Today is October 6th...Unbelievably, Worth left 4 weeks ago and we still have not received our papers in order to apply for our visas...so we are playing the waiting game. This past weekend we spent a few days in North Louisiana at Tante Elaine's house and played tourists in Shreverport and Bossier. We did some shopping at the BoardWalk Shopping center and enjoyed the fountains. Also went through an Science museum where Emma and Alex were able to touch, feel, jump and spin through various science set ups. They enjoyed it a bunch and Elaine and I were just running back and forth between them calling us "Come see this, it's so cool!"
Last week, Alex went on a classfieldtrip to the New Orleans Aquarium, as the jumpstart to his unit of study. It was great that he had the chance to do this, on his last day at the Lab School, but he will not have a chance to do the unit of study on Ocean Ecosystems with his friends. 
This afternoon, although it's a little early in the month, we carved a Jack-o-Lantern in a pumpkin that Aunt Lindy brought back from South Dakota for the children. It was 91 degrees outside, with 85 % humidity and infested with mosquitoes...I guess a good preparation to Saudi, although the humidity and mosquitoes will not be there! On this note, I hope to write my next entry from Saudi!
