A report by Emily, age 10 (almost)
Current Event:
Barack Obama’s Grandmother Dies
Emily, Nov. 3’08
The day before 2008 election, Barack Obama’s grandmother dies after a long time of putting up with cancer. She died in her apartment in Honolulu. Barack called her Toot since he was little. She had mostly raised him, and helped build his character. Obama’s mother was white, and his father was black so his Grandmother was white. Barack did not collapse when he heard about her dying, but he took it maturely because he had seen her and said good-bye before she left, and he knew that she was going to die soon. This is important because it shows that in a terrible situation, he would not panic, he would take it responsibly and handle it in a calm manner.

A Pretty Good Halloween
Emily & one of her best friends, Gabby, were a big hit at school this morning: not just for being dressed as Mimes, but for acting the Mime thing out all day!
An old friend had the best costume I have seen in a while. Please note name tag: "HELLO My Name is......The Devil"
Then Em & I enjoyed an old fashioned evening of trick or treating-a cloudy sky at dusk, a bit of wind, falling leaves, silly friends and shouts of "Trick or Treat" everywhere. Then the cherry on top was a small crowd of Trick or Treaters at our own door later: just what Ryan had been hoping for.
Could not ask for more.....

Ryan's Phineas & Ferb Halloween Bash
Ryan had worked for weeks creating the atmosphere for his latest party. Many decorations were hand done and the evening was very carefully planned. Here are just a few photos.
Safeway Bag Ghosts!
The animated Front Door Knockinator
Mantel Display (much cooler when all lit up)
WAY too much orange food...
Native American, Speed Racer & Mimely
The Redhead and the Bonehead
And my personal favorite, the Giant Baby Head
