CCD and Halloween costumes

It has been a long time since I've last posted. Oops! Sorry to those few readers. I'll try to be better.

Anyways, a little update. Mackenzie has started CCD classes at church. It's like Sunday school for preschool to 5th grade. She loves it! And that makes me happy. She has missed a month, because she just got registered a few weeks ago and it started the first Sunday of September. They learn about everything. Last week was all about Mary. She's only in preschool so they didn't focus on the details, obviously. But she knows the basics about Mary. This week they made spiders made out of pumpkins and pipe cleaners and put a candle in them. The teacher said, you light the candle, says a prayer and blow out your candle. The smoke takes your prayer to heaven. Mackenzie thought that was a great idea!
Her and her spider pumpkin!

I have also registered for my classes! Back to school I go! I'm actually really excited about going back. Even though this whole semester I have online classes. At least I can do it all around my own schedule with the kids. I'm taking : American government, American history to 1877, child psychology, and modern culture & the arts. It's a full load, but I'm determined to finish my AA within 2 years, so I will also go at least one summer semester. I start those Jan 6!


Finally, the kids have decided on their Halloween costumes. Mackenzie will be a pretty pink princess. Sometimes she called herself aurora. But we will find out what her actual name will be on Halloween. But she has a pink princess dress and her dress up crown to wear. Cameron is going to be Woody, the cowboy from Toy Story. I already have his costume, I just have to find him a cowboy that will fit his head. All of them I've found are adults. I'm also dressing up this year with the kids. Mackenzie decided that I will be a witch. We don't have any pictures yet, but after Halloween, I will post those.

Have a great week!
