Book It Rewards~10-31-13

Pizza Hut and their reading program Book-It is now allowing Homeschooling families to participate in their wonderful reading program.

The girls set their reading goal at 5 books a week for 4 weeks.  They far exceeded their goal...and were rewarded with a certificate for a Free Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizza!  Whoo Hoo!  SO proud of them.

Community Halloween Costume Contest~10-30-13

My girls wanted to be cowgirls for Halloween.  The youngest wanted to have a horse to go along with the cowgirl costume.  Well, I didn't want to spend any money,  so I only used items we had on hand.  I did have to buy the bandanas, which were 2 for $1.  So not bad.  They didn't win the contest.  But the kids behind them did.  Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter.  SO cute.  It was nice to get out and see the community come together.  We enjoyed Apple Cider and Iced Sugar cookies after the final judging.  Today was a great day! :)

Before Meets After~10-29-13

This basket has hung beneath our mailbox for a few years.  It was looking a little sad!

A couple coats of white spray paint (of course!) and it was pretty again.  That is our cat Jasper.  Such a sweet boy and constant outdoor companion!
