Very Busy Week!

The Wilson's have had a very busy week this week. Last Saturday the green gators took the field again! Caleb still enjoys playing defense the best and Joel really doesn't care - he just likes to be on the field. After a hard fought game they ended up LOSING but they had a fabulous time! (The picture is of them saying the pledge of allegiance before the game). Tomorrow they have a double header so it is sure to be fun.

On Tuesday they poured the slab for our house!! YEAH. They had put the plumbing in last Friday and we were waiting for the inspection to happen before they could pour the slab. We were so excited to see some progress and as Christian says it is finally more than just a patch of dirt.

On Wednesday Christian had his first band concert. It was an event for the whole family. Each student in the beginner band HAD to bring a parent with them. They then took their parent and taught them a simple song. The parent then had to perform the song for the entire group. I volunteered Craig for this wonderful experience (ha. ha.) Craig actually played the trumpet for a couple of years so it was not completely foreign to him. All of the parents attempted to play their song and then the students played what it should have sounded like. Everyone had a great time.

On Thursday Joel had his FIRST field trip. It was actually my first field trip as well (since becoming an adult)! Because of working I had never had an opportunity to go on any of the kids field trips. All 5 of the kindergarten classes traveled to a near by Pumpkin Patch Farm. They were able to feed cows and goats through the fence, ride on a hayride and of course pick their very own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. We also enjoyed a picnic lunch by the lake. It was COLD here yesterday and the wind was blowing very hard so the parents were a little miserable but I don't think the kids noticed much! I was in charge of 4 kids for the day (3 boys including Joel and 1 little girl). It wasn't easy keeping track of all of them with so many other kids there (there was another school their, plus 2 day cares and we had over 100 kids just from our school) but I didn't lose anyone. (Yes, one of the chaperone's lost one of their children but she was shortly found by another parent). Joel had a great time!!

Christian and I have added a drive by the house to our morning routine of killing time between dropping off the little kids at school and time for him to go. We were SHOCKED to come around the corner this morning and see half of the house framed. We had just driven by yesterday morning and it was still just the concrete so to see half of the house framed up was VERY EXCITING. I am hoping as I drive by this afternoon that maybe they will have the rest done. Progress is always encouraging!!

I will update next week after the green gator double header tomorrow. I am sure it will be very exciting!
