Christmas is in the air

 
Today we spent the day making Christmas foam kits. We made 8 in all. I should have taken pictures while we were making them, but forgot. The best I could do is show what it all looks like complete
This is just one picture of the whole thing. We began at 10:45 and finished at 4 pm. Long day of creativity.

Miniature Golf

We took the kids miniature golfing last week. It was the first time that they had gone and they loved it. We ended up doing two rounds because, they were having so much fun. Here is Benjamin Golfing.
 It was a warm day, but Jasmine had her snow jacket and sunglasses on most of the time. She takes after me. Always cold.
Even though they are getting older they still pose with each other. In this picture they are getting ready to go on an elevated obstacle course. The video is a short clip of them on the course. Benjamin was scared, Jasmine was fearless. They were both excited and they loved it.
Rougeh and the kids posing before we started golfing. So glad that he is done with school and has free time now. We love having family days.

Kids... Plus a bit more

We just finished our first Trimester of school with the kids. They all pulled 5's (this generations A's). I am so proud of them.

In Other News. Halloween came and went. I had not posted on them for Halloween So here it is.
The week before Halloween we went to a pumpkin patch. Jasmine just had to wear her costume. She is a Princess Vampire.
Benjamin loves smiling for the camera.
They made SPOOKY tree houses. Love the posing.
This is me and the kids posing yet again. I love these little monkeys.

In completely different news. I just saw the movie, Julie/Julia. I already like cooking, but really I suck at it. I am taking a note from this movie. I picked up a cook book and I will be cooking at least one recipe from it a day. So yesterday I went shopping for supplies. My first recipe is caramelized apple pork loins. I hope it works out well. Rougeh is all for it. I keep asking him if he thinks this or that recipe sounds good, his response is "you never know unless you try it."

So tonight is the first night. I will let you know how it goes.
