West Fargo Parks and Rec party

Halloween Bash at Veterans Memorial - West Fargo. Jasmine invited her little "bestie" Myah Klein. They went thru a scary maze, made a mask craft, went to the Science Lab to make "slime"...just what we need, more slime:(, decorated and ate cookies, and received lots of candy.

Last BB gun class...

Jasmine did really well in the BB gun class. The instructor called her "Sniper Stolz":)) I wanted her to take the class because it requires some semblance of concentration. She didn't really enjoy the class because the rest of the students were all little 8-9 yr old boys. She was the oldest as well as the only girl. I think she did enjoy the actual shooting though. She said she was open to taking the next class which is kid's "air pistol" in the spring.

Stephani photos....

Jasmine found a few of Stefani's baby pictures on the Cat's Cradle website. Looks like she has some little eye goobers:) She is laying on top of her sister "Gwen":) Stephani's two little brothers look exactly the same...Blake and Shelton. Jasmine had a sleepover the other night with her friend. Stephani got into Jasmine's sleeping bag:)

Holiday Inn 11th Birthday Party!

Apparently, the Holiday Inn in the big place to go for parties in general. They have a big indoor pirate pool with slides and a jacuzzi. The party also included a room right off of the pool where everyone could change, Domino's pizzas, yukky soft drinks and lots of swimming. Everyone swam, scarfed down the pizza, swam some more, had cake and opened presents. It was a fun day since it was cold and rainy outside, plus it was a day off school due to teacher's meetings:) Swimming....Paige and JasmineSantana, Jasmine, Paige Eating pizza...Samanta, Tana, Jasmine, Myah, Sadie, Gina, Rico, Hailey, Paige A balloon at Jasmine's party which depicts her demeanor for the day...

Fargo Parks and Rec Class

Fargo Parks and Recreation has a bee bee class for kids 8-12yrs. It was fun- sort of. Jasmine was her usual "know it all" self. Total smart elec. The instructor told her that she was shooting low. Later she said to me "Well, they needed to move the target up"!! So typical. She was very serious when she said that!!! Everything is everyone else's fault- nothing to do with her. Then she asked me if we could go out to eat after the class. Heck NO! You can go home and eat a can of soup...which is what she did! Hopefully, next week will be better. It's a 4 week class, then after that is an "air rifle" class, then MY classes. Total dufus- I thought the class was at 6:30. Nope- 6PM. We were late:(. Then, the first thing the guy says is "be careful not to step on the bee bee box". So, what do I do...step on the box. Thousands of bee bees fly everywhere. They had to get a big magnet and pick them all up. Ugghh...not a good evening for either of us:))

First day of Sixth Grade....

First day of 6th grade at Liberty Middle School. 1300 kids in the school. There are around 500 just in 6th grade. They are divided into groups with names like Siberia, Amazon, Pathfinder, Infinity, etc. Then there is "A"sub- group and "B" sub-group in each group. Jasmine is in "Siberia"- which kind of makes sense since her group is located on the third floor clear in the back of the building. It's quite a hike to get up there. The good thing is that the walls of the third floor are made of clear plexiglass. You can see all around the entire city from the third floor. All of the rooms are much more interesting than when I was in school. There are definitely rows of desks, but the rooms are much larger with a "living room" and "kitchen" set up in each room. They can sit on couches, tables and chairs, or their desks. Very homey! Here is Jasmine all ready for 6th grade. I actually did comb her hair very nicely, but she "re-did" it:(

Thanks Grandma!
