A Trip to the Post Office

This fall we decided to try a new general schedule for our play group. After planning a lot of activities last year I was ready for something that was a bit more "low maintenance." So each month we are generally taking a tour, having free play, going on a trip, and having a week of preschool type activities. Our first tour was at the post office. The kids loved seing the inner workings of the post office.

Here all the kids are on the scale to see how much they weigh. (No mamas wanted to be involved ;)

Total Weight: 349 lbs!

Seeing how the mail is sorted. Each mailbox in Hannibal has a slot.
Faith choose a Toy Story stamp to mail the letter we wrote to our Compassion International child, Rosalina.

Happy Birthday to Me

On my birthday my family did a great job of making me feel special. The girls helped Jeremy make me this SUPER yummy ice cream cake (a new tradition). They are every bit as good as DQ and so much cheaper.

The girls dressed up and did a singing and dancing show for me. (The treadmill was their "stage")
They also made me this pink & purple crown.
Jeremy surprised me with flowers.
It wasn't a fancy birthday, but it was homemade and a great way to celebrate "29." Now....time to figure out what I want to accomplish before I turn 30. My first goal is to get healthy, so my birthday gift to myself was to join Weight Watchers.
