Here, There and Everywhere!

Ian went on his first field trip as a first grader to the NC State Wildlife Center this morning. Cailean and I take turns chaperoning, so I went on this one (Cailean is out of town anyway) and Cailean will be the one to go on the next one. Ian's class is really a well-behaved class and Mrs. Harris does a great job organizing those kids! So yea...we were in the mud, in the swamp area, kids are having a ball. I made Ian wear his OLD sneakers (a little small, but they sure did get muddy)! Here we are...heading down into the muddy area.

Each kid had a cup and a net and they were able to go to town. Most caught tadpoles and some caught some other little critters.

We see you Mrs. Harris!

Ian taking a moment to pose with two of his classmates.

Ian's ONLY soccer coach he has ever had...Coach Rob! Ian was given the Most Coachable and Best Footwork Award!!!!!!!!!! We're proud of you, kiddo! You are so happy on that field and you are such a great team player.

Coach Rob giving one last pep talk to the Cyclones. The fall season ended today in the rain.

After the game and trophies we actually had to wait a few minutes because mom's car battery died. I happened to have jumper cables and Rob did the work while Leslie and I stood chatting in the rain. Then, the boys and I headed to Kingswood for Math Night and we were all pretty beat. I even offered to just drive them straight home, but Ian flipped out and wanted to go. Ian did a few tables there and then we headed home to get ready for another busy day tomorrow!

Gavin spent the day with Pekai and had a fun time playing hide and go seek. He was all giggly when I picked him up! He and Sammy played in their van during the game and I guess they had a ball. LOL Gavin does such a great job going here, there and everywhere with me. Tomorrow is his big day with the Halloween Parade! Look out Spiderman...BATMAN is coming! :)
