The First Fire of the Season

Today we woke up to rain.  Yesterday we spent most of the day getting ready for the fall.  Cleaning out the garage, cleaning the house and battening down the hatches.  It is a real storm out there today, so after church when we got home Tom built us a fire.  It is nice and warm here at the Hay House.  The whole family loves sitting by the fire.  Hot chocolate anyone?  I love a nice fire to cozy up the house.

Dance Performances

Every year at this time our school hires a professional dancer to teach each class a dance to perform for the parents on a given night.  This is something that my children look forward to.  Macie performed her last dance at Parker Whitney and Matthew performed his first.  I love watching the little kindergarteners perform every year and this year I was so proud of my Kindergartener.  :)  Macie and Thomas had "in front" roles and did very well.  Julia's school participates in the dance performances in the spring.  This year since we had 3 performing we went to the dance shows on both nights.  Macie performed on the first night and then Thomas and Matthew performed on the second night.  Grandma and Pa even got to come and watch the dancing goodness.  Here are some great pictures of my ultra good dancers.  :)
