DiPAC- homeschool field trip

DIPAC is a fishery up here in Juneau, the schools do a lot of field trips to DIPAC.  This particular field trip the RAPTOR center came to show the Raven Homeschool kids some different types of Raptor birds. we saw a barn owl, Steller Jay(like a blue jay), Raven and a Falcon.  It was pretty interesting. My girls liked looking at the fish more than the birds. 

My baker and cook

Kira loves to help out in the kitchen. She wants to bake at all times and help with dinner always.  One night I told her I need to get up to make dinner and she told me, "mom don't worry about it, Ill make dinner, it will be my service to you." It was very sweet.  Kira made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for me and Samantha.  her Aunt Loreen was in the kitchen by this point and was making pancakes so she helped Kira learn how to make pancakes.  They were pretty good pancakes.  The next morning, Kira wanted to make pancakes again, so I let her. She did an awesome job. I love that she is so eager to learn new skills.

The Girls and their photo shoot

On Sunday's the girls end up looking more cute than other days because they are dressed up in their Sunday dresses and their hair is fixed cuter, etc etc... we end up doing a lot of pictures on Sunday.  here are a few of the picture we took last Sunday of our beautiful princess' (Samantha changed the setting on my camera, I didn't realize till later, that stinker)

Halloween 2013

The morning of the trunk or treat for our ward, also the morning of Halloween, Sione started coming up with ideas for costumes for us two.  i was thinking are you kidding me we don't have time to come up with something.  Well we ended up having costumes, Kira kept asking us, we want to be the cool parents right?!   Sione was Clark Kent and I was a vivint technician.  Its all we could do in that short of time.  It worked, Kira was satisfied. :)  

Kira was a vampire princess and Samantha went as a black cat.  Samantha didn't want to wear her ears, or tail so she just wore all black. 

we had tons of fun at the trunk or treat, the kids played games and then we went trunk or treating.  I decided to pass out candy this year, so I wouldn't have to walk around as much.  It was fun seeing all the different costumes people had.
