Turkey day

Did the ward turkey trot with Ava and Charlie at 7:30 am in 29 degree weather this am. Brrrrrr but it was fun! Headed to OKC to have thanksgiving tomorrow with the Vincent's. 

Fish funeral

A few months ago we got some fish. It was part of Ava's birthday present. The first two have done awesome but recently we added two more. The first lasted a couple days. The other one lasted a couple weeks so today we had our second fish funeral. Ava at first wanted to bury the fish but I reminded her that all pipes lead to a big place of water like a lake or ocean and that is really a fish's heaven. After finishing the funeral we walked back to the tank to find one of the original two - Rosie- dead.  Sweet Ava immediately said "oh no, we need to take Goldie (the survivor) back to the pet store." I asked why and she explained that we were taking these fish's lives by having them live with us so we should take Goldie back before she lost her life living with us too. She figured she could have a long life at the pet store. We are keeping her though and hoping for the best. 

Pioneer Day

Today was Pioneer Day at Ava's school. I got to go volunteer and it was so fun. They did butter making, soap making, pioneer children's games, candle making, brad making, and got to write with quill pens and see some antiques. Ava was so excited and had a ball. And she makes such a darling pioneer as well. 

More than you can chew.....

I may have volunteered to make 120 dog bone ornaments out of salt dough for the first grade winter parties at Ava's school. Good thing I have the cutest little helpers.
