1st Field Trip

I love being part of the firsts in my kids lives. The first crawl, walk, talking, teeth, day of school and now 1st field trip. Today Kai and his preschool class went to Hartman Reserve. I was lucky enough to join the experience. I also love that about my job being able to rearrange my schedule, so I will be able to be with the boys and to help the teachers. There are a lot of kids for only 3 teachers. We will take lots of pictures for all of you to enjoy. The field trip was fun, but the most exciting part was the bus ride. But the kids got to color leaves and make apple cider. But of course they all wanted to get on the bus. So, much fun. Upcoming events for school is a group picture and Harvest Party where I will help kids paint pumpkins.
I hope everyone is staying healthy. Man, it is crazy how many sick people there are out there. I guess I find ourselves lucky since we have a smaller preschool, in home daycare and then the boys are usually with PK or me. We have stepped up the hand washing. Which is how the boys and I didn't get Paul's cold. Man, poor man was miserable.
Speaking of PK...he is staying busy at work and home and now he is training for a 1/2 marathon. I am not sure if he is signed up for one or just testing it out. So, our nights are very interesting. We are still trying to figure out how to get it all in, but so far so good. PK has started bowling every other Thursday with his coworkers and they are playing against another company. So, much for them. I guess PK is a good bowler.
I am doing good. I have been keeping busy, but I have also become a Pampered Chef consultant. So far I have 2 home shows set up and 3 online parties. I just hope I can mange all of this. But, I love the products and a nice way to make a little extra money. Wish me luck :o)
Kade is doing great. He has a little mean streak in him, but that keeps us all on our toes. He is a jabber jaws so not like his brother at his age...Oh and I am sitting and Kai LOVES everything. Lord he says that about 10 times a day. Too cute.
Please keep my mother-in-law in your thoughts. She is on her way to Madagascar right now on a mission trip. We are all so proud of her, but please send her good thoughts. We will also get to see most of the Kuempel & Brondyke family this weekend for our nieces confirmation. We are so very excited to see everyone.
I hope everyone is staying healthy...Much love! EK
