Tom Sawyer

Heathen #3 as Tom Sawyer

Once again this year, our elementary school had "Storybook Character Day" in celebration of Dr. Suess's birthday.  This is something my Heathens have always enjoyed.

The trouble is that costumes for little heathens are a bit harder than for little girls.  Lots of stories have princesses in them - and most little girls own dress up clothes.  Thinking of a male storybook character that has a fun costume is a little harder.  I managed to talk him into Tom Sawyer and then I headed to the thrift store for the pieces I needed.  Managed the entire ensemble for less than $8 and he was thrilled with the results!

Fun in the Snow

The Zoo in Winter.

The snow is so FLUFFY!

  We just had the most beautiful snow fall here this weekend.  The Zoo looks magical when this happens.  It is one of those times where I know we made the right choice in relocating the Zoo here about 18 months ago.

It was also a perfect weekend for snow tubing!  The church youth group headed to Seven Springs for a few hours of time on the tubing hill.  The Heathens had a fabulous time.  This is definitely one of their favorite snow-activities!
