Our church held a missions conference and my job was to teach and entertain 4 and 5 year olds for 6 hours! Kaleigh and her friend Rachel helped me. The day went well. Here are some things we did.
We made prayer books. The kids colored the flag of the country the missionary serves in and then glued the prayer card on the page with the flag.
We had an Around the World puzzle that a group worked on.
And then did a bunch of crafts. We made sheep coin banks, a foam craft and some sand art crosses.
It was a great day and I got to bond with some great little people! Later that evening my brother and sister in-law came over for dinner. It was great to love on my nephew!

We said goodbye to the Bhandari's. They were missionaries from India that stayed with us over the weekend. They are dear to our hearts and we really enjoyed having them in our home.
( Picture to come )

Mondays are crock pot meals. The kids have choir while I am at bible study, so it is nice to have our supper ready and waiting in the crockpot when we get home. If anyone has any good recipes for the crock pot I would love to hear about them!
Thursday October 20th
I try not to let the little girl I watch sleep more than an hour if she falls asleep. So on this day I got her up about 3pm after her 1 hour nap. We began playing on the floor and next thing I know, she was asleep again. She clearly wasn't ready to wake up. Hopefully, she slept for her parents that night.

We had two free tickets to Six Flags to use by October 30th so we decided to go check out the Fright Fest there. The kids were super excited and assured me they wouldn't be scared. I did not know what to expect because we had never been. We talked a great deal about how there might be people in costumes and makeup there. Well, two out of the three were able to handle it. One of my children who will remain nameless,
I thought the ghosts on top of the building as you entered were cool.
Kaleigh on yet another horse..LOL!
Me trying my best to look scared.
The boys in front of the Gotham City roller coaster.
This is where all the scary stuff happened. It wasn't that costumes that get you. It is people jumping out from behind things, yelling and reving their chainsaw that gets you.
The kids rode the scrambler about four times in a row.
This was a little show in where they 'cut off' someone's head. Then they put her head on a shelf where it started to talk. Parker was amazed and wanted to know how they did it. Daddy, of course, explained the entire illusion.
Aside from the scary parts, the entire family thought this was the best time to go to Six Flags. There was hardly anyone there and there were NO LINES. They rode each major roller coaster at least twice with no wait!
