Field Trip

So, I'm late... sorry!! Yesterday was a busy day to say the least. Claire had a field trip to Old McFaye's Farm. We let Chase stay home from school so that he could go with us and Aaron took the morning off. The kids got to feed goats, chickens, a pig, and sheep. Of course, Chase was in his element and had a great time. They caught some baby chicks, groomed a pony and Claire even worked up the nerve to ride a horse!! She was nervous, but it was obvious she was proud of herself for getting over her fear. Oh, and Chase and Claire went on a hayride. It was pulled by a four-wheeler and the screams from the kids made the farm sound like an amusement park. We ate a picnic lunch at the farm and were the last ones to leave because Claire finally met up with her friend Emma.

Later that afternoon, Chase began to finish his Lego project that he started in the morning. It took him until bedtime, but he finally finished his Lego Stegasaurus... it's very cool. He got out of bed to have me come see the eyes glowing in the dark. Claire has been a jukebox lately... singing anything and everything that comes to mind from Kanye West to her school church songs!! And of course, her favorite song of the year: Damaged. Her favorite part is, "My heart is missin some pieces... I need this puzzle put together again!! Damaged, Damaged..." and she goes on. Henri put himself to bed last night. I tucked him in and he decided that he wasn't ready for bed... so he got up and after about 10 minutes of playing, he got into his bed... to which I tucked him in and turned off his light. That's a milestone for Henri... even if it was just for one night.
