Meetings, Meetings.....

Last weekend our mission went away for a time of meetings with our director who was here from the States. Overall we had a good and productive time (aside from one of my kids puking in the middle of the night....guesses???...yep, Joey the Puker Larsen). We even had a little time for fun!!
Our whole crew plus our director
The kids enjoyed baseball with Matt as their pitcher!
Elle trying to hit the ball (she picked out her outfit that day...polka dots and stripes...hmmm)
Then she got a little help from Hannah! Check out Joey in the background and you'll get a picture of what he did all weekend...EXPLORE everything on the ground...grass, weeds, bugs, etc!
Ike getting ready to swing and Ethan staying as far back as possible!

And the hit...
An attempt at a fun Christmas picture of the kids in the tree, but as you can see we didn't get Ellie to go up, so it was a no go! Oh well!

Happy Halloween

I love the fun festivities that come with Halloween....dressing up, trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving, and everything pumpkin! We don't really have trick-or-treating in this part of the world (though Ike's school actually did it this year), so instead we invited some friends over to do the other fun stuff!
We had firemen, cheerleaders, cowboys, farm girls, and even Secret Service agents show up!
We painted some pumpkins...
Colored some Halloween pictures...
Made some pumpkin, ghost, and Frankenstein pizzas
Carved some pumpkins..
And watched them glow...
The artists and their pumpkins!
