Troy's many talents


Troy likes making vlogs and home movies. Though he has limited tools, I think he does an AMAZING job!

I have posted some of his videos over here---------------------------------------->

His very first one was about a year ago, that he made for me for our 10 year anniversary. You can watch it BY CLICKING THIS LINK, if you want.

But for today, I would like to share this one that he put together for YM/YW combine activities. Kids spoke a little bit to soft, so you really have to listen. But I thought you might enjoy the accent, while watching my baby's creation.

Halloween Week


From what we heard people of England don't feel that Halloween is a big deal of a celebration holiday. We got mixed opinions about dressing up, trick-or-treating, decorating etc. When I went to the pound store (dollar store) to find some decorations we were quickly identified by the amount of Halloween stuff that we bought.
So, Troy and I decided that we will try to have Halloween in the best way we can, just for the kids.
We made some sugar cookies

Chocolate covered apples

Draw hundreds of scary pictures. Which became our wall decorations as well.
Carved pumpkins that we picked ourselves from the farm near by

Baked some pumpkins seeds

And then we decided to have few kids over for the party.

We eat pizza, candy, played fun games. Kids had blast. It was really loud in our house with all the children excitement and sugar overload!

And just as we thought Halloween was over and our kids didn't miss trick-or-treating, Sunday rolled over and guess who came to our door? Yeap, Trick-or-treaters! I have never felt more embarrassed! I felt like Grinch that stole Halloween. We only had 5 kids that came by....but those 5 were the kids from Rylee's class. So yes, she was embarrassed as well!
The next day we went to see Russian Moscow Circus. It was a lots of fun. The acrobats were amazing! Kids were thrilled to see all the tricks they can do. Drew was at the end of his chair with permanent smile on his face. I can just read his mind in wounder, to see if he can do it at home. Lovely!

In over all our Halloween turn our great! Troy and I have decided that we loved having Party for the kids and we agreed to have it every year!
