Character Day & The Pinewood Derby

The kids have been busy.  A while back they had "character day" at school.  They decided that they were going as a pair.  Can you guess who they were?

Yep, they love Calvin and Hobbes as much as their parents!  Josiah is Calvin (he wanted me to dye his hair!) and Olivia is Suzy Durkins.

The next activity was the semi-annual pinewood derby.  The kids (and dad) did a great job on their cars.  They are both super creative.

Calvin & Hobbes are ready for the race!

Pure joy!

Not sure what we're going to do without our "race guy" Ron!

Pinewood Derby

Last night Nate Saint School had their semi-anual Pinewood Derby.  The kids LOVE it and thankfully so does Chad!  Here's some of the excitement from last night....

Water Day

The school always has a "water" day the Friday before Carnival begins.
This year was no exception. What fun!

Poor Miss Mueser!

Back to School BBQ

Saturday night we were invited to a Back to School barbeque at some friends' house. You know your kids go to Nate Saint School, when you can invite the entire school over to your house for a BBQ!!

1st Day of School

Today was the first day of school at Nate Saint Memorial School. The kids were so excited this morning. They got up early and were ready to go. I told Olivia that she probably isn't going to always be so excited to go to school. She didn't understand that at all!

How can time go so fast? It's so amazing that Olivia has started Kindergarten already and we have a third grader too! Yikes! Why is it harder to see your little girl grow up, than it is to see your son?

It was fun leading new music this morning for chapel. We had a full chapel full of parents, siblings, students and teachers. That's fun to see - since last year was a slim year in numbers. I think we have 23 kids this year....I know, most of you had that many in your home room class! But, such is the life here at NSMS.

Happy Fair to all of you in Van Wert county! We miss home most during Christmas, summer and definitely fair time. So, everyone get out there and eat your fair share of all the great, healthy food at the fair!



*Note how far it is for the kids to walk to school! The school is right behind them in the picture (over Josiah's shoulder).
