poppies & snowflakes

As my loyal readers know (all 3 of you...), I missed my blog entry last week.  But since the 3 of you also know exactly what the title of this entry means, you know I have a very good excuse.  :)  The school musical is this weekend and last week I was doing a last minute prop project making large poppies and snowflakes with lots of glitter!  :)  Here are a few pictures:

There are 30 of them, with a poppy on one side and a snowflake on the other.  They'll be used by the middle school chorus in The Wizard of Oz.  :)

Other than heavy "snow" fall in our kitchen and dining room, we managed to stay busy with other activities as well.  In the last 2 weeks we've worn winter coats, hats & mittens as well as short sleeves and sunglasses!  Don't like the weather in Ohio?  Wait until tomorrow.  ;)  Noah had a Touring Company performance at a pancake breakfast on Saturday and the boys and I went to the Mazza Museum at the University of Findlay for Funday Sunday.  The theme was Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  Afterwards, the weather was so beautiful that we decided to stop at our favorite park, Emory Adams, which is also in Findlay. 

Throughout all of our busy-ness, we've also been having some work done on the parsonage!  Last Tuesday, a crew came and ripped the roof off our house and put on a new one - in one afternoon!  It was a bit loud for naptime, but Josiah somehow slept through it all.  :)  They are now working on putting new siding on our house!  Michael took some before pictures and I know we'll have some after photos when the project is done - I'll post them all together when the project is complete!

And of course, we can't have fall without some leaf pile pictures!  Enjoy and we'll see you next week!
