It is "anti-drugs" week at the schools this week and one of the activities that they all participated in has been to a make a bookmark telling people to not smoke or use drugs. Calvin found out that his bookmark was selected as one of the 15 winners from the whole school. He is very proud and excited. Tabitha got to participate in a great field trip today, they made planets on a billion to one scale and then went out and measured out a billion to one scale solar system. It was very interesting to see the spacing between the planets and realize just how huge it all is. After school, she took the boys and I all through it, from the sun to Pluto (which we all know is no longer considered a planet but utilized in this project nonetheless) was a good couple of miles. Very fun! The kids and I also hit one of the last Farmer's Markets of the season this afternoon, stocking up on apples and pears. Everyone then was so excited to see that we actually had leaves in our yard for the first time in any of our houses, that they then came home and raked, trying to a get a big pile together to jump in. After dinner, we headed to the zoo where thanks to the free VIP tickets from a neighbor, we participated in the zoo Halloween festival and games. Very fun for everyone and not the tiniest bit scary which is the way all four of our kids like it!
