This week we didn't do much around the island. We were busy with lots of other things. We started the week off finding out that our stuff was still in Virginia! We just shrugged our shoulders and continued on with life. There's nothing we could do so no point to get upset. Just another thing to chalk up about an overseas move. We're hoping by Thanksgiving we'll have them and can really move in.

At school this week the kids had a dress up day each week. One was hat day, duct tape day, spirit colors day, and the one being shown in the following pictures...fake an injury day :D
I dressed their eyes up with the makeup that I had and then placed bandaids on them. It was truly hilarious.

On Tuesday we went to a Halloween playgroup while the older 2 were at school. We don't have any of our costumes and didn't prepare to order any from the states because I was counting on our stuff making it here before Halloween. So I went online to a group I'm in on Facebook (Lajes Field Yard Sale) and found this costume for 4T-5T! I bought it and Sterling got to wear it to the Halloween playgroup. (I went to the thrift store on base hoping to find the others a costume. I found Maelie a mermaid costume and Garrett a dragon slayer costume! Also I found a bike stroller/trailer thing for really cheap! It was a good day at the very tiny thrift store. I didn't find one for Cole so we will have to borrow from somebody.)
At the playgroup we made these ghosts out of tissues and suckers.
Each child got to take home a little bag of candy and these vampire teeth.
On Wednesday I had the first Activity Days activity. We learned about being modest. We read from the FSOY pamphlet, did the Head, shoulders, knees and toes activity and then watched a 5 minute video about modest dresses. Then we designed a modest dress on a paper barbie and then modeled them down the runway.
7 girls: Anna Billman, Sariah Billman, Samantha Morgan, Sophie Davis, Maelie Palmer, Nicole Ramey, and Rebekah Parkinson
Their modest dresses. Maelie's is the yellow dress and mine is the green and pink dress. It was fun.

Cole loves apples. I will give him a whole apple and he will eat it all, core and everything.
After a 15 minute rainfall, the sun came up and shone against the dark sky. I love that look. I tried to take a picture on the beauty of it. This building is the youth center on base.
Saturday was full of soccer games and birthday parties. We normally go somewhere interesting on Saturdays, but there were just too many things going on.

On Sunday after a game of war with cards, we decorated cookies. With no cookie cutters yet we just made circles.




Until next week!
