Many smiling faces

There were many smiling faces when I made the announcement that Mrs. Campbell is coming back to Lakewood to do another Art Lesson. This time the children drew gumball machines.

Lydia's drawing from the first art lesson at school.

Sarah's drawing from the first art lesson at school.

We quickly put up the great little arts work.

Porter was such a trooper! Being so good through the whole 6 hours that we spent at school.

It was Cinco De Mayo Day, so after the art lesson lunch and a pinata was provided for the children.

I was in hysterics when I saw this pinata! Just think about this for a moment..... We are going to give a bat to the children and have them BEAT this poor Mexican girl so
so we can rob her of all her candy. What message are we sending?

After lunch we are off to McKenzie's class.

The finished project!

The Lakewood Talent Show

McKenzie and her BBF Piper sang in the Lakewood Talent Show, My favorite things-The Sound of Music. They performed in front of the whole school- and were fabulous!

Staying after school and working hard for weeks, McKenzie's 3rd grade class performed a Hawaiian dance.

Everything came together beautifully!

Twinism

On the way to school Friday, Lydia and Sarah brought up getting their ears pierced. I told the girls that Dad and I haven't talked about when, it will either be 11 or 12 yrs old.

Lydia said, "I have 6-7 years until I get my ears pierced."

Sarah said, " Well, maybe if my kid is bad she may not get her ears pierced until she is 13 years old. I may raise her like that!"

Sarahism

Sarah woke up Friday morning, came into my room and asked, "Are we Whitees, Mommy ?"

It took me a minute and I said," What?"

She responded by saying, " I mean are we White?"

I said," Yes we are sweetie."

Where does she come up with this stuff?

Kindergarten Daily News

Mrs Moffett's Kindergarten Class

puts out a Daily News letter and Lydia and Sarah were picked and asked what they wanted to say.

On Tuesday Lydia said, "I am going to go to Canada on a vacation with my family."

On Thursday Sarah said, "I cant wait until we borrow a motor home."

We are planning on going to Canada next year in March in a motor home. We discuss our plans each Monday night at the end of Family Home Evening. The kids cant wait.

Trade Shows

My hard working honey has been working weekends at different trade shows.

This weekend he is in Salinas. Two weekends ago he was in Santa Cruz.

Good Look'in Booth

Any bets on what brand the window is, it may surprise you to know.....

Peek-a-boo,

I see you, sweetie!

Just with Mommy

I decided to surprise my children today and take them to Phillip Farms for some quality time.
We went early enough to enjoy all the animals and had a lovely picnic lunch taking in the suns rays.

This chicken that Sarah is feeding was the only one out and they had a fun time chasing it around the yard. I mean they chased it so much that tonight she will ask to be put into the cage!

We couldn't of timed it better, all the baby goats we out roaming around free.

Who did your hair?

It ended up being just a great day!
