It's not a field trip unless....

Ally could NOT wait until her class got to go on a field trip. A couple weeks ago they walked to the local library to have their pictures made with Santa. I told her that was a field trip, but she was quick to inform me that it was NOT a field trip. It isn't a field trip UNLESS YOU RIDE A BUS! That is the requirement for my little kindergartner. haha The school was debating whether or not to bus the kids up the school campus to the auditorium or to have them walk. It was a brisk day, but in the 50s temp wise. At the very last moment, they decided to bus them and Ally was OVER the moon that she FINALLY got to ride a bus. It was the best day ever, she declared.

 I was outside with Ally and talking to the neighbor this afternoon.   I noticed that all the fruit was off of our fruit tree in the front yard.   Someone STOLE the fruit off the blasted thing.   I thought maybe the fruit had fallen off, but there was none on the ground.   How rude that someone thought it would be okay to take our fruit!   Unbelievable!!

The backseat has been rather quiet since school started!    I clean it out and it mostly stays clean now!   That is awesome!   It's awlfully quiet in the afternoons while waiting to pick the munchkinz up from school!    I do enjoy my quiet time, but sometimes it is a bit too quiet!

Sprinkles lays in the oddest ways.   She's like Jello when she sleeps!   She cracks me up and I'm on a mission to see how many different ways I can capture her sleeping!

Ian in his Bear Scout uniform! He was all proud that I got him the rest of the stuff and all his belt loops on his belt. He's got the fishing, bowling, basketball, BB gun, Archery, Map and Compass, and one other one I can't think of! We still need to get his bobcat and wolf patches put on the front of his uniform, too!

Ally found the Karaoke toy she got last year. You hook it up to the TV and it has a little camera on it. You can be a super star on the TV! She was singing her Days of the Week song and then she started reading her library book. I think she just liked hearing her voice amplified!

Today was finally Pancake day in Ally's class. They have been reading books by Eric Carle the last couple weeks. To finish up their study, they read Pancakes Pancakes! Ally was sooo excited for Pancake day that I thought she would bust before it happened! I volunteered to help out with Pancake day. I made the pancakes and the teacher helped the kids get their toppings. Once the pancakes were all cooked, I helped with the toppings, too. Ally had everything on her pancake. Blueberry jam, whipped cream, syrup, and a strawberry on the side. I have no idea why she didn't use her spork to eat the pakcake with, though. She just picked it up and dove in...no manners Ally!

Ian has a new addiction...The Legend of Zelda games. He loves them all! He just recently got Spirit Tracks and he plays every chance he gets. It's such a hard life when Mom and Dad limit your video game time...or so the 8 year old thinks!

We bought Bear some doggie treats and he thinks he's died and gone to heaven. Whenever anyone goes outside, he's begging for them. Ally always gives him at least 3 and she's got him spoiled! She loves giving him his treats!

Sprinkles is hilarious the way she just sprawls out where ever she lands. Thad's says that cats turn to liquid in their sleep or if they want to get somewhere they can't fit. I'm about to believe him with all the weird positions this cat sleeps in!

This is a first...Zoey and Sprinkles being this close together without World War 3 breaking out. It didn't last long as Sprinkles soon woke up and the war was back on!

Occassionally, Ally has homework. Today's assignment was to practice writing the alphabet. She loves to write and draw, so she cuoldn't wait to get started. Homework brings her one step closer to being just like Ian. She's catching on in Kindergarten very quickly and I'm quite proud of her!

Happy Birthday to me! Today is my 23rd birthday...woohoo! My Grandmother taught me well on this whole aging process. You flip your age around, so that you are always younger! This doesn't work well when you get into the higher digits of the decade, though. Then, you just have to say you are 29 all over again! :) I had a great birthday. I got money to buy scrapbook stuff and I got lots of ribbon to make some halloween projects I had an idea for. Pretty good birthday for being 23 again!

Ally has wanted some Sketcher Twinkle Toes FOREVER. They advertise them like crazy on TV and let's face it....she loves anything that sparkles and is blingy! So, Ashley was down visiting and needed to get her a new pair of tennis shoes. When you bought one pair of shoes, you got a second 1/2 off. Ally got lucky and got a pair of Twinkle Toes. She was on cloud 9!! She loves them and of course they light up on top of all the bling!!

Ally likes to "help" mix up the muffins when we have them for breakfast. I have found out the reason for her helpfulness! She wants to make sure she can lick the bowl. Evidently, it's good down to the last lick! She had her whole face in the bowl this morning trying to get down to the bottom of the bowl!
