The Giving Tree

Once there was a tree.....

and she loved a little boy.

And every day the boy would come and he would gather her leaves and make them into crowns and play king of the forest.

He would climb up her trunk and swing from her braches and eat apples.

And they would play hide-and-go-seek.

And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade. And the boy loved the tree......very much. And the tree was happy.

Happy Veterans Day

Brooks participated in a Veterans Day program this past Sunday. The 3rd and 4th grade classes sung many patriotic songs. Among them were songs from each branch of the armed forces. As each song was being sung they asked audience members who served or had served in these branches to stand. It was very moving! At the end of the program the students passed out flags to each audience member who had stood up. Brooks made a beeline to Pop, so he could give him his flag.

Happy Veterans Day!

We went to Trunk or Treat last Thursday evening at church. We had a blast just like we always do. Reese went as a pirate. He kept showing everyone his mustache.Reese and his best friend Cooper.I forgot to get a picture of Brooks without his mask on. He and Austin stayed in character!

We had a great time! Happy Halloween! (a couple of days late)
