Movie Night

Friday night we decided to have a family movie night at home. It was cold and rainy and it was a perfect night to stay indoors and watch a movie. Ava is big into all the Disney princesses so we got Aladdin so she could see Jasmine. Both girls loved the movie and danced to all the songs. We had popcorn with M & M's and candy corn in it. Ella spent the whole time trying to dig all of the candy corn out and eat it. It was fun having the whole family watch a movie. Ava liked the movie so much we have watched it another 3 times this weekend.

Its Been Awhile

I thought that I would finally get back to this. It has been a while so bear with me. We have been super busy over the last couple of weeks with Halloween, dance class, preschool, school, photoshoots, etc. Everything is going by so fast it is hard to imagine that that it is almost Thanksgiving.
Ava and Ella did very well at their recent photo shoot for a quilting magazine. One of the girls will be in an issue in March and the other will be in an issue next fall. They were very well behaved and they even got paid 50 dollars each!!
Sarah has been busy with her photography and she is becoming very good at it. Last Thursday she had to babies come over and she took their pictures. I have a link on this website for her photos. They are very good and she might me onto something about a side business.
Halloween was a fun and exciting venture this year. Both Ava and Ella loved every minute of it. Ella was so excited that as her pumpkin got heavier and heavier she didn't want to put it down. She had a death grip on the pumpkin that was full of candy.
Ava has been busy with going to one day of preschool every week. She learns a letter and does a craft every Thursday. She loves and is always excited about going to school like Daddy does. Dance has been going well for her and she is learning new things every week.
As for me I have been busy with school and everything that goes along with that. Thanksgiving break is still a week and half away and it will be nice to have a break from the kids for awhile. I will post the pictures of all of this after this post so keep scrolling down to see them. Thanks for reading I will hopefully get better at posting more often.

New Computer/Photo shoot

Last night Sarah and I had to break down and buy a new computer. Our old one, which was over 3 years old, just gave out. We went to Best Buy and bought a new Toshiba. It is about 100 times bigger and faster then our old one. Hopefully this computer will be better for Sarah and her photography. We will have to see.
On the other hand next Tuesday the girls have a photo shoot for a magazine. Sarah is excited and is hoping that the girls will be good. Check back later to see how they did. I will get pictures of Halloween up later after the transfer of computer files. Later

Change

I know I should not rant and rave about politics, but here I am. I am happy and proud to be an American today. With me being a teacher of history this doesn't get any better. To see Barack Obama become the 44th President of the United States is beyond words. To have an African-American become our president is something that is beyond words. I know I sound like like a freak, but that is how I feel. Politics are a very polarizing thing, either you like a person or you hate them. Together as a country we should come together and back our new president. I know some of you may disagree with me, but don't take offense. Thank you for listening to me.
