I know, it's been a long time coming. . . I haven't kept up with my blog - this one's from October!! We've just had quite a bit going on over the past month. On October 30th, we had our annual Date with Dad at the preschool. It is one of my favorite events of the year. I love seeing all the kiddos with their dads. Everyone wears camo for the occasion. The dads and kids have lunch together and then enjoy themselves playing games. Here is a cute shot of Jordan & Natalie and then one of our whole family in our garb.
Funny story - there's been a lot of talk about hunting in our family over the past few months. Jordan, Geoff, and Bruce went dove hunting in September, and of course, deer season is on now. Anyway - at date with Dad we have this huge inflatable deer that we use for decoration in the gym. After the event while we were cleaning up, my daughter - who's been hearing a LOT about hunting lately - picks up the deer and says, "Hey, I know a game we can play - it's called Shoot the Deer." She tells another little boy in the preschool that he has to shoot the deer that she's holding up in standing position. He just stares at her for a few minutes while she continues to announce very loudly to the whole gym. . . . "Hey, I know a game we can play - it's called Shoot the Deer - now shoot it!" Finally, the little boy gives in, holds up one hand, points a finger, and very calmly says, "Bang!" To Natalie's delight, she knocks the deer over and announces, "You got him! Good Job!" Well, I may not be a hunter, but far be it from me to keep my little girl from her destiny!
