Thanksgiving Break!

Well, the girls are out of school this week all week, so I am trying to keep them somewhat busy! I love Thanksgiving, but hate that all the Christmas decorations are already up everywhere! Baylee said today that she didn't know why stores had them up already, because it wasn't even Thanksgiving yet!

Yesterday, we went to eat lunch with Poppa at his school. I try to do this on days they are out of school and he's not, because Baylee and Madison are always in school when we do this. The girls love to go back to his classroom and draw on the boards. Britton decided to be his normal show-off self and when he'd snicker and scrunch his nose up to smile, the class would laugh, and he'd do it over and over as long as someone was laughing at him. He went to several of the girls in class, and Poppa warned him to stay away from the cheerleaders! ;-)

Kinsey had her Thanksgiving feast at school the other day, and afterwards, I wanted to get her picture by the teepee. She went over there to pose, and a little boy, one of her many boyfriends, came running over wanting to get a picture made with Kinsey. Right as I was about to snap it, another little boy came running over wanting his picture with Kinsey and jumped in the picture and put his arm around her just in time for the snap. Of course, this made the first a little upset, but she's completely oblivious to the fact they fight over her. She has 3 other girls in her class and hardly plays with girls, but is right in the middle of the boys all the time. This concerns us if the trend continues over the years....ha ha ha. She has a "husband" in there too, and they've been "husband and wife" for over a year now....

Sweet little Madison got in trouble for the first time the other day. She had to move a "card" from green to blue. I decided at the last minute to go up to school and eat lunch with her, and boy am I glad my mommy radar must have gone off. As I walked in school, her teacher let me know what had happened. Apparently, when leaving guidance class, which was in a portable, about 8 kids ran to the sidewalk. The guidance teacher told her teacher that some had been running, and when she asked them to stand if they were running, Madison stood. Her teacher said her heart sank when she saw Madison stand, but had to be fair and made them all change a card. Now, up until that point, she hadn't gotten upset, but when she saw me she lost it. She cried half of lunch and was SO heartbroken. She really took pride in that she had never changed a card through Kindergarten and up until this day! She was afraid her teacher was mad at her, and after lunch they had a long talk about how she wasn't mad at Madison and would forget by the next day that she had even changed a card. Of course the most heart wrenching part for Madison was that she wouldn't be able to get a treasure out of the treasure chest at the end of the week. I finally got her calmed back down to go back in class, and that Friday, when she was getting ready to leave, her teacher told her to get a treasure, and Madison reminded her she had been in trouble that week. Her teacher told me it blew her away that she had told her the truth when she had forgotten. I was very proud! :-) One thing about Madison, you can rest assured she'll NEVER run anywhere in school EVER again! ha ha ha...

Let's see...as for Baylee, well she's SO much more grown up acting lately. It makes me so sad, but she's a lot of fun to be around now. She also had her feast last week and had a test over the pilgrim unit and simulation they did in class. It blows me away some of the things she comes home telling me she learned in school. I mean, really! By high school I will have no idea what she's doing at this rate! She still loves for me to eat with her, so I try to take advantage of this as much as I can, because I know I only have a few more years until the embarrasing stage sets in and she won't want me to eat with her. That may kill me....

So long for now!
