At the beginning of the month Riley,Owen and I were able to go with Jocelyn on her preschool field trip to Thanksgiving Point farms. A fun time. They saw baby chicks, a baby cow, goats, horses, and a peacock among other farm animals. The highlight was the wagon ride and being able to feed the animals. They even got to milk a cow- a pretend cow with rubber utters!?! And they were also able to see how much they weighed compared to farm animals- I stayed away from the scale for fear I would rank up there with the horse and cow!
Jake had a mothers day program at school that I attended and was so happy to watch Jake and his classmates sing for all us moms. We also were served a small snack and Jake made me a cute paper flower arrangement. Ethan's class didn't do a program but he did make me some nice coupons(one day off, and dishes done). I have already put some to use. He also made me some cute flower pens that have been well used. Here's a picture Jocelyn took of us... the reason for my forehead being cut off and only having Rileys eye in picture.
Jocelyn did a great job at here dance performance on Saturday. She did 2 dances-Zip a de do da and a tinkerbell song. She was so cute and really has learned a lot especially how to shake her bum! Ben's a little worried. She loves to dance and listen to music Cheetah girls christmas and more recently my twilight cd (which she thinks is hers!). It's just cute to sneak peeks while hse's dancing in her room when she thinks no one is looking. I really hope she keeps dancing for a long time. I love to watch her dance. This is Jocelyn and her teacher Miss Brandi. She loves her teacher and dance friends.
Jake received and award for a hundred percent attendance and 5 dollars! Where was my 5 dollars when I was younger- I had a hundred percent for a few years in a row! What is it coming to these days! He was pretty excited and has put his money toward a bionicle game already. Way to go Jake!
Owen is now eight months and has had a couple of first- his first tooth- yeah! and his first otter pop. He's hooked and gets upset if the kids walk past eating an otter pop and don't share! He is just growing up so fast. He is also army crawling everywhere and follows me from room to room. Although he gets stuck in places and hasn't figured out how to back up- that will come, but for now he just screams until we rescue him.
Ethan has kept us busy also with soccer games and I was able to talk to his class on career day. They enjoyed the xays of the ring and necklace in an abdomen film, the missing pinky and a broken ankle. ( there were many other xrays I could've taken but lets just say explaining them to a bunch of 4th graders may not have been appropriate! although I did show them what gas looks like on a xray and they thought that was pretty funny-they have the best senses of humor). I love my job -most of the time and liked sharing it with his class.
So now we're down to the last 2 weeks of school and programs and dance festival and field day and ..... it just goes on. Ben has been really busy with scouts-camping and trek prep and in between it all we are trying to plant our garden and put the finishing touches of landscaping on the back yard- not easy to do in pieces here and there but its coming along. I at least got most of the garden planted- peas galore! yeah I can't wait.
