Fall Break

Here is the photo that should have been on that post from last week. :-) She was nearly as giddy today as she was last Thursday.

Emily had her doing some standing up in the saddle today, I will be surprised if her legs don't ache tomorrow! It looked difficult.
Alex spent a good 2 hours today playing Paleontologist, I found this excavation kit @ Christmas Tree Shop a LONG time ago, and it has just kicked around and around. Today, he really wanted to do it.
The kit came with these wonderful protective goggles :-) He was sure to keep them on as he chiseled his way through the plaster to his prize. I was amazed at how long it took him and how much of a mess it made. He cleaned it up tho, well mostly. :-)
Alex had earned a "privilege" and chose to go w/ dad skating. Not the easiest of tasks, seeing as how there are no ice rinks here in town. Off to Nashville they went. They had a great time and apparently Alex went around 4.5 times w/o falling. Yeah!!!
And Lastly... poor little Katie, we're just messing her little schedule up. This was a dinner today. She stayed up late with the kids last night, was up at her normal time this morning, and was clumsy and getting hurt all day. Come dinner time, there was no eating. Brent put her to bed. She was asleep by 7 or so. Yeah, at 11:45, she was back up... ready to go to Jump Zone. (she actually asked me if we could go right now!) Crazy girl. She suggested that we could just go in our Jammies. LOL! Poor girl.
