Conferences!!

Yeah Leslie!! Once again we had great conferences! She is in the highest guided reading level! Only 5 other students in the whole second grade are and I am sooo proud of her! She is in the higher paced math group again and exceeding expectations from the teacher. She is also very respectful and a fun kid to have in class.

Squirrels!

The squirrels have been having a lot of fun eating apart our pumpkins! I watched one of the squirrels actually take one of the mini-pumpkins up the tree and chew it up. I also saw the naughty squirrel that gutted our large pumpkin! The pumpkin had a spider head, but it obviously fell off. I love squirrels though so I will not complain too much!

The wooden object is a big wooden swing set with a slide that was given to us by some friends. Their children do not play with it anymore. Now all we have to do is put it back together! Danica likes to run under it for now.

Leslie's sister came over for a visit and brought her little baby Angel. Danica decided to help feed her supper.

CONGRATULATIONS!

A BIG congratulation to Mom and Sharon for finally figuring out how to click the play button on the videos! Woot! Woot!!

Play Time

Fun Sunday

One Sunday afternoon, my friend Paula, along with her daughter Leah, invited us to go to Nebraska City with them to the National Arbor Day Farm. There were a lot of activities going on that weekend. The girls had a pony ride, and Leslie made a rope and got to see how cider is pressed. When we left, we went a few miles up the road to Kimmell Orchard. We got to take a long hay rack ride (with a very chatty driver!) through the orchard to pick apples. Danica LOVED that! We bought some cider and spiced apple doughnuts. YUM!

Family Fun

Just some fun pics of the kids. One week we received so much rain and Danica would stand at the door with her shoes crying "Play outside mom!" I felt so bad for her. I ended up putting Leslie's tent in the living room so she could have some fun with that. Nephi enjoyed taking naps.
