The Result of a 3 Year Old's Addiction!

Oh, I never thought my kids would do this. Stickers were all over the car doors (both sides).

Avery's First Field Trip

I'm a little late posting but better late than never.

Last Wednesday was Avery's first field trip and they went to the pumpkin patch. Although she has been before with her brother's class this was her first time with her 3 year old class. It was too cute watching her be around all her friends and seeing the way that play and talk to each other. They were such girls!!! She is always talking about her two friends Laya and Brelyn and I never knew what they looked like until this day. She just rants and raves about them ALL THE TIME!!

Our Camping Trip

You know, sometimes coming back to reality is just not fun!!! We had an awesome time camping this past weekend. We could not have asked for better weather and a better camping spot. I was under the impression that it was going to be HOT over the weekend but it turned out to be cloudy and breezy which made the weather perfect.

The kids had a blast. They got to ride their bikes, paint pumpkins, go fishing, play on the "beach" area, go to the playground (I guess you could call it that). We even went and looked at the deer and pet them . . . shhh! I wish we didn't have to leave and come back to the real world. Why do we have to work and go to school??? I told Bryan we could sell the house, live in the camper and I could homeschool the kids (then we would have lots of 1/2 days or holidays).

Click on the collage so you can enlarge the pictures. There are so many pictures I want to share that I will have to put them in a collage.

Let's keep count - #1

Alright, we looovvveee going to the fair. Even though the economy is rough we will go to the fair many times. We might not have any money the rest of the week to eat on but we will go and have a great time. Yesterday I picked the kids up from school and took them. It was nice. There were hardly any people there.

We will be going again tonight and unfortunately it will probably be crowded. Oh well, I guess that is part of the fun!

Well's Festival

I'm a little late posting since we did this last weekend. But anyway, Bryan and I took the kids to the Well's Festival saturday and had a great time after a tortorous soccer game swatting away what seemed to be a gazillion nats. Those suckers were everywhere - even in my purse. The kids got to play (cheezy) games and win (cheezy) prizes, face paint and do the pony / horse ride. It was a beautiful day outside and it made it even more beautiful getting to spend that time with my family.

While we were there I ran into a couple of highschool friends that I hadn't seen in a long time (since highschool). Of course, they looked the same as they did in highschool. I sure hope people think the same about me when they see me. Gee, I wonder? Anyway, the festival had a mickey mouse come and walk around . . . a very short mickey mouse. I thought to myself. This is gonna be a test as to how the kids will react towards the characters when we go to Disney World. As to my surprise they did great! I hope Avery does that well when it's time to visit Santa.

I think he is catching on!

Tonight Brayden had a soccer game and it started off as one of our typical games. But something happened. Brayden scored!!! Let me just say, I believe the light came on after he scored. I think he finally figured it out. Or maybe it was the jersey. Tonight is the first time we have gotten to wear the them. Brayden says it was the red flames on the shoulders that made him "on fire"! He got more aggressive and wanted to get the ball more. Bryan thinks he scored two times but I really think it was another kid.

Anyway, it was a good game!!! Congratulations Brayden!!!

Sparkley Jeans

Avery's not one to just put on jeans and be comfortable. She's a little round in some areas if you know what I mean. The one pair she had last year she wore once because she didn't like them. Well this year is a little different. These are sparkley. Oh, she was so excited about these that she didn't care how hot it was wednesday at school, she wanted to wear them. She was decked out with the sparkley jeans, silver shoes, silver sequin belt and her new t-shirt with the silver ladybug. Boy, she thought she was something!!!
