SKG (Secret Girl Keeper) Date 5 at Grandma's

The kids and I , along with cousin Rylie, went to my mom’s today. Jayden and I had an SKG date and our challenge was to attend a vintage store and try on clothing in as many different outfits as we could. I couldn’t think of any stores that would appreciate us trying on all their clothes just for fun, so we asked Grandma if she would be our store. She got into the idea too and had different rooms of the house set up. She had clothes in one, hats, shoes, and accessories in another, and jewelry in another. It was cute and fun. I was super excited as I actually fit into my high school Junior prom dress. It is black and purple sequence, and it zipped all the way. We had some pretty crazy outfits going. Some of the clothes and jewelry were my Grandmothers. She wore a lot of clip on earrings. I fit into her 15th anniversary dress. Jayden wore Great Grandma’s favorite plaid suit and turned it into a pretty silly clown outfit.The story that went with the challenge talked about an eagle that thought he was a chicken and just follwed what everyone else did and what everyone else said to do. He finally figures out he as an eagle and soars in the sky. It helped Jayden to see that she is to be her own person and dress the way she wants and not everyone else. The boys went outside for some adventures on the farm with Peepaw.

Volleyball

Jake went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s Volleyball game in Coon Rapids. They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them. Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
