Big Valentine's bash at school.....

Actually, I was waiting until the last minute to show up since I was nice and relaxed from my Float Pod experience, but I got there when they were just starting. There was SO much food. Not all of our fruit kabobs were eaten. I took them over to Mrs. Swane's 4th grade class (Jasmine's teacher for next year). I counted 5 one thousand, 4 one thousand, 3 one thousand, 2 one thousand, 1 one thousand....and 15 fruit kabobs were devoured by a team of vultures:)) Ready to go to school this morning. Jasmine giving me a dirty look because she says she doesn't want me there, but then when I told her I would be late to the party, she seemed upset. Can't seem to make up her mind. Always with her friend Lucas....Oh NOOOOO, he's NOT her boyfriend!!!

Valentine's party....

For some reason, I signed up to bring fruit plates to Jasmine's class Valentine's party. Not sure why I did this. We (I) made 30 of these suckers!!! Got a late start because we had a flat tire in heavy traffic coming home. Relatively new tires still under warranty....but still time consuming. I'm not going to the party....I'm going to the Float Spa. Going to soak in MgSo4 for an hour (sensory deprivation tank). Vince and I did this when he was here. Very relaxing! I need it right now!!!

Fun Valentine's stuff....

Lot's of presents from our friend Brenda, a cute card with Jazzy's picture on it, heart shaped necklace and earrings, as well as other bling, colored pencils and puzzle book. Brenda always keeps me stocked on natural deodorants, soaps and other fun stuff:) This was the first year Jazzy made her own Valentine's box..yippie. Eventually she will do her own science project too! Stuff from Grandma and Grandpa- Buckeyes and Buckeye tee shirt, American Girl matching pajamas and slippers, lots of stickers:) Chillin out when Dr. Vince was here....

Choir Camp

Choir Camp this weekend. Practicing for "Seussical the Musical" in April.

Zoo Camp 2014

Winter Zoo Camp. I will have photos next week. Monday: They visited the "gazelle barn", then learned about lizards and tarantulas. That's all I could get out of Jasmine for Monday. Tuesday: Worked with elephants. Each child got to give an elephant either an apple or cracker directly from their hand:) - thru a fence of course. That activity apparently created the most excitement. Then they "gave the elephant a bath" by spraying her with a hose:) Then they visited with the new 4 month old orangutan baby! I'm sure they did other things too- but that's what I could get. Wednesday; Visit and study the Andean Bear, tortoises, millipedes, lots of crafts. Thursday: Farm day. Milked a cow, played with goats and chickens. Friday:- African day. Fed the giraffe from the "giraffe tower", put a dead chicken in the tree inside the tigers area. Apparently the dead chicken fell out of the tree before the tiger could climb up there to get it :)

Merry Christmas!

Lots of toys- balloon animals and Osmo (an iPad game) were the favorites. Then over to Jim, Jacky and Katie's for the afternoon:)

Zoolights

Tonight we went to ZooLights. I thought that-being Christmas Eve- it wouldn't be so crowded. Not so! We had popcorn and hot chocolate, and just walked around for awhile:) Something fun to do on Christmas Eve!
