It is hard to see but Jeff makes a cute army butterfly. :)

Trick or Treat! :) Mimi, Poppy, Jeff, Jim, Laura, Kiera and Jordan all came over for trick or treating fun. :)

The tennis club gave him a nice racket. Sheesh! :)

Nathan got up there afterwards and kept saying, "where is my ribbon, get the scissors." Too funny!! :)

Our too kind neighbor wrote a note to the city because Jake enjoys picking up trash at the park and they honored him by letting him have the 1st official slide down the slide. He was tickled. :)

Jake and Lily drew their faces and Scott carved them. He chose a "crying" face for Nathan because he cried the whole time. Why? I am not sure. :(

Pumpkin fun. :)

Even little Nathan can tell me his birthdate, the city and country where he was born. It is soooo cute! :)

Here Jake is with his passport. They use it to get on and off their flights. :)

This is how we "fly" to the new countries we study. Complete with in-flight beverages and snack. When you look out the "window" you get a view of world map zooming by PLUS you get to listen to music of the country you are leaving and entering. :) It's fun. :)

Lily LOVES math. :)
