Track and Field Day

Well yesterday was the track and field day for Lane and Allison. Lane did really good, he placed in all events. Allison on the other hand won the three-legged race with Tierney. She was fine with that until Lane show her all his ribbons. She got upset and mad, she is very competitive. Andrea had to remind her about some kids are better readers and some are better runners. I have to say that I got my workout too. It seem that the two of them were on opposite sides of the field so I was trying to get to each one of the events to see them. I missed Lane's long jump. Here are some of the pictures from the day:

Last Day

I am sitting down here at MACC with my friends waiting to sell back my books. I am so sad that it is over and everyone is graduating. I am going to miss my friends, but I wish them the best of luck in all they do.

Mother's Day

Well today was Mother's Day and it started out great. My kids (with the help of Clifton) made me breakfast and they came in and told me to get up and eat. It was the cutest thing. Plus on the table was two homemade cards that they had made for me. Friday when Allison came home from school she had brought me a flower that was barely sticking up out of the cup and now today it is as tall as the cup that it is in. She is so amazed with it. She had also made me a hand print on a piece of tile. It is the nicest thing when your kids make you stuff at school or at home. Homemade thing or things from the heart are the best things that a mother can get.

Yesterday we started building fence for the kid's goat they have and finally got it finished late in the afternoon. The kids went up to get her out of the dog pen that we had her in and put her in the new pen. They stayed for awhile and watched her then they came to the house. A little later we looked out on her and she was not in the lot. We had found her, she had went through the gate into the horse lot. The horses were having fun with her. She then went though the barb wire fence and headed right back to her first home. We laughed so hard. So today Clifton went out and put cattle panel on the gates so she could not get out.

You know it was Mother's Day but I think I worked harder today than I have for a long time. I spent the day going through the kid's room and mine. We had a cleaning party and it feels good to sit down now, b/c I just put the kids to bed and did not have to step over toys and other things on the floor. Hopefully they will help keep them clean from now on......HaHa They were not happy with me when it was all over b/c I throw out broken toys and toys that they don't play with anymore.

Well I am going to close this blog for now. I have to study for a Statistic final in the morning. Yeah last final, then I have the summer off. Wish me luck on this one.

Here they are coming down the hill and Lane is having problems.

And Lane came tumbling down the hill.

Allison made it all the way down on her feet.

This is Lane and Allison on a hill. They were so excited that we let them go up it.

So Happy

I was just sitting here taking a break from my homework and was reading everyone's blogs and I got the surprise of my life. My daughter commented on one of my own blogs. By now you have read that I talk about my kids and Andrea her teacher must have let her read one. She thanked my for talking about her. She is such a wonderful child, my son is a great kid too. I just wanted to say "thank you Allison for taking the time to read my blogs and thank you Andrea for letting her read it too."

Allison has one of the best teachers she could have in school. There are many good teachers in the school, but there are some that are just there and there is others that are there for the kids.

I also want to say that I have taken my final in Chemistry last night and feel like I did good. I am in hopes to at least keep my A in that class. Also I read my book that I put together for Children's Literature and I am done with that class. Well I have to turn in 10 lesson plans but I have until next Friday for that. So guess what that is what I am going to work on this weekend. I hope that it is nice because I want to practice ball with the kids. Oh well I better get back to my homework before the kids get home.

Thanks again Andrea and Allison for the wonderful comment. I love you too Allison.
