Petting Zoo At Preschool

Today Tyson's preschool class had a petting zoo. The zoo consisted of the animals that the children brought from home. Trust me, I have a zoo, so I obliged by taking five kittens, I thought maybe there would be a sucker who would just HAVE to have a kitten. Of course one of the other kiddos brought her kitten and she had THREE more to find homes for. That dad and I were both trying to pawn off kittens. Watching the kids with the kittens I decided they would have better luck fighting off coyotes than living with the kids. Tyson has got to learn that cats do not fly and if you throw them at a glass window they will not stick just because they have claws. They have of course attached themselves to Tyson on several occasions and that makes him mad, but I do believe if I thought I was going to be tossed to kingdom come I wouldn't let go either. There were a couple of dogs there also, but Tyson got bored pretty quick, I think it would take a pet elephant to get him excited. (Don't get any ideas Leo).
Acacia is doing great in school, her grades are excellent and she has a lot of friends. We are having a sleep over on Friday. That is always a lot of fun. Lydia got dumped by a boy today. I think she will survive, even if Jeff won't. She thinks a fourth grader is hot and her friend wants to kiss a boy on the lips. How do they know this stuff? Acacia is still single for the moment, thank the heavens, I suppose next week Lydia will be planning her wedding. I am sure it will be a grand affair. She has a passion for fashion, I think her Bratz dolls have been corrupting her.
Our end of the night routine has been singing to SingStar on the playstation, the girls really enjoy competing against mom. They love the songs and for a five year old who can't read Lydia does really well. It is a lot of fun for our family.
Jeff has some news, his last day working for the prison is tomorrow the 12th. He starts working for Great Plains on Monday. He was ready for a change and it is better pay. He is very excited and I am thrilled to see him so happy. He will still be working at the prison supervising inmates who work for Great Plains, but under a different supervisor and company. The state has been good, but this will be bettter.
Life has been good and we are truly blessed so I hope the same for everyone else.
