Weston's Field Trip

This will just be a short post, but I wanted to share a few pics of Weston on his field trip last Friday.  He was so excited prior to the trip because I was able to go along, and then after the trip we thanked me multiple times for going.  He melted my heart.  :)

Parent Teacher Conference

Last Thursday we had Weston's parent teacher conference. As it is a mother's right to brag about how smart their children are, I must do so now. Weston had some testing (NWEA) he had done earlier in the school year for math and reading. Based on kids his age in reading he was in the 97th percentile and for math he was in the 98th percentile. He had a glowing report from his teacher as well. We are very proud of our little Einstein.

This past weekend we had our last camping trip of the year. Excellent weather and great campsite. However, the mosquitos and bees were insane. I'm still discovering new mosquito bites and itching them until they are raw. And poor Cambria got stung at the top of the playground slide. But being the tough bird she is, cried for maybe 10 seconds then slid down the slide, and headed back for more. Weston made a friend Sarah with whom he became smitten with. He was keeping an eye on the playground in case she showed up there. After cleaning the camper on Sunday and detailing the van yesterday, I have the task of cleaning and putting away everything we removed from the camper for the winter. My house is such a mess at the moment. And look and me blogging instead of cleaning.

One last thing, Weston received his school pics back yesterday. Isn't he handsome? Don't worry family, pics will be going out in tomorrow's mail.

Also notice the picture link on the left, that will bring you directly to the Picasa pictures.

See I told you I wasn't sure if I'd have time for this blogging stuff. It's been over a month since my last post.

We had our neighborhood soup party in September, with a very good turnout. I think my favorite soup was the Mexican Corn Chowder that Jen and Steve brought. I'll have to get the recipe from them and post it on here. The night lasted till about 2 in the morning.

Last weekend we went to Klackle farms for our annual fall trip. This was our 4th year. It was a great day. We picked lots of apples, the kids loved the blow up obstacle courses. And of course we had a donuts and apple cider. We were running out of time, due to Cambria's nap, so we skipped the pumpkin patch this year. We ended the day doing the corn maze, the stalks were a bit short in some areas, which meant the difficulty level was not at it's peak. I will post more pictures on Picasa.

I also had a premier jewelry party this past Friday. It was a lot of fun, and I get a lot of new jewelry. I just finished closing my show. I'm so excited for it to arrive.

This weekend we are going to take out the camper for a fall camping trip. The last one for the year.

Oh and tomorrow Weston has his parent teacher conferences, I'll try to pass along how smart my kid is :)
