This is the reaction most of my "new ideas" get
Every year since Annabelle started school the kids are forced to do a "Back to School Survey". The questions are generally the same, but I usually mix in one or 2 new ones to keep it age appropriate, (For example this year we had to get rid of the "favorite cartoon" question in lieu of the "favorite TV show" question ::sniff sniff::). It's neat to look back over their old answers and also watch their handwriting and spelling improve (in some cases) each year. 

This year I decided to up the anty and force the kids to particpate include a short video of the mini's to go along with their surveys...below are the results...Enjoy..

If you listen closely...you can hear Gavin realize he's been eating Seminole germs all year...

 
"Can I get something out of my backpack" translation "Can I scream at Dad to retrieve something for me"
 

 
Taking excitement to a whole new level....


Annabelle was being a bit of a Debbie Downer yesterday, and was so not feeling the interview. Please ignore her sourpussness...this was her 3rd redo. She was basically viewing this for an audition to be Daria... 




Overall the second week down has been a success. The kids had their first real tests  & I think they're all a bit relieved to have those behind them. They all have expressed that this year is definitely harder than last & they will definitely be doing a lot more study'n...especially Gav! In his words, "5th grade is no joke!"

 The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.

Treaters

Here are the Branditos all ready to hit the streets trick or treating. We had a great time  & much to the kids pleasure came home with loads of candy. Of course their intake will be limited...but they haven't considered that just yet  (John already went through and claimed most of the kitkats) Gavin had trouble deciding exactly what he wanted to be this year. His top two picks, were Link from Zelda & a skeleton.  As you can see, in the end he decided on a skeleton. His costume was pretty cool & the bones were textured so you could feel them. The mask was short lived... thankfully... because honestly, it was a little scary... oh, and because it almost caused several accidents due to the limited visibility it provided. Heaven dressed as Abbey Bominable from Monster High. She's really into Monster High right now as I'm told it's very "cool" unfortunately her "cool" parents find most of the dolls a bit inappropriate, so really A...
