Lunar eclipse observed by some, causes strange sleepwalking behavior in others...

Dad decided to see if anyone wanted to see the lunar eclipse at 2:52 am. Krissy, Missy and Annie wanted to see it so Dad woke them up. Krissy stayed awake long enough to see the eclipse. Missy was sleepwalking and said she saw the eclipse but then she went back in the house and took a shower and was found sitting with a towel on her head before being sent back to bed. Annie said the moon was too bright to look at and went back to bed.

Krissy and Dad survived long enough to see the full eclipse and take this great picture with Mommy's new camera.

The Girls (update)

Annie was up to a lot of gymnastics this summer. She went several times a week and absolutely loves it! Even though gymnastics is her favorite hobby over the summer she found another one.... catching grasshoppers. She can make the little guys do whatever she wants. And seems to be a talented grasshopper whisperer. Annie has currently started 2nd grade and is very pleased to be in a second/third grade split.

Krissy is still playing piano, doing art, and being her funny little self! In piano she is playing Beauty and the Beast. And her art is still fabulous! She is still obsessed with pigs and her collection grows on, bigger and bigger. Krissy is going into 4th grade and likes being considered a "big timberwolf"

Missy is still a wonderful dancer and mathematician. Missy is going on to point and really enjoys lyrical and jazz. She got tested and hopes to be in 7th grade math even though shes a 6th grader. Shes enjoying middle school and likes all of her many teachers. She loves her koalas and continues her collection.

As for me, Jessie, I am enjoying being in high school except for the fact that I am a baby again. I like my cheer teams ( varsity competition and freshmen). And I am excited to cheer at football games on my box! I loved my summer filled with Efy and other camps. I still love frogs and green and being a high schooler!

Look at this nifty playground......

Why chop down trees....The new thing is playgrounds! As the play set started to age Dad decided it needed to go! We all gathered around on a Saturday afternoon to see him tear the thing down. He got down his ax and started chop chop chopping away! To Dad it might have been "serious work" but to the girls it was pure entertainment!

After he destroyed the old playground he went to work on a new and improved version. It was a lot of work. Here it is.

It was raining, so they had to play in the rain...

Jessie is acting silly as Annie slides with glee
