Eli had a report to do on a mammal, the rat. Along with the written report, he had to do a survey, a detailed diagram, a mask, as seen in the picture and an oral report. It was a lot of work, but he did it, with a lot of urging from Mom and Dad. Other kids just read the report, but we made him do a really good presentation because that is what we thought would be required. He did an amazing job by actively getting the kids involved by asking several questions.
Another funny Eli story. He said that his ankle on his hand hurt. I responded, you mean your wrist? He responded, yeah.
Happy Halloween from the Koyle Family! Eli was a ninja, Morgan was a lamb, Riley was a Pink Power Ranger, at least for the Koyle Halloween party. Riley changed her mind for trick or treating and wanted to be Elsa (I wanted her to be Elsa the whole time because as a power ranger, she wanted to fight). 
Happy Birthday Riley! She had a princess birthday party. We played all sorts of games, like pin the tail on the pony, scavenger hunt with princess figurines, photoshoot with a princess (Rachelle Koyle), a pinata, princess cup cakes, punch and ice cream. I invited about 12 girls with the crown invitations and we had about 5 come, perfect for crowd control.
