Elementary School STUFF

Let me start by saying, "I had NO IDEA how much stuff went on during Elementary School! Was it like this when we were kids? I honestly don't remember!"

Last week at school was Literacy Week, activities included: Pajama Day, Dress as Your Favorite Book Character, and a Mash Bash for books complete with a hot dog snack on the playground Friday afternoon, not to mention face painting and the book fair was all last week along with parent teacher conferences.

This week is Red Ribbon Week--Be Drug Free, activities include: Don't Get MIXED up in Drugs-wear mix matched clothes; TEAM up against drugs-wear favorite team jersey; Put a CAP on Drugs-wear your favorite hat/cap; Wear Red Day.

So Laynie is loving all the STUFF that goes on at Elementary School, but I think it's beginning to wear her Mommy out! :-) FUN DAYS!
She was so proud of her Mixed Up Outfit! She's a hoot!

Wild Things Farm--Day Two

Friday was Laynie's first Kindergarten field trip--she had a really good time, but I think her favorite part may have been the bus ride! :-) She hung out with her classmates, Conner & Jackson, for the most part. Today was definitely different than on Thursday with Jones. Laynie liked the horse, but WAS NOT into feeding the goats! She was the only one I saw that made her corn cob fly into the swimming pool target (which made her day)! The Kindergarten children got a more in depth explanation of how a pumpkin grows, but other than that it was about the same. Guess we'll be going back next fall ya'll!

Wild Things Farm--Day One

It was a full morning at the Wild Things Farm--Jones loved every minute of it. Enjoy the pictures--the captions should tell most of the story!

Kindred Spirits/Sausage Dip

Last night we had Kindred Spirits, which is a time for the Adult 2 ladies (and others) to get together and fellowship with a little food and devotion of some sort. Well last night we had the opportunity to hear one of my CBS friends, Jennifer, give a devotion using her Potter's Wheel. It was really so good I had goose bumps during parts of it. She talked about what goes into making a piece of pottery and parralleled it to how God works in our lives--I wish everyone could have seen it! I think she quoted just about all the Scriptures that mentioned Jesus being the potter and we are the clay--I like it!!!

Anyway I made Sausage Dip for the evening, and Stephanie said it was definitely a blog worthy reciepe! :-) So here it is, just for you!

SAUSAGE DIP
1 pound Sausage
2 sticks of Cream Cheese
1 can Rotel, drained

Cook sausage and drain if necessary. Add cream cheese and Rotel in skillet and let all melt together slowly. Serve with corn chips. That's it--super easy, huh? I actually got this appetizer from my cousin Leslie--she's a great appetizer maker!
