Fall Fun Stuff

We deciced to have "homemade" pizza night. Here is Logan's creation. Don't you agree that the smiley face is a nice touch!
Here is Ryan's creation. He put pepper-jack cheese on half of his because he knew that's what Daddy liked.

This was a fun science project. Logan was given the element Calcium and had to create it with food, present it to the class and then everyone enjoyed their creations. Logan decided to make his out of pizza with icing and skittles. I think it sounded better than it actually tasted. Not to mention by the time we got to school, the pizza was cold, but it turned out great!

This is Logan right before it's time to go trick-or-treating and he can't decide if he wants to go as Mac Daddy (from last Halloween) with gold candy wrap paper around his teeth or go as planned as Link from the Adventures of Zelda. So he has a little of both on. Is this what they call a child trying to "find themselves"?

This is Ryan right before it's time to go trick-or-treating and
he decides he doesn't like his costume!

Here is what they both ended up with for Halloween, 2008:
Link (from the adventures of Zelda) and
one of the Clone Troopers from Star Wars

Project Pink 2008

Occtober 4, 2008 - Rayne, LA
I had the honor of judging the Pretty In Pink pageant. This year's slogan for the Susan G. Komen Foundation is "Save The Tatas". Of course I had to offer my support and purchase one of their t-shirts. However, I never thought that when I wore it, I would have to explain the slogan to my 11 year old son. Here I was trying to take advantage of a teachable moment of a very serious situation and all he could do was giggle. The joys of motherhood!
These are the new ambassadors for breast cancer awareness from each age category in the Pretty In Pink Pageant.

The 3 ladies in the middle are all breast cancer survivors with the longest one being diagnosed 14 years ago!

Balloons were set free in honor of those with breast cancer.

Our prayers go out to all who face the battle of cancer.
