Walking with the Dinosaurs















We took the kids to see Walking with the Dinosaurs on Wednesday night before I left for Colorado.

I was so looking forward to seeing it and it was all that I hoped! It was informative, educational and entertaining! The kids had a blast. It was amazing to see dinosaurs as true to life as we'll ever see. It's really hard for you to get a feel for how big the dinosaurs were. In the picture with the T-Rex and it's baby....The man that was on the stage floor narrating the story, was SMALLER than the baby T-rex!! The kids were just in awe the whole time.
Sadly, leaving the show, I realized they were listening to the narrator because Kasey was asking if a comet can hit the Earth again...Because they learned that a comet is responsible for the extinction of the dinosaur and where it hit is now known as the Gulf of Mexico! Amazing. And scary. It saddens me that she worries about things like that.









Lots of Georgia pictures

Erin field trip












I went on a field trip with Erin's class to see Madagascar 2. Only one chaperone was allowed to go and my name was pulled out of a hat! How lucky is that ?!?!

So we're in the theater and Erin is so "famous" that she can't sit next to me. She has to sit between her friends. Too cute.

Epcot









Lora and I went to Epcot Food and Wine Festival. My first time...definitely not hers : )

She went in there with a map and a plan of attack...warning me that no one could ever keep up with her as far as sampling all the foods. Well....she was wrong. I told her I CAN EAT!!
Each country has little samples of food from $3 to $5. And you just go from tent to tent sampling food! My kind of place...I love trying different foods.
I wanted to keep going and trying more food and she gave up on me.

The highlight was David Cassidy, that's a story in itself. We walk past all the people waiting in line to see him....it had to be over an hour wait...We walk right by continuing our sampling...
We make it to the show 5 minutes before it starts. She dragged me there by the way!
Anyway...the usher said to her, so...are you a fan of David's. Lora says in her usual kidding, friendly way " no, our feet just hurt". He obviously knew she was joking and laughs and walks us up to the second freaking row. Great.....I'm with the people who waited over an hour to see him.
Lora is in her glory! Or maybe it was the wine : )
Check these pictures out...she hops OVER the seat for a picture. Hysterical.

I love her....no one can make me laugh like she can!

Kasey science project











This was Kasey's first science project. She had to do the project at home and write out the process and what her hypothesis, procedure and results were.

She filled glasses of water and had put them under 4 different watt light bulbs. She'd leave them on for hours and then record the results. She did this 3 different times.

It was interesting and she learned alot. Science isn't one of her favorite subjects. She has a big test on Friday and she's been studying so hard every night with Kevin. Wish her luck!





Halloween
















Kasey was a vetinarian and Erin was a 50's girl. They looked adorable. Not sure if you can see it but I ordered the white jacket for Kasey and it said Dr. Karaktin. Hopefully that will be true one day : )

My friends David, Rick and Lora came over and we hung out in the driveway and gave out candy. Rick and I were playfully arguing all night because he seriously gave like 10 peices of candy to each kid! I was like HELLO?!?!? TWO!! tops!! Almost at the end of the night we had to releive him of his candy duty to make sure we had enough to get us through.
I'll try to add more pictures when I return to FL. I'm sure my mom's camera has some better ones.
