Leopard, Horses & Goats....Oh My

Kayla, Granny and of course leopard feeding the minature horses.

Kayla liked the baby horse a lot

Kyle taking his turn at feeding the horses

The neighbors that live next to my mom have these animals. They have 3 minature horses, three goats and two large horses and a baby colt. They were away for Thanksgiving so we were able to feed the animals when we went to Grannys for Thanksgiving. The kids had a lot of fun feeding them.

Alphabet Feast

Today in Kayla's Kindergarten Class we had the famous Alphabet Feast. They have a food item that represent a letter of the alphabet. It is quite a feast in deed. Like a for Apple, B for Bagels, C for cheese, D for Dorito's and so on all the way to z for Zebra Cakes. There is always way more food than any class could possibly eat. They have a lot of fun though getting to try all these food items. They had made turkey hats to wear at the feast. They were all very cute.

We hope you all have a wonderful Turkey Day. WE will be at my mother's just for the day and then back home.

Our First Boy Scout

Kyle is doing so well in Scouting. He is loving every minute of it. We were afraid that that camping may be a bit scary for him, but Robert went on his 1st campout and then he's gone by himself the rest of the time. He has a blast and love being the troop leader. This is us at the Court of Honor where Kyle received his Tenderfoot, and his Second Class badge. Way to go Kyle. We're so proud of you.

Missing Tooth

I forgot to blog about Kayla's 1st Tooth that she lost. We were waiting ever so patiently for it to be ready to be pulled out, but a pizza dinner did the trick for us. Robert and I neither one like to pull teeth, so it finally became so loose that while she was eating pizza one night....POP! out it came.

A New Job

Okay, sometimes I think that I don't live a very interesting life. Maybe i'm just not that great at blogging about what's going on daily or even weekly. About a week and a half ago I was taking something to Kyle at school and happened to walk through the office at what appears to be the right time. They asked me if I would be interested in a substitute aide posititon that would be temporary for the next 6 weeks, until Christmas break. I wasn't sure. I came home and thought about it and the Principal of the school called to talk to me. He said it was a 6 hour position working one on one with a boy in the 4th grade. He is mildly handicapped and just needs assitance modifying his work. I told him I wasn't interested in working all day and he said that I could pick my hours that I was willing to work. So I will start my "new job" tomorrow working from 9:00 - 12:00 Monday thru Friday. I only work with the boy for 1 hour and the rest of the time is just doing what they need done in the office. I think it will work out great. The aide I'm substituting for is on maternity leave until after Christmas Break. I went in and "shadowed" her all last week to see what it was like. The boy is supper sweet. He is just so kind and great to work with. I think it will be a lot of fun. So my days are gearing up for a change. I will also be able to see both Kayla and Nathan in the lunchroom and at recess because I will be on lunch and recess duty. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and finally being one on one with Jake....that's his name.
