My 4th grade Wednesday night Bible class made radio commercials promoting the Bible on a recent Wednesday night after a lesson on Josiah recovering the Book of the Law in God’s temple.

The 6skinnyfeet have been too busy to blog.  Here’s an update on what we’ve been doing this fall.

Miss A started ballet class.

L played Upward soccer on a co-ed 4th – 6th grade team.

Go Mavericks!

Trunk or Treat Fun

L wanted to be the Blue Fairy. I found this costume for her on Ebay.

The 4th grade put on a great program for Veterens Day.

We had lots of fun at the BV Worldfest

Miss A learned how to bellydance.

Shaking it at the Worldfest

Miss A had a great time belly dancing and did not want to leave.

We had a great time learning about other cultures at the Brazos Valley Worldfest.  A’s favorite part was the belly dancing.  We asked Miss L if she wanted to belly dance.  She politely declined by saying “I don’t think it’s appropriate to move my hips that way.”

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth.  I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:  I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.  Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,  I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.  Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”  Genesis 9: 8-16 NIV

This rainbow’s beauty absolutely stopped me in my tracks the other evening.  I was rushing to avoid getting wet while on the way to a meeting at the girls’ school.  I don’t think this picture quite captured the jaw-dropping, brightness of God’s promise in the sky.  It was a show stopper.

Toothless wonder

Yesterday A came out of school complaining that her tooth hurt because she had hit it with her water bottle.  After school we checked it out and found a very loose tooth.  Her tooth was bothering her during dinner, so she went to the bathroom and pulled it out herself!  She was so proud of herself for pulling her own tooth.  It was “easy, peasy”, she said.  She was very excited this morning to find that the tooth fairy had left $3 under her pillow on her first visit to A’s room.

Ready for the 1st Day of School

School started this week for the girls.  The 6skinny feet are getting used to walking to and from school everyday.  The local school district built a new school behind our neighborhood.  I am not quite brave enough to let them walk to and from school yet by themselves.  Maybe next week.

A loves her teacher, Ms. H and she is so happy to be sitting by her good friend Grayson.  L is excited to have two teachers this year.  Her homeroom teacher Ms. C teaches Language Arts and Social Studies and she goes next door to have Math and Science with (a different) Ms. H.  They are loving it so far.

While we were watching the Wimbledon Men’s final replay on ESPN Classic between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick, A walked by and looked at the screen.  It was showing the match statistics for each player under their country’s flag.

A : “There’s the United States and hospital.”
Me: “Uh no, sweetie. That’s the flag for the country of Switzerland.”
A: “Oooooohhhh.”

Some tennis players probably feel like they play for the country of Hospital as often as they are injured.

I can’t believe how behind I’ve gotten on this blogging thing.  I will try and update you all on our happenings over the last few months in another post very soon.  In the mean time,  here’s a few pictures from our vacation to Inks Lake State Park and San Antonio.  I found a really cool program called Smile Box and had a great time creating a photo album with it.  Enjoy!
