Peyton’s Halloween Nails
Second grade has been really rough on Peyton and I. We are having a tough time adjusting and getting in the groove this year. So, I have made a deal with Miss Peyton. For every week that she brings home good reports from her teachers, I will do her nails on Sunday night. And the weeks that she does not get glowing reports, we don't do her nails. This week - good reports = Halloween Nails! There were a few reasons I chose to go this route with Peyton. First off, she's becoming the fashionista! ...

On the Second Day of Zoo Camp
Peyton made it through day 2! When I asked her about her day she said it was GREAT! She never got this excited about the school's day camp she was in all summer. So what did they do today?? Well, she learned about horses and penguins. Which happen to be two of her favorite animals. In the morning, farmer Bob taught her about his farm and how his horses work on the farm. Peyton was surprised the horses had to work! Farmer Bob let the kids pet Duke and told them all about Duke's responsibilities ...
On the First Day of Zoo Camp
Today was crazy! We are in that week before school starts but summer care has ended. I don't have the vacation time to take off work and spend the week with Peyton nor do I have family that I can pass her around to for the week. So I decided to send her to Zoo Camp! The Minnesota Zoo put on a variety of camps throughout the summer. Some are all day, some are half days, some meet once or for a week or for the whole summer! Since I only needed a place for Peyton to go for a week I chose two half ...
