Sorry I haven't posted in a while all (mom)! What a crazy week!
Saturday the 3 of us went on a Girl Scout outting to Daughtery's Orchard. We had never been there. It was very nice. They have a nice petting zoo there and an orchard where you can go pick your own apples. Neat experience for this city girl! After we finished there we went to a nice candle place down the road. We have always driven by it but never stopped. They had lots of wonderful scents and some unusal gift ideas. The building inside was beautiful! Gene must have been inspired because when we got home he made some candles! Here is Lynzi with her friend Trista. They are the only two Kindergarteners in the troop. They also have the same backpack. For WEEKS that is what I would hear Trista say everyday!
Here Lynzi is feeding a deer an ice cream cone.
Here is the girls who went. This is only like a 3rd of the whole troop!
The beautiful Candle shop.
Lynzi posting by the giant candle. You can go in the candle part of the shop and look up at the "flame".
Sunday was church and we had a wonderful concert. Then that evening we had Awana as usual and Lynzi got to take a friend from ballet. It is funny how kids act. She would not sit by Lynzi and told me, "She is following me and it is annoying." Hello! She is your friend! She wants to sit by you! I am sure Lynzi will go through that stage too!
Monday Lynzi had Girl Scouts and got a couple new badges. (Thank God they are iron on!) Tomorrow she will be sitting at Kroger selling candy bars with another Girl Scout and their leader. They are selling candy bars to raise money to buy a a child's Christmas this year.
Tuesday Lynzi had ballet and it was a watch day! That means parents get to watch. You can tell they have really improved since last year! They are dancing to "YMCA" and the original "Mickey Mouse Club". For the Christmas program they are dancing to "Christmas in the Ocean" ( I think) that Ariel sings. Lynzi needs a Christmasy Ariel sweatshirt! Be on the lookout and let me know where I can find one! If I dont' find one, she will just wear a Christmasy sweatshirt with tropical flowers in her hair and around her neck. After ballet we met Julie at the church to take Angel Food Orders. Have a mentioned what a great ministry this is? Ok, just checking.
Here is a video of Lynzi's ballet class practicing YMCA. She is on the left with the black leotard. The parents have to sit in the back...makes for not so great pictures and videos!
Wednesday Gene and I went to work out at the Y and finished painting the Living Room! YAY! We took a break to have lunch with Lynzi. Lynzi asked me to have lunch with her on Monday and I was heartbroken that I had to say no because of work. So Tuesday night I said, "Do you want Mommy to have lunch with you tomorrow?" "SHRRREEEEEEEK" That is Lynzi's way of saying "YES!" Then Wednesday morning I asked her if she wanted Daddy to come too since he was off work. "SHRRRRREEEEEK!" So, we both went! We also got to go to recess with her. The kids loved that because we would help them across the monkey bars and the fireman pole. The kids were lining up! Then we encouraged Lynzi to go play on the blacktop...like, hopscotch or something so we could leave the monkey bar area! HA! There were a group of kids playing duck, duck, goose so Lynzi joined them. There was one little boy who would pick her every time! I think he likes her! Then at one point there were too people who were "it" and the other one "goosed" Lynzi and she was running. The other "it" person was waiting on her to get back so he could "goose" her! HA! (Doesn't sound nice, does it?) Yesterday when she got home she said that this little boy took TWO of her school pictures that Gene did. The kids got their school pics back so Lynzi took some wallets that Daddy did of her. The boy took two after she said he could only have one! I think he is obsessed with her! HA!
Thursday Gene substitute taught and when we all got home we went to the YMCA for our 2nd appt with a trainer. We did a lot of weight lifting and I am a little sore. But more importantly Lynzi got to swim! When we picked her up from child watch she said, "I want to go watch them swim." Gene said, "You want to watch them or do YOU want to go swim?" "SSCRRREEEECH!" Again, that mean YES! She had a fun time with Daddy in the pool. They put a floating device strapped around and at one point she was "swimming" by herself. She was so excited! While they swam I went and did a cardio workout. Water is not my thing!
Friday...today....whew. TGIF, huh? Right now I am working...well, not real hard, but I am here. I got all my work done yesterday, and I am just basically here to answer the phones. I will be picking up Lynzi and then heading to Kroger to sell candy bars. At 7pm we may go to Wendy's. She won a free meal there for getting all A's on her report card. Tomorrow...we will be sleeping in and then going to the school's fall festival at 5pm. That should be fun!
Have a great weekend!
Here is the cake she won at the cake walk game. She wanted to decorate it for Mommy and Daddy's Anniversary. It was all her idea!
She did a good job. I helped with "Anniversary" but she did the rest.
