Kindergarten Fun

Last Tuesday, I had the opportunity to go to the zoo with Libbi's class on their field trip. Of course, it was cold and snowy and all the animals were inside, but it was fun to go hang out with a bunch of Kindergarten kids. Here are some fun pictures of the kids:

Notice how much it's snowing?!?!

First ride on the bus. She said it was the best part and she was most excited about that part of the field trip.

Renewed Effort

I'm thinking I should renew my effort to blog more often. Maybe mostly for my own selfish reasons, but I've done some serious lacking on the updating. So here is the dirt on what's been going on lately.

Libbi hates school. Mostly I think she hates going to daycare and then to school and back to daycare all day. Once she is at school, everything is great. I've volunteered a couple of times in her class room and I know that she does great once she's there. She's currently on spring break and that means mom is attempting to de-junk the house. So far the thought is proving to be more productive than the actual doing. We did manage to get two full bags of toys for the di in yesterday's efforts.

Kyle was promoted to a full time tech at Burt Brother's. He's learning a lot and loving it. He's currently super excited for our annual Easter weekend sand dunes trip. He's also been building a custom 3 wheeler. It's not going to be able to go this trip, but soon.

As for me, not much going on. I went to working 4 - 10 hour days in January so I could be off on Friday's to help out at Libbi's school and so that she wasn't at daycare so long on those days. So far, it's been awesome. We've gotten to spend some awesome quality time together and had some fun with Jen and her girls. Friday's make working long days the rest of the week totally worth it.

That's about all the fun that's been going on in our lives. Just work and school. What's going on in your lives?

Thought for the Day Part 2

Today's thought:

"If it Matter's to a Child,
Then It's Important!"

Sometimes, as the Mom, I forget that when Libbi asks me to do things or wants my attention, that I should be giving her my full and undivided attention. Because whatever it is, it matter's to her. Besides, when she grows up, I want her to know that I will always be there to listen and care.


Besides, who could resist giving this kid almost everything she asks for?

Thought for the Day

I saw this on an email I got, but I wanted to remember it, because I like it:

"I believe

That Sometimes when I'm angry, I have the right to be angry,

But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel."

A Fairy Tale Story

Once upon a time there was a girl named Jessica, she used to blog all the time. Now she sucks at it. Sorry, facebook is much easier and requires less words and complete thoughts. Besides, I think since I took a leave of absence from this time sucking world, people have stopped reading. That's the end....

Yay!

Now that we have internet at home, I'll try to catch up on our lives! But not today, today we are going to have birthday fun!

New Adventure

Kindergarten started this week!


(Details to follow when I wrap my head around it!)

Explination for me

I know the things below are repeats of what's listed on the side bar. But let's be honest, the side bar is getting a little crowded and I'm terrified that I won't get to print the side bar if I ever print my blog into a book and I wanted to make sure they were preserved for good.

I know it's been forever since we updated and there are lots of things that we need to talk about. Crazy work, Libbi turning 5, Kyle turning an age younger than me, Snowbird, Widowmaker.....the list goes on. One day soon I'll have the energy and ambition to do mass amounts of updates (again, mostly for me.)

Oh yeah.....is anybody reading this?

4-Year Old Say Random Things

Things Libbi said when she was 4:

1. "Don't worry Mom, I got this!"


2. "I tried so hard to not make you yell at me today!" (Under her breath as she went to clean up her toys off my bed, I wasn't yelling.)


3. Lecture from the 4 year old, it went like this: Me: "Who picked you up from daycare?" Libbi: "Grandpa did. Apparently you forgot to pick me up and now I don't have my backpack."


4. "Mom, on our next stay home day, we are going to see Grandma Venita!" J: "Why are we going to see Grandma Venita?" L: "Because I haven't been to her house in a long time and we need to go!"


5. "Dad, we can't get up yet, it's still dark outside." Christmas 2009, 7:30 am


6. The day before Christmas is Stupid!

10. "Look at this Selection of things!"


11. "Mom, let's go trailing again!"


12. "Mom, when grapes fall on the floor, you have to take them outside to the ants. Because ants like grape juice and that's what you do with grapes."

17. "I can't go upstairs by myself, Kenzi's Goggle Head will come a live and Eat me!"


18. "Mom, have you seen the goggle head that Kenzi got for her birthday!?! It's transformers and it goes goggle, goggle. That's why it's a goggle head."
