Superstition Farm

Abby has the sweetest Kindergarten class. Just 12 kids and they are all wonderful. Every couple of weeks, the moms, kids, and siblings get together for a play date. It has been a lot of fun getting to know the moms and letting the kids play. There have been lots of park dates and a couple of fun event dates. This particular day we went to a nearby dairy farm. They talked with the kids about life on a dairy farm, gave a hayride tour, let the kids pet some animals in a little petting zoo part, gave them some flavored milk, and let them jump in this big pit filled with cotton. It was quite an adventure for them and they loved it!

Katie wasn't too into feeding the animals. In fact the only animals she would even go near were the dog and the bunny!

Hot Chocolate in the Morning?

The other day I was watching my niece Madison. It was about 8:30 in the morning and she asked for some hot chocolate. I laughed and said, "You can't have hot chocolate in the morning." She gave me this puzzled look. Later, I told my sister about it, and she said, "What's wrong with that? We have hot chocolate in the morning all the time!" From there, a friendly debate has evolved. Is it normal to have hot chocolate in the morning? I say it is a dessert drink. She says you drink it if you want something warm and you don't like coffee. We were at a breakfast restaurant and she, with a smile, ordered hot chocolate. I smiled when the waitress brought out a tall hot chocolate drink with a mountain of whip cream and sprinkles. Although, I'll be honest and say the waitress said that many people order hot chocolate for breakfast. Seriously people! So Tracy watched Abby and Kate for an overnight and I was given these pictures. They are enjoying hot chocolate for breakfast!
