Field Trip Week

Last week was SUPER crazy. Tate had her field trip to the Oil Ranch on Thursday and Jake had his to Bear Creek Park on Friday! I asked my mom Thursday morning if she enjoyed going on all those field trips back in the day. I remember being so excited and even more excited because my mom was with me. I never even thought how she felt about them and assumed she was as excited as me. Now...being the home room mommy and getting to ride the bus to and fro I had a TOTALLY different perspective. Tate was so excited I was going with her...I on the other hand felt no excitement becuase I was going to be missing "Kristi-time" during Caden's nap. Ok~ I am selfish what can I say!

When I asked my mom this is what she had to say "tale three advil before you leave and three immediatley apon your return". I was cracking up becuase she LOATHED these things and here all this time I thought she loved them. Who knew. So, I faked it like my mom and prayed Tate would look back and think how much mommy loved going on her field trips with her (of course until she has her own kids and gets a real dose of reality).

Anyway it was a fun time. The weather held out but was breezy and overcast. The kids milked cows, went on a train ride and tractor ride where they fed the cows and then ran and played and ate snow cones!

Jake and I had an awesome time on his field trip as well. We ran and caught caterpillars (he loves bugs). He had made a kite we ran around and swang and had a picnic! It was such a sweet time for him!

Other than that uneventful weeked. Micahel was gone from Thrusday to Sunday on his yearly guy-golfing weekend. Tate had a b-day party saturday and a fun slepover with Brooke Bear at Aunt Cyn's house. She had a blast and Aunt Cyn is super cool b/c they stayed up until 10PM. Then they had PJ day at their church and a fun picnic! So...thanks Aunt Cyn and Uncle Jason!!

So...daddy is back and we are a happy house!
