Camden looking so big:)


Elek realized the donkey was eating hay. So He tried to make it alittle "easier" for the donkey. I use the word easier very loosly, nothin like getting hay slowly shoved towards your nose to make you scoot away!

This little guy really like the pile of hay brought to him.

Give a goat a handful of food... and you get a line of goats!

Camden kept trying to be brave and feed the sheep and goats, but he usually would get scared and drop the food just before they could get it.

Maybe it's the Alankan Cowgirl in me, but I love when my kids climb the fence...oh the memories:)

This goat was a little scary looking. He has green eyes and would just look at you until you gave it food.

The boys loved getting on top this plat form with the baby goats.

Deciding if they should go up here. I had a picture of Elek and Keenan up here with two goats. On the edge of the photo you could see one of the goats trying to eat Keenan's shirt! Too Funny:)

Love the goats toung sticking out!

So, I know I'm not THAT popular

Just a little note to say it must be time to go private on my blog! My counter on the side moves slowly but steadily. I haven't really been paying attention to it since the move somewhere aroung 2000 or so... 11,000+ CRAZY! I must have been put on the list of blogs to look at....

school

Thursday after getting Elek at the bus stop I asked if He had a good day.
E: yes, I got center time minutes
Me: ? great!(not really sure, but he was happy so we went with it)
Me: How did you do that?
E: I earned them.
Me: How
E: I guessed the words on the board. No one else knew them.
Me: Great job:)

His cousins view(conversation between mom and daughter)
Mom: were you good today?
cousin: yes
Mom: did you get in trouble?
Cousin: well the whole class did. Well everyone, but Elek.
Mom: what happened?
Cousin: During circle time no one knew the words on the board. But elek did. The whole class had to wait 5 minutes before center time. Elek was the only one that was able to play.

Funny, the perspective of two kids on the same moment. One thinks they are getting a great privilege for reading some words. The other thinks they are all being punished for not reading!

Either way I'm glad Elek is loving learning! We had been working on letters and writing the last year, but I never really know what's "sticking." It's nice to see something come full circle.
Good job buddy!

Funny note: Elek is looking for a nick name. Keenan has Keenan myster; Camden is Camden boy(I know we aren't very original) Well elek came up with Elek melek. Not only does it rhyme, but it is a city in the b of m. Too funny, not sure if he's keeping it though:)
