Red Sea Project

Ansley has been studying Moses and the journey of the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan.  In conjunction with this her class had to do a diorama showing the exodus and the parting of the Red Sea.  Ansley worked very hard on this project!  We hate to take it apart but we used Elisabeth's PlayMobil people and she wants them back!   So we took some pictures so we can remember the project and thought we would share them with you.   This is the scene where Moses and the Israelites are going through the Red Sea that God parted and the Egyptians are in pursuit behind them.  The Angel of the Lord is between them and the cloud of fire is also between them that put darkness on the side of the Egyptians and daylight on the side of the Israelites.

Halloween

What a busy busy weekend!  We had fall festivals, Halloween parties, Halloween parades, Trunks or Treats and then Trick or Treating.  Our kids don't need any more candy!  :-)  And being in the house all day with the bag of candy staring at me is very very tempting.  I'm going to have to hide it from myself! The dentist is going to love us on our next visit....

Our neighbor's dog, Clyde

After the parade there were refreshments at the pool parking lot.  They even set up a little pumpkin patch and each of the kids got to take one home.  Cute idea!

Saturday night we did "Trunks or Treats" at the church.  It was alot of fun and the kids got alot of candy.  Once the sun went down it was soooo cold.  Elisabeth was the warmest one with her furry panda suit on!

 John decorated the porch and the bushes with spider webs and spiders.  I hate spiders so I'm not sure why I bought all this stuff.   It did look creepy though.

Our pumpkins

 We had a fog machine, 2 strobe lights, spider webs everywhere, candles and spooky music playing.  The kids LOVED that we did all of this and had a blast handing out candy!
