Wordful Wednesday: Going Baroque!

We went to the Kimbell art museum in Fort Worth the other day for a Homeschool workshop on Caravaggio.  They had a Baroque dress up station that the kids had a lot of fun with...




Wordful Wednesday is hosted by Seven clown circus.

Wordful Wednesday

This is Claire as St. Helena at our Saints Party this year.




She carved a pumpkin with symbols for St. Helena too.


She was very excited when she won first place in her age group for the pumpkin carving contest!
And, fittingly enough, she won a cross!




Wordful Wednesday is hosted by Parenting by Dummies.

Postcard Friendship Friday #82

This is an oversized postcard that I got from the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.  Its an untitled work by Erick Swenson.  I don't quite know why, but I like it! :)

Postcard Friendship Friday #81

Just in time for Halloween, here is a postcard I got at Disneyland of the Haunted Mansion.
If you ever go to Disneyland or Disney World make sure to go on this ride.  It is so cool!
I don't know how they do it, but they have ghosts and really cool special effects!


This last picture is one that I snapped of the mansion while we were there.  Every Halloween (and I think Christmas) they decorate it with the Nightmare before Christmas theme.  They change up the ride inside too.  I actually prefer the original ride, but it was neat to see what all they did for the holidays.

Nine!

Today was my daughter's 9th birthday.

She had a great day in school and played with her friends.  We went out for dinner to a local Italian restaurant and had chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream cake for dessert!!

Can't believe its been 9 years already.  My husband and I told her the other night that we weren't going to allow her to turn nine.  She just smiled and said, "you can't stop me!"

I'm posting this from the laptop and blogger is not cooperating with me, but below is her picture from today as well as a few from over the years.
