Last Friday night the whole gang headed to the elementary school for the Family Dance. Mostly the kids dance and the parents sat on the sidelines and watched the chaos. Lauren spent most of the night front and center of the stage, cause "you know mom, I'm gonna be a rock star when I grow up" Noah's dance moves involved some sort of weird combination of tapping his feet as fast as possible while trying to do the splits. I'm positive those dance moves came from dad. Here's a video clip of Benjamin (in the red shirt) practicing his very best air- guitar & head-banging. Aerosmith, eat your heart out!
It was Pet Week at preschool and somehow I got roped into hauling 2 new acquired goldfish to school. Noah thought it was absolutely fabulous.
A Christmas present from Grandma Petersen got put to good use this week. Each of the kids received a pillowcase made by a friend of hers. They were supposed to have made their way onto a pillow. But I turned my back for a second and I saw them "boing, boing, boinging" down the hallway. Those cases have been jumping around the house all week.
I started back to work at Gale Woods Farm this week. For the next 5 weeks, I'm going to be working with an after-school program. The 1st-3rd graders come directly from school to help with farm chores and learn about the farm. Thursday was the first session and the kids were able to watch the annual sheep shearing. At first the other educator and I told the kids that they were female sheep but as the wool came off it became quite obvious they were the boys. I even overheard one of the kids whisper to his friend "oooh, I saw some private parts!" Ahhhh, yet again, another fun-filled summer at the farm.

Sounds like a great job! (And that would have been my boys looking for the private parts!)
Do you think the lady who made those pillowcases ever imagined they'd be used as gunny sacks?
They saw some private parts, LOL!!! I would have jumped around in my pillowcase too. So much more fun using them that way
I love blogging; you come to learn about some very cool "cultural" experiences. That Family Dance is a terrific idea; I love it. We have Friday Fun Night, but it's just for the kids. I'll have to suggest this.
I also LOVE the farm idea! The family farm is nearly a thing of the past these days; I think it's great that kids have this opportunity.
Have a great weekend! :)
