Yesterday night, we invited Rebecca and her husband Paul to dinner along with there kids. Paul just recently arrived home from 7 months in Afghanistan. We had a delicious dinner then a fun evening talking. Little Ethan has warmed up to me and the two little girls are sweethearts! We all played hide and go seek. An assignment given to me to help them quiet down... It didn't work. Little Megan makes it a challenge by hiding in tiny corners, but then gets bored and yells, "I'm in the closet!" or "Don't look under the bed!" By eight, they were exhausted and had to leave but didn't want to. We are planning to get together again this Thursday for a walk.

Megan (4) and Emily (6)A few nights ago, as we were all going to sleep, tons of fireworks began going off. They were gorgeous to watch, but none of us had any ideas why they were bing set. I asked my friends about it at youth group, and they explained Guy Fawkes Day. Guy Fawkes was a man who tried to blow up the House of Lords with 36 barrells of gunpowder since the people were under persecution. However, he was caught, tortured and executed. So, every 5th of November, all the Brits have bonfires and make effigys of Guy Fawkes that the young boys use to collect pennys. Once down... they burn him :)
