1st Christmas Concert

I’m about to hop on the freeway after loading kind into the van after school pick up and Kaylee starts talking about hair and dress option for her mandatory concert tonight. WHAT?!?!?!

I forgot to write it down on the calendar (face palm), missed the reminder flyer, and had %100 forgotten all about it. I totally flipped out. I called Sally in a panic got the low down, called Jon, and then apologized to kids.

So Kaylee had her first mandatory (music grade) concert tonight.  We had a good view of the back of Kaylee’s head while waiting for her turn to sing.

It was a pretty cute concert. Kaylee was nervous and excited. She did really great. Jon is loving how short she is. ALWAYS in the front. It makes picture taking easier. 🙂IMG_2521

Bonus was getting to see friends. Olivia was SO funny. I love that girl.IMG_2535 IMG_2556Aaaand this is how Regan felt about the concert. Next year he has to be in it. Holy tears. He did not enjoy himself at all. Regan is not looking forward to school music concerts……

Super happy that Jon was on camera duty. I had my hand full of crabby Regan.

1st grade Zoo trip

The first grade field trip was the last day before Thanksgiving break. Jon had asked for the day off so he could help me get all packed up. So we packed up the night before and went on her field trip as chaperons. It was Jon’s first time being a parent on a field trip. 🙂

Kaylee found the tortoise very stinky.IMG_2101

We found the rhino lizard. Basically it’s Liz from The Magic School Bus. Awesome. I may have been more excited about it than the girls….IMG_2114 IMG_2118

We had Kaylee and another girl from her class in our group. She took a bunch of pictures for us. Some turned out. Others not so much. 🙂IMG_2121 IMG_2122 IMG_2124 IMG_2127 IMG_2129 IMG_2131 IMG_2132 IMG_2135 IMG_2142 IMG_2148 IMG_2152

Jon and I filled out the class work while the girls gave us their answers. Kaylee took this one of us working.IMG_2158

The baboons were especially friendly.IMG_2195 IMG_2200 IMG_2213

I do like going on school trips and am so happy Jon got to come on this one. It was worth the late night getting the van loaded for our Utah trip.
