what a good day

If you take away the fact the we all had to get up earlier this morning and that at least 4 of us didn't get breakfast......then today has been a great day. Today was the Kindergarten Field Trip to the FSU Farm, Jim, Isaac and I all went along. Jim and I have both gone to the farm with various kids and even though there's no rides or kettle corn, it's still kinda fun to see the farm animals. The smell was only unbearable near the dairy cows, a combination of sulfur, perm solution and old men toots. One of the little girls in our group announced for all to hear, "Eeww! It smells like my daddy's farts!" It was hard not to laugh. I brought my camera along, thinking I would get some great pictures of Naissa and Isaac petting some horses and sheep. Only thing, they weren't interested in getting close to the animals, let alone petting them. So I have this picture below, of Naissa up on the fence.....funny thing is there are no animals on the other side, just a tractor! lol!

Isaac had fun! He had the girls holding his hands and dad giving him a ride on his shoulders and he got to have snacks with all the Kindergartners. Good Times.
Afterwards...we ate lunch, Naissa and Isaac watched the Brady Bunch, Jim did some things for work, Jade and Zack came home, my parents brought me a Shamrock Shake, Zack went to Tae Kwon Do and I took a nap! Unfortunately by me taking a nap, it allowed Naissa and Isaac time and freedom to dump two huge tubs of toys, scatter the clean and once folded laundry across the room as well as 8 boxes of raisins and little dried fruit all over everything in the room!

Tonight was also Open House for Kindergarten. My dad came and walked to the school with us and Jim's dad met us at the school. Both grandma's were sick and not feeling well. The room was decked out in colorful pictures and things the kids had made. Naissa gave us the tour, read a couple books to us and showed us all the things she had made. She spent some time giggling with her friends too. It is so nice to have a backyard. For the past 4 years our backyard was a 5 x 55 foot dirt yard that we put fake grass over so the kids could "play" back there without bringing in the dirt constantly. We basically stored our sandbox, slide and bikes back there. Our "front" yard was basically dirt, pine trees and the alley where we parked our cars. So I am so happy to have GRASS!!! Isaac would play outside all day long if I let him. Yesterday he practiced with his nun chucks. He kept asking me, "Which one is faster mom?" Uh....that one? He's such a cute ninja!
