Ivie Amazes Me!

So, yesterday I was combing Ivie's hair and she says to me, "Mom, do you know how to make a slideshow?" I said, "Do you mean with PowerPoint?" She says, "Yes. We've been using PowerPoint in school. I had to write a story and put in pictures and do a Presentation to my class. My teacher says we get to show them to you at Parent/Teacher conferences." She's 7 and in second grade. I can't believe how young they learn these things. She was really excited when I told her we had PowerPoint on our computer at home, she made another PowerPoint last night and was working on another when I went to work this mroining. I love that girl, she's such a sweetie!

Two weeks from today .....

Two weeks from day is one of my FAVORITE days of the year, Black Friday. Who doesn't love it. I love getting up early (so early) and going shopping with my Mom and sisters. It is so fun. I'm hoping to get a lot of Christmas Shopping done that day. Now, I guess I need to start worrying about the quest to find a babysitter.

Halloween at the Searles

We had a fun Halloween this year. The kids got a TON of candy and had fun showing off their costumes. Claire had a fun preschool Halloween parade and got enough candy to skip trick-or-treating all together. The girls both had dance parties too. Then on Halloween we had a Trunk-or-Treat and then made our way to all of the grandparents houses too. They were all tired when it was over! Here's some pictures of them.
