County residents got into Dollywood for only $5 and the aquarium was free with a can of food. Since we are new here, I still feel like a tourist. Dollywood was fun with a great Polar Express 4-D experience. The aquarium was nice with one of those glass tunnels with the sharks and fish swimming above and around you. I hope this will be an annual trip.Cassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206433589241503521noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812145080802797178.post-22909135766048365552009-11-02T05:15:00.001-08:002009-11-02T05:15:35.143-08:00Animoto.com<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/46928cc51133af17/4aeedb75f09dcc33/46928cc51133af17/30b47970/widget.js"></script>Cassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206433589241503521noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812145080802797178.post-59157752778342999292009-11-01T05:46:00.000-08:002009-11-01T06:16:30.949-08:00Halloween<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/Su2VwVj3nhI/AAAAAAAABBo/RCLIlHLYIgg/s1600-h/DSCI0017.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/Su2VwVj3nhI/AAAAAAAABBo/RCLIlHLYIgg/s320/DSCI0017.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399136185940942354" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/Su2VwEmBPoI/AAAAAAAABBg/XKrx0Y2C3o4/s1600-h/DSCI0014.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/Su2VwEmBPoI/AAAAAAAABBg/XKrx0Y2C3o4/s320/DSCI0014.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399136181386559106" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/Su2Vv_7SiMI/AAAAAAAABBY/cLMvrq96Hro/s1600-h/DSCI0012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/Su2Vv_7SiMI/AAAAAAAABBY/cLMvrq96Hro/s320/DSCI0012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399136180133595330" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/Su2VvoRTx-I/AAAAAAAABBQ/NWgAquTXTe8/s1600-h/DSCI0010.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/Su2VvoRTx-I/AAAAAAAABBQ/NWgAquTXTe8/s320/DSCI0010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399136173783500770" /></a><br />"Trick-or-treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat. If you don't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underwear." This is what Costa wanted to say, but thankfully he just said "Trick-or-treat." It was raining, pouring at times. We had an umbrella, so it ended up being fine. The kids had about 80 pieces of candy each. Taeo would get to a house and just say, "Candy, candy, ..." It worked, he got candy.Cassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206433589241503521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812145080802797178.post-28243284028604942612009-10-25T12:24:00.001-07:002009-10-25T16:17:46.527-07:00Fall<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSwplqk9fI/AAAAAAAABBI/FwkCN5WbS7E/s1600-h/oct09+051.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSwplqk9fI/AAAAAAAABBI/FwkCN5WbS7E/s320/oct09+051.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396632482028516850" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSwpWvJWGI/AAAAAAAABBA/-e9SImVn0N4/s1600-h/oct09+023.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSwpWvJWGI/AAAAAAAABBA/-e9SImVn0N4/s320/oct09+023.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396632478021146722" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSwpCneFQI/AAAAAAAABA4/eoFtQ1fWZD4/s1600-h/oct09+033.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSwpCneFQI/AAAAAAAABA4/eoFtQ1fWZD4/s320/oct09+033.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396632472620242178" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSuhemLIqI/AAAAAAAABAw/wm6ExZshX8s/s1600-h/oct09+022.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSuhemLIqI/AAAAAAAABAw/wm6ExZshX8s/s320/oct09+022.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396630143668789922" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSuhEbxG3I/AAAAAAAABAo/nQ20ltqSqgU/s1600-h/oct09+021.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSuhEbxG3I/AAAAAAAABAo/nQ20ltqSqgU/s320/oct09+021.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396630136645819250" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSugwZiFfI/AAAAAAAABAg/qhNj2nbi0bY/s1600-h/oct09+018.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSugwZiFfI/AAAAAAAABAg/qhNj2nbi0bY/s320/oct09+018.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396630131267737074" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSugtXT2RI/AAAAAAAABAY/Np5sAhCVb40/s1600-h/oct09+015.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSugtXT2RI/AAAAAAAABAY/Np5sAhCVb40/s320/oct09+015.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396630130453109010" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSugQXYPGI/AAAAAAAABAQ/n5fTZKuPTE4/s1600-h/oct09+008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SuSugQXYPGI/AAAAAAAABAQ/n5fTZKuPTE4/s320/oct09+008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396630122668768354" /></a><br />We went pumpkin picking in the freezing cold and also did a little corn maze. Spent $19 for 2 pumpkins - not happy. I should have left without pumpkins. <br /><br /><br />Fall here is beautiful. Similar to NH but later in the year. The kids love playing in the leaves. We also have fun trying to catch falling leaves.<br /><br /><br />We carved our jack-o-lanterns. Taeo didn't like touching the goopy stuff, but he loved the final effect.

After his first day he said, "I was nervous about kindergarten, but it was actually fun!" He is doing really well and likes to report about the other kids not behaving. It's very important to him that he gets a green light everyday and a toy from the treasure box after a few green lights. He loves to ride the bus that picks him up at our house at 6:50am. He is willing to go to bed early so he can make sure the he gets on the bus. I'm hoping that he will continue to love going to school.Cassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206433589241503521noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812145080802797178.post-81360935579550064392009-07-20T17:50:00.001-07:002009-07-20T17:52:48.852-07:00Last Visit to Zoo<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SmURFIMUbOI/AAAAAAAAA9g/S63-Tc0I-oY/s1600-h/july09+067.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SmURFIMUbOI/AAAAAAAAA9g/S63-Tc0I-oY/s320/july09+067.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360709711250615522" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SmUREp94arI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/pk0NAXwRC-o/s1600-h/july09+065.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SmUREp94arI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/pk0NAXwRC-o/s320/july09+065.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360709703136996018" /></a><br />Our last visit to the zoo before we move. The giraffe was so close to us. Costas was able to touch a stingray. A highlight was seeing them feed mice to the gila monsters.

The present that he plays with the most is the Moon Sand. <br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVWnqM0VM4I/AAAAAAAAA48/NJ4FsndW_EM/s1600-h/DSC04538.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVWnqM0VM4I/AAAAAAAAA48/NJ4FsndW_EM/s320/DSC04538.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284314081226208130" /></a><br /><br />Actaeos isn't thrilled with Cookie Monster. <br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVWnpt-o4pI/AAAAAAAAA40/G-Ji2vA4Sy0/s1600-h/DSC04546.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVWnpt-o4pI/AAAAAAAAA40/G-Ji2vA4Sy0/s320/DSC04546.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284314072947942034" /></a><br /><br />Hanging out in the sports climber.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVWnoHSnzmI/AAAAAAAAA4s/9z6qC17Kjv4/s1600-h/DSC04552.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVWnoHSnzmI/AAAAAAAAA4s/9z6qC17Kjv4/s320/DSC04552.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284314045382905442" /></a><br /><br />Santa didn't bring Actaeos any candy, but he sure would like some.Cassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206433589241503521noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812145080802797178.post-46787265681539434052008-12-24T07:56:00.000-08:002008-12-24T08:24:08.575-08:00Go Tell It On The Mountain<OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-63893f5a4cbe1453 height=266 width=320 contentId="63893f5a4cbe1453"></OBJECT><br />Our church Christmas pageant.

We saw Santa at church and I'm pretty sure that Costas thought he was the real deal. Someone else took the picture and I'm disappointed in how it turned out, since Costas' eyes weren't open all the way. Actaeos was ready for a nap and not happy to be sitting with some strange guy.Cassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206433589241503521noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812145080802797178.post-18718493988920738062008-12-22T20:17:00.000-08:002008-12-22T20:20:21.033-08:00Chrismas Cookies<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVBmmTVoiyI/AAAAAAAAA4U/QRlwTbvwx-U/s1600-h/DSC04482.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVBmmTVoiyI/AAAAAAAAA4U/QRlwTbvwx-U/s320/DSC04482.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282835171117665058" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVBml6It-PI/AAAAAAAAA4M/r9JMjeBVnwQ/s1600-h/DSC04479.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVBml6It-PI/AAAAAAAAA4M/r9JMjeBVnwQ/s320/DSC04479.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282835164352608498" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVBmlrhgOqI/AAAAAAAAA4E/ToaGGpHw0kk/s1600-h/DSC04474.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jf1mFktS0LA/SVBmlrhgOqI/AAAAAAAAA4E/ToaGGpHw0kk/s320/DSC04474.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282835160430033570" /></a><br />We made 3 kinds of Christmas cookies this year: sugar cookies, Russian tea cakes, and Peanut Butter Cup cookies. Costas is a great baker and does all of the measuring and mixing with just a little help. We gave cookies to neighbors, the mail carrier, and the fire station. The fire station gave us a tour of the fire engine as a thank you as well as some hats for the kids.Cassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09206433589241503521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812145080802797178.post-57536475032982990892008-12-22T13:42:00.000-08:002008-12-22T14:07:30.357-08:00Christmas SongsHere's a song from the Christmas program that they do at school.
