What great pictures! Looks like a wonderful time with extended family. That is the one thing we miss the most being so far away from family and moving so frequently.
Thanks for letting me enjoy yours vicariously!

What a fun day! And so much to be thankful for. I am sorry I have not been on as much as I would like. But somehow life is very full right now. I will be off to CA to help my Mom for a week soon. I will also email you asap. The girls are working on a project that we will soon unveil. I will also be posting it so that is taking a ton of time. You family looks so loving you are truly blessed!

I have to say that the most impressive picture was of your son with the suds. James would probably totally freak out if I asked him to help with the dishes. Especially if it meant getting his hands in soapy water. Now, give the boy mud or grease and he'd be all for it. LOL. I love pumpkin seeds too! It looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration.

Blessings,
Lori

Oct. 9, 2007 - Your celebration looks like fun.

You asked about my pumpkin plants. I am not sure how long the season is here yet but it is still in the low 80's during the day and is only going to about 50 at night. (Fahrenheit)

I didn't grow anything but strawberries and rhubarb when we were in Alaska because the short season and the fact that we went camping every weekend made it too troublesome. :-)

Don't worry too much about Mt. Washmore- it's bound to fall eventually- or at least not get any bigger if you keep giving it 15 minutes of attention.

Blessings, Terrill

Great pictures Mary! I looks like everyone had a wonderful time together and the food looks great!

In answer to your question about division & Systematic Math, sorry, but it doesn't have anything just for division. He does sell something for parents with his advice on what to do about the basics that includes multip/division, but otherwise his material starts at a more advance 6th grade - 7th grade level of fractions.

Have a good day dear!
