"What is a family? It is a perpetual relay of truth! Watch the children as you organize a relay race, a running contest in which two lines of children wait as one from each line runs a distance and returns to hand the flag to a team member. Back and forth they run and pass the flag. If one drops it, there is a forfeit of returning to the starting place. What excitement is generated, as those finished (or waiting for their turn) watch to see how soon the flag will come back, groan when it is dropped, cheer when someone falls and skins a knee and then pops up bravely to run on again. This is a relay race in which it matters whether one person gets there, because if the flag is not handed on, the next person can’t start on his or her part of the course."

Cute Halloween costume. Was the oil art in the pan just oil, sprite and water? I love all the art wrok you do. Looks like you had a fun week.
Thanks. It's a pretty neat costume that comes with a gadget close to the wrist that's sewn into the costume which he can press and then Tigger's voice is activated saying a number of things. :-)The oil art (marbling) is a mix of cooking oil, white spirit and paint. After the paint(s) is swirled around in there(I used a baking sheet), you'll have to gently lay your white paper over the surface of the mixture, making sure that the paper does not drown in it or the oil will be all over the paper, making a mess! :-) Yes, we do indeed have loads of fun. Can't stop ourselves. LOL!
