Hotel Pool

My Dad and Patricia are visiting Clovis and the kids were thrilled when they found out their hotel had a pool! The kids had a blast in the hot tub and pool! Thanks Holiday Inn and Grandma and Grandpa! Love, Jessie

Soccer

Jack had a soccer game and I gave the girls the camera for the hour. When we got home there were over 160 pictures taken and even some videos. Jack is Number 5 and kicked and played hard in the game. He plays 3 on 3 with no goalies and the coaches are the referees. I had fun with the whistle! Jack even scored a goal, GO Jack! Special thanks to my Dad who was able to come and cheer Jack on! Love, Jessie

RESPECT

Friday Eleanor was awarded a certificate of RESPECT for showing respect to her teacher and others in the month of September. They had an assembly and called her name, it was fun! She even got a free slush certificate, yummy! Way to go Eleanor! Love, Jessie

Grandparents Day

Jack had Grandparents Day at his school and it just so happened that Jack had Grandparents in town! Many thanks to Dad and Pat for coming to Clovis a little early to help Jack celebrate Grandparents Day in style. Love, Jessie

Our New Pets

The kids each picked out a fish yesterday! Jack told me this morning that he wanted to be a fish trainer. I asked him what a fish trainer does and he told me,"They teach fish to do cool stuff." "Like What?" I asked. Jack thought and thought and finally said, "to dig in the rocks with their fins and also to walk, you know on their fins!" He even had a bright idea that if his friend Libby got a fish too, he could train her fish just like his!

Maybe soon we will post a video of our three fish digging and walking around the tank!
Love, Jessie

Girls Day Out

On Wednesdays the Girls have a half day of school and Jack has a regular full day. We decided to make today a GIRL'S DAY OUT! I picked up the girls a little early and we headed to their favorite restaurant RED LOBSTER!!! They dined on mac n cheese and of course cheesy garlic biscuits. They enjoyed super yummy dessert, chocolate chip lava cake.

Next we headed to get nails done. They both went for wild zebra stripes! After nails we hit the mall and got lip glass at Claire's and hand sanitizer at Bath and Body Works! Then it was time to pick up Jack. Eleanor said it was her favorite day of the year and Maddie was all smiles! It is fun to do nothing but girly stuff, we had a blast! Love, Jessie

Apple Orchard

The kids and I went with some friends to an apple orchard. We had a blast picking and eating and eating and eating! The orchard was having an apple butter festival so they had a bouncy house, snow cones and Snow White! Eleanor did not want to leave and couldn't understand why we had to stop picking apples. Before we left I asked Maddie if she had fun and she said "Everything but the apple picking was great!" I'm excited to eat sleep and cook apples for the next few weeks! Much love, Jessie
