Photos for YOU, Jean!!!
Rayna and Doug went to Doug's best friend's birthday party Saturday evening. Luke, Doug's best friend, had a fish-fry/pizza party for his birthday this year. Of course, he also had a pinata! (Latin American tradition, I think!) There were twelve or so kids at the party. They had a blast taking turns swinging at the pinata as Luke's dad jerked the other end of the rope to keep it constantly moving up and down, back and forth! The kids also had a blast on the trampoline. (Darcy was invited--she and Luke's older sister are friends, too--but, she decided she needed to go to the band performance with her dad. She sang with the band at Pleasant Hill for RailRoad Days while her siblings and I were at Luke's birthday party.)

Doug watched closely as his buddy opened each birthday present!
Darcy working on her math this morning! She HATES the Dive CDRom that accompanies her Saxon Math curriculum this year...but her MOTHER likes it! She spent most of the lesson talking back to the Dive Instructor...being rather sarcastic with him...something she could NEVER do with her mother, were her MOTHER explaining the lesson to her! (Actually, she had me cracking up with some of her remarks and the falsetto voice in which she carried on her running dialogue with her on screen instructor!)  ¶ 9/18/2006 03:21:00 PM
