Circus!

My mom was able to get tickets to the circus for a cheaper price (homeschooling does have it's advantages ;) and we had lots of fun. I brought a friend and a couple other families we know came too. Sorry most of the pictures are blurry (as I type this Sam is standing over my shoulder telling me which ones I should delete and which ones are really blurry) but the lighting there was weird and even with my flash on some of them came out fuzzy. I will {try} not to overwhelm you with pictures ;)

Oh and did I mention Benjamin had an allergic reaction to pollen and broke out in hives? And had a double ear infection? No? Oh, well.

This is probably my favorite picture :)

On the way home :)

These people were on a wire right above us. No worries right?

Luckily these people were on the other side of the room ;)

The half man half woman. When we got home and Sam saw the picture, he confirmed that it was actually a man :D

Nano the midget :)

This was probably the most boring uninterested part of the whole circus

Nano and the ringmaster

These last five were taken before the show. We got there early enough to go to the floor and see the clowns and take pics with them.

Me and my friend Riley :)

Benjamin didn't exactly like the clowns ;)

Me and Emily <3

A Conversation with Sam

This is a conversation I had with Sam a few months ago:

Sam: "Emma, what does God look like?"

Me: "Well, you can't really see Him; He's not a thing."

Sam: "But Jesus is a person, and Jesus is God."

Me: "Yes, but-"

Sam: "Emma, Jesus is a person, and Jesus is God, now don't argue with me again!"

Halloween

This year Hannah and I didn't dress up, but Benjamin and Samuel dressed up as pirates.

Later at the house Benjamin traded his pirate hat for Dad's.

He found the pumpkin handle much more appetizing than the actual candy.

Whoa... Sugar rush!

Benjamin was very disappointed when he found out that inviting yourself into your neighbor's house is not what your supposed to do while trick or treating.

Even though Sam was a pirate a few years ago, he insisted on being it again this year.

Ignore the diaper hanging out, focus on taking the pictures.
