Field Trip!

My group-- a very energetic group I might add!

Decorating cupcakes--NO CUPCAKE FOR YOU!!

The class got to pick out a pumpkin for their classroom.


Don't you remember how much you LOVED field trips? Man those were the days huh? Well Abby got to experience her first and she was ecstatic! This trip was their "small" trip (test-run being that it's their first year and all:) They went to Tom Thumb (grocery store) and took a tour. Tom Thumb is about 2 blocks away from the school so we were able to walk. Each parent volunteer got a group of 4 kids and were told to keep them alive:) -only kidding but honestly that was one of my goals!
The tour was fun for the kids and Abby says her favorite was when she got to walk in the freezer--it was super cold---when we walked out our clothes had almost frozen--sounds fun doesn't it?:)
Now since Abby started school something new to Greg and I is the "snack" policy in the public schools--we have been shocked to find out that the kids only get junk food at parties about 2 times during the whole year! The other times they can only eat "approved" foods like- crackers, cheese, goldfish, bread and one of my personal favorites-ear of corn with chili powder? WHAT? That is just craziness! Well the kids did get a snack during their visit- pieces of bread and juice--just plain ole bread...too funny! Earlier in the tour they got to go to the bakery and help decorate cupcakes and I think every kid thought they were gonna get to eat one---but no instead they got bread--Abby was a bit puzzled--it was hilarious to watch:)
Well we got the kids back happy and safe and don't worry I let Abby eat junk food at home--in moderation of course!
