old fashion fun - ROLLER SKATING

OUR COUNTY LIBRARY HELD A ROLLER SKATING FUNDRAISER OVER THANKSGIVING WEEKEND & GOOD TIMES WERE HAD BY ALL. KC HAD FUN WITH ALL HER FRIENDS FROM START TO FINISH & TIED FOR FIRST PLACE IN THE LIMBO CONTEST FOR HER AGE GROUP. THE BOYS HAD A SLOW START BUT HAD LOTS OF FUN ONCE SOME OF THEIR FRIENDS SHOWED UP. BEE HAD A BLAST! FOR THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OR SO ONE OF US WENT AROUND WITH HER & SHE THOUGHT FALLING WAS THE MOST FUN. THEN SHE WANTED TO DO IT HERSELF & SHE DID AWESOME! BEE WENT AROUND IN CIRCLES BY HERSELF FOR 2 HOURS. IF SHE FELL, ONE OF THE OTHER KIDS WOULD PICK HER UP OFF THE FLOOR & THEY WOULD ALL TAKE OFF AGAIN. HER SIBLINGS DID A GREAT JOB OF LOOKING OUT FOR HER. BY THE END OF THE DAY SHE HAD NOT ONLY LEARNED TO SKATE BY HERSELF, BUT SHE ALSO LEARNED TO PICK HERSELF UP TOO. EVERYONE WAS PRETTY TIRED AFTER 3 HOURS OF SKATING FUN.

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND TRIP TO THE CAPITOL

THE KIDS HAD ALOT OF FUN FEEDING THE GEESE AT THE CAPITOL POND. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME BEE GOT TO GET IN THE ON THE FUN, & SHE HAD A BLAST.

BEFORE WE WENT TO THE POND WE TOURED THE TREES IN THE CAPITOL & THE LIGHTS ARE JUST AWESOME. NONE OF MY PICTURES INSIDE DO THE TREES ANY JUSTICE, YOU SHOULD REALLY GO SEE FOR YOURSELVES. AFTER A COUPLE HOURS WITH THE TREES & GEESE WE SURPRISED THE KIDS BY TAKING THEM TO THE MOVIE "NEW MOON" IT WAS A GREAT DAY!

PRETTY NAUGHTY

OK, I LEFT BEE WATCHING A MOVIE IN MY ROOM & I GO DOWNSTAIRS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES & WHEN I COME BACK TO CHECK ON HER THIS IS WHAT I FOUND. OF COURSE I GASPED & SAID "WHAT DID YOU DO?" HER RESPONSE WAS "I NOT HIDING ANYTHING!" AS IF THE BLACK FACE WASN'T A DEAD GIVE AWAY, SHE IS HIDING SOMETHING UNDER THE COVERS. WHAT COULD IT BE? MAYBE MASCARA! SHE SAID "MOM, I PRETTY" & I SAY "PRETTY NAUGHTY!" I ASKED HER WHAT SHE THOUGHT DAD WOULD SAY & SHE SAID "DADDY WILL LAUGH!" GUESS WHAT HE DID & SO DID THE REST OF US. BUT SHE KNOWS NOT TO DO IT AGAIN BECAUSE SHE COULD HURT HER EYES.
