Allen Family

I had the pleasure to take some more family pictures for a friend of mine. You may recognize little Kaia from play school pictures... It was an overcast day, perfect except for the high humidity and all the little curler curls had fallen out. Either way, I am getting more experience and feel I am getting the hang of it. I really do love having opportunities to better myself at this art...no where near great, but better for a beginner.
This was taken in downtown Newnan, by the old train depot. I love the older parts of town.

Riding The Train

Day after Thanksgiving is our family day...not spent fighting people for crazy deals. Because it was too rainy and cold for hiking, we wanted to find something to do that the kids would enjoy for the smallest amount out of our pockets. With Ammon's fascination for trains, we decided to go up to College Park and ride the MARTA train to Atlanta for lunch. Call us crazy, but the kids absolutely loved it and would do it again!

Waiting for the train

Looking a bit unsure...but they really were pretty excited.

CNN center for lunch. Where's Ammon? He would be on the floor at our feet..."I don't want to!"

Turkey Day 2010

For Thanksgiving we had the pleasure to visit with cousins in Dawsonville. We absolutely love going up and spending the day with such great people, the Mulberry's. Thank you thank you for a wonderful day. So much to be Thankful for!

Playing Rook (a cut throat game in this household)...I feel I can hold my own! Plenty for the kids to do!

Family is always the place to be!

Newnan Co-Op

Today I tried the Newnan Co-Op group and "trained" how to be a 'driver'. (Can you imagine me as a big rig driver---no it's nothing like that) I tried this group of ladies before, but wasn't satisfied with the outcome of produce. Well, I'm sure over the years some have come and gone, so to be cost efficient and have fresh produce, I thought I would try again. Well, as you can see, today was very successful for the price. My turn to drive/order comes up only quarterly so I felt it was worth it. I hope I will be wise in my orders and I don't get lost in Atlanta...nah, it should be fine, but I'm the newbie, so I hope I don't mess anything up.

HP7

Yep, we are one of those millions that went to see the movie. Rian has swiftly made her way through the series and we had to see the movie. Jarom also wanted to join the group and just started the series. Either way, out of their own pockets we went to see the ever so popular movie. It's fun to spend time and learn together.

During our adventure, Trent took the kids to the Castle Park for several hours...apparently they were all in need of a good run around!

Under $25

With Christmas on it's way, not to ignore Thanksgiving, I have to think about all the "little things" involved to prepare for... 4 teachers to give simple gifts, VTers, family and of course a few friends. Well to satisfy majority of that I was able to print off a coupon to get $10 off at Bath and Body Works. At the same time they are having buy 3 get 3 free! So for under $25 I was able to accomplish a lot. Just had to share. Being cheap isn't always a bad thing. They have the best lotions!

Roughing It

The weather has been so nice, the kids have been, "camping" around the backyard. Jarom had gathered so many sticks he built a hut or whatever it is... He loves it. The kids like to get pine straw and rocks and sticks and build a pretend camp fire. I love it, because they play together for hours!

Play School

For Play School this week I had the kids and needed to introduce the letter 'T'. We built Towers for fun...and I couldn't resist taking pictures, because for one, Gideon is very precise in his building techniques and very focused. Also, all the kids were working very hard on their creations, and it was so fascinating to watch.

Kaia

Kaia--she was in the perfect lighting... so I may have gotten a few more of her then the others...
