Harvesting and Homecoming!

This week was Homecoming at school.  The kids got to dress up, it was fun getting a little creative and hunting for things at the thrift store! The first day for them dressing up was on Tuesday which was rainbow colors day.  I was really hoping that the camouflage day would be on one of the days the kids had school, but it was the first day.  I had this big plans for rainbow day for Jacqueline, but I didn't get to it.  I was going to go through my ribbon and get the colors that were in the shirt she was going to wear and braid the ribbon through her hair.  I still did her hair with colors, many pony tail holders, and it looked cool!!

This was the shirt that Jacqueline wore for rainbow day (the shirt is one that would fit me that I turned into a dress)

Jacqueline's hair!

Finding a shirt with rainbow colors for Nathaniel was harder then I thought.  Figured this one would work since it is full of colors!! (He was not interested in taking the picture)

Thursday was the next day for dressing up for homecoming and that one was hats and shades day.  Kevin goes through sunglasses like crazy and we had plenty of them lying around that the kids could use.  

I was going to have Jacqueline go without shades, I thought that she looked great just like this!!

Since Nathaniel was going to wear shades, Jacqueline got a pair too!

Today the kids didn't have school but it was also the homecoming parade too!! All the classes were part of it and did cheers! We were on the sidewalk waiting for the parade to start and Jacqueline's teacher and the other kindergarten class was walking in front of us and she saw Jacqueline and called her over to join in the parade and cheers! Jacqueline sure did have a blast being part of the parade and it was so fun watching her cheering with her class and as all the other classes passed on their floats.  She was all smiles!

Jacqueline is in this group doing cheers.

Zoomed in, Jacqueline is behind the girl in all black and in front of the teacher by the red truck. White tank top and hair in a ponytail is Jacqueline.

The homecoming King and Queen.

The kids were thrown some candy at the end and Jacqueline got some!

I think that she was listening to her teacher in this one.

Tuesday was also the day that Nathaniel's school schedule changed.  School for half the day and day care the other half.  It will be like this for Tuesday and Thursday until November when it will change again to school half day Monday thru Thursday and day care the other half of the day. Both are really enjoying school!! Jacqueline has started talking about a girl at school, her friends Gaochii.  So far what I have learned about her is that she has black hair and she is 6 yrs old and her favorite color is pink. I cant wait to meet her.  I am glad that Jacqueline has found a friend at school.  There is also another girl, Brylyn, she has blond hair, 5 years old and her favorite color is orange.  I don't here about her as often as I do about Gaochii. 

Wheat harvest is coming to an end and other crops are waiting their turn.  They are currently harvesting the wheat around the house.  Kids really like it as they get to see all the trucks and tractors. And we get to walk across the road to see Kevin working the bagger. It gets really dusty, its been windy the last two days

Our house from the field!

Nathaniel had fun being by the tractors.

Jacqueline did too!

Bandit!! He saw that Kevin was in the field across the road and went to go say 'hi' (He will be 6 months old in November!)

I finally walked out and really checked the garden after the frost hit.  All the corn died as did the green beans.  The zucchini didn't die as I thought that it would.  There are still zucchinis growing, which might need to be picked tomorrow.  The root veggies are still going strong!! Pumpkins are good, they are turning more and more orange as the week passes.  I think that the watermelon is done growing and I will most likely pick it also tomorrow or by Monday, maybe even a honeydew too!  

The biggest pumpkin, the other one is not as nicely round like this one....it leans a little.

Watermelon! According to what I have read of the '5 signs that a watermelon is rip' This has 3 of the 5 signs that it is ready!!

I have been doing an online Bible study with a cousin of Kevin's (Hi Misty!) and I have been enjoying it!! I really want to do a post about the study we finished and what I learned when we studied the book of Titus. I will get it done here in a few days or so!  I really liked the one today, especially one of the Bible verses, so I will end today with that!

Have a great night everyone!!
