Fieldtrip!

I know some people don't like to go on preschool fieldtrips, but I love it! This month we went to Black Island Farms and as always the kids have a blast. We went on the hayride and picked out pumpkins, and had a picnic, watched pig races, went on the slides, bounced in the pumpkin bounce house, rode the piggy train, and played in the corn box. I had a fun time spending the afternoon with the kids at the pumpkin patch. My kids had been counting down the days to go for two weeks. Another fun thing about fieldtrips is you get to meet the other kids in their class, and also their parents. I always hear about Luke and Kiera and we met their family and they are very nice. We will have to meet up at the park someday soon.

Another blessing for the Greens

We are so lucky to have three beautiful children. This past Sunday Aspen Erika was blessed. She is such a good and beautiful baby!

Green family outing

My mother in law planned a green family outting where she took all of the family to the Hogal Zoo. I knew it would be fun, but I didn't realize that it would be really fun, actually. It was fun to see all of the cousins run around with each other and run from animal to animal...and in some cases chasing animals. That poor peacock. We had a picnic lunch together, and the day was perfect. It was overcast but not rainy...I think we should make it an annual thing!

Trampoline Park

Our friends invited us to the trampoline park, and I thought it would be mostly for the kids. I was way wrong. Yes, it accomodated kids quite well, but it also was a ton of fun for the adults. I wish I had taken my camera. The floors were made out of trampolines, and they had tramps where you could jump off into a pool of foam stuff. Kevin did his first backflip there, and I finally got the courage to do a back handspring. I haven't done one of those in 15 years. Now I am a little sore...dang I am getting old.

Fits

This is what happens when you throw a fit and try to sit on the side of the tub really hard with anger to prove a point. (not me, the kids)

you fall in, hit your head on the side of the tub and break the shower curtain. I think the lesson was taught on its own without my help.

Field Trip!

Austin and Mercedes' preschool had their first preschool field trip a couple of weeks ago. They go on one a month, but this time we went to the firestation and the police station. We learned about stop drop and roll, we learned about 911, and many other things. They were able to climb in the ambulence and see in the cop car and the fire truck. My kids had a good time, and I loved to be there with them.
