    The Ice Cream Truck

    1 Comment

    Who actually buys ice cream from the ice cream truck? No one, right? I mean you could buy each kid their own carton for that price… well Erica does, and she did when we were with her last week and you might be surprised just how happy and fun the ice cream truck can be 🙂 Here’s the enjoyment, oldest to youngest…

    Pacen with the snow cone!

    Benji also chose the snow cone!

    Camry, what is that one?

    Packer with the Spiderman!

    Claira stole Erica's creamy something!

    Cali woke up right in time to steal my fudgesicle!

    Gentry stole the snow cone!

    Rose got to try the snow cone too!

    Oops, Rose is older than Gentry – (1 day) – too lazy to change the order…

    Erica was conned into trading with Claira!

    Jana didn't want to be the only one without an ice cream picture!

    Erica's cute girls giving taste for taste.

    We had fun at the park!

    Joy School Graduation

    No Comments

    I love this guy!

    We just got home from Packer’s Joy School Graduation! This was our first attempt at Joy School and it was a love-hate relationship for me. I loved that Packer made new friends and he really did learn a lot. I love that he had that time away 2 times a week and that Cali and I got to spend time together when he was gone. I loved seeing the kids interact and watching them form friendships. I even loved the teaching part. I guess the hate part just comes in the form of preparation. I felt like their was a lot of busy work before each lesson and that made my teaching weeks really busy and verging on stressful. I would think twice before doing it again BUT I think round 2 would be easier because I know what I am in for and I know what parts of the lesson to just cut out if I don’t have the time or materials.

    Isn't he adorable? He was the youngest of the group.
