She is really into dinosaurs recently. T fell asleep on the way to the park, but woke up, and proceeded to eat during the rest of our time there.
