Ethan's Class At The Zoo!

On Friday I went with Ethan's class to the Madison Zoo! I got to ride the bus with the kids. I do have to tell you that riding the bus as an adult is not as much fun as it is for kids. When we got to the zoo I was in charge of three kids, Ethan and two friends. I also want to say that it was my child that caused me the most problems. Why is that?Ethan reading a book on the bus

Seeing how long his arms are.

We all had a fun day. I just have to say that next time I think I will insist on driving myself. I can't handle the bus very well anymore. The kids were all tired out by the end of the day. Some even slept on the way home.

Lily and Sebastion!

A few weeks ago Nana came to visit and brought Sebastion with her. Sebastion got to know Lily and they seemed to kind of get along.This is Lily blocking Seb's way to his toy. If I threw Seb's toy Lily would run to get it. Sebastian was not sure what to make of her. He would try to sneak around her to get his toy.

What a week it has been! Busy packing and getting ready for the move. Also, it seems that the kids have more and more things to do as the year is coming to a close.

1. Today is my last day at work. I will miss it but I have lots of things to do to keep me busy.

2. Jared's last day of work is Friday! He then starts his new job on Monday. Send good vibes to him on Monday!

3. Ethan and I are going to the zoo with his class on Friday. Ethan is excited that I get to ride the bus with him. I am not so sure that riding the bus with two classes of first graders. Should be a good time.

4. Kellen is still working on the Coliseum for his project.

5. The litter is still being scooped!

Have a good week!

Happy Mom's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there! Have a nice relaxing day. Let your kids spoil you!

Wow things are going pretty smoothly for us here in Fort. There seems to be so much to do here. I just have to believe that we will get it all done.

1. Kellen is still working on his Roman Coliseum project and it is coming along nicely.

2. Jared and I are both finishing up our notices at our jobs! A week from tomorrow is our last day!

3. Things have been finding their way into boxes! We figured if we do a little each day it will get done! It just is not as fast as I would like it to go. I will have a lot more time to do it when I am done working.

4. We have two movers coming to load up our truck! So NO heavy lifting for me. We also have a few guys to do the lifting for us once we are up in Marshfield!

5. We have a place to live! See the below post!

6. And of course the litter is still being scooped!

Have a good week!

New Place!

On Saturday we went up to Marshfield and checked out a few places to live. We saw quite a few newer places and one older house. A few of places has a shared wall and we were not sure if we liked that. The one we decided on is a single family home. It has three bedrooms, a bathroom (the landlord is adding another before we move in), a fenced in yard, central air, newer furnace, insulation, and so much more. Plus, I am allowed to paint and plant a garden!This is the side of the house.

Another of the front. I did not take any of the inside because there were people living there and it was not really fit to take pictures of. I will get some when it is empty. Also, I forgot to tell you that the landlord said that if when our lease is up in three years we can buy it from him. If we fall in love with it we just might.

Art Night

The boy's school had Art Night. There was a scavenger hunt. The kids had to find things in the pictures that were displayed all over the school. Kellen also had a recorder concert. The boys had a good time and so did Jared and I.Kellen's card that he made.
