Equestrian Match


We went to an equestrian match and had lots of fun.  Even Charlie got to ride a horse...with a little help from Mom, of course.

Alli's Preschool

Excerpts from Alli telling us about her day:

Today Bobby sneezed on me.  He MEANT to and he didn't say sorry, and when I told the teacher they talked to him and told him to say sorry and he said sorry, but then when they left I said real quiet to myself, (here she kinda rolls her eyes and sounds very exasperated) "He'll do it again". 

The next day:
Whit threw a rock and hit me in the head. Almost in my EYE!  He accidentally hit me, but he didn't accidentally throw it and he's not supposed to throw rocks. 

Another day on the playground:
The little kids were running to fast down the hill and I told them they shouldn't run so fast.  Then there was one who was in front of the swing and was about to get hit and the teachers weren't looking so I went and told her to watch out or she would get hit by the swing.  She was little so she didn't know better and I told her so now she does, I saved her.

Butterfly research

Laura's class got caterpillars yesterday. Her's is named spikes and she thinks it's a girl and she loves her very much. So last night she grabbed all the books in our library that had info on caterpillars and she and Alli spent their lights on time researching butterflies. Here are some of the results:

The only trouble is I have a really hard time telling them they have to turn their lights out and go to sleep when they are sitting there happily looking through books and writing their findings.
