Ben's Chrristmas performance

The lost tooth

Yesterday, Ben lost another tooth. This is the first time he has ofically lost one on his own. He was at school playing football and some of the other boys crashed into him and he lost it. Since it fell in the grass, he had to look real hard for it. But, he managed to get it home and the toothfairy gave him $2 for it. Boy was he happy.

4-H

This year the kids were in the K-3 4-H program again. It is for kids who are not yet old enough to sign up for 4-H. The program gives them an overview of different projects that they will be able to be in. This year I was asked to sign up as a leader, so I did. I am in the middle of my online training and will be attending a couple of workshops next year. I am happy that my kids want to be involved, 4-H tought me so much and was great fun. I hope that my children will enjoy every minute of it.

Riding lesson

A couple weeks ago, I gave the kids their first riding lesson. This was so exciting for me. We were able to use our friends horse, old Bob. Ben took to it like a duck to water, I was very suprised and proud. He rode all by himself and was able to do quite a few things without any trouble. Didn't hesitate even once, it was great. Laney was a little scared to ride by herself, so I rode with her. She had lots of fun. They can't wait to go back!

Halloween

This year the kids had lots of fun. Ben was an Army Sniper and Laney was a princess again. We didn't do much trick or treating, but we did go to a carnival in town. The kids played games and got lots of candy. They also had a good time carving pumpkins. Since they are still a little small to use the knives to carve their pumpkins, they drew the face that they wanted on the pumpkin and we cut it out for them. I think that they turned out great.

Best friends

Laney and her best friend Sami. They met last year, their brothers are friends as well. The girls go to school together this year. They love to play together and spend as much time as possible dressing up and putting on make-up. Such fun!
