Kids Market Place

Ali came home from school and said she had her career for kids market place this week.




This is where they get to pull a career out of a hat, have a budget according to there job, and then try to live off it.



They purposely didn't let them know what their career would be so you had to come of with things you had at home. They didn't want parents to run out an buy things. So she came home from school and said that she was a sales person. We had to come up with an outfit, and something to sale (props).
Our brains tried to kick in gear, yeah hard sometimes. She deciede to sell pencil pals and hair gadgets. We made some and a name badge.
While at the market place she purchased a sports car. Later found out that it was to expensive and traded it in for an economical car. Went to the animal shelter...(I knew that would be a given) They had to pay utilities, rent etc and either break even or have some left over.




Sounds like it was a sucess she had a great time.

She was a good salesman cause she came home and we had to make more because everyone wanted one and she ran out. She was beaming because won in her class for creativity and props.

Movie Theater Field Trip

Zach had another fun field trip at school.


Bedtime stories and a tour of the movie theater. I was kind of like a little date with him.
We had fun together the whole afternoon.

The movie theater gave them a strip of film. 12 squares is one second.

Horsin Around

Zach and Hayley playing cowboys.

My mom called me at work today and said, just wanted you to know that your son is riding a horse today. I said oh that is nice, I wish I were. I had taken these pictures of Zach and Hayley a few weeks ago and they were back at it today.




She said that today they were in the house and my dad went and got the horses out for them to ride. At that point Zach had changed his mind and didn't want to. Then Hayley being the little mom that she is said..."Zach you can't do that". "You have to go with me now". "If you don't, Grandpa will have to take the saddle off, put it back in the barn, put the other stuff away and the horse when he got everything out for you to ride" (how is that for a 6 year old?) Zach then said...."oh, alright". and hopped on.


They do love being able to ride around the pasture and be the boss. They are so cute and remind me of when I was younger and doing the same thing.
