Kindergarten Field Trip to the KC Pumpkin Patch

Maggie had her very first field trip today and the kindergarten classes went to the pumpkin patch!  Rob went with her and they had a wonderful day to play and explore.  They couldn't have had better weather either!  After the pumpkin patch, they went to a park to eat lunch and play some more!  Here are some pictures of their day:

Homecoming 2012

Yesterday, all of our school went to cheer on the Paola Panther football team at our Homecoming Parade and Pep Assembly.  Maggie was decked out in black and gold, although you couldn't see a lot of it because she was covered to stay warm!  She even had a Panther Paw tattoo and a Panther tail!!  Here are some pictures Maggie's teacher took of our little Paola Panther:

Life Lessons

This week at school, Maggie decided to cut her pants.  When she came to my room after school, I asked her what happened.  The story I got: "Mommy, it was an accident.  I dropped the scissors."  When I looked at her and asked how that could cut them, she proceeded to say "They were open and they were really sharp."  So, I reinacted it with a pair of scissors and my own pants.  Needless to say, my pants were not cut!  When I told her she had one more chance to tell me the truth about what happened, she admitted that she cut them.  Of course they couldn't have been an old pair of pants either.  They were brand new ones!  Well, I told her she was going to have to pay for them since I had just bought them and she cut them.  Last night, we went to Wal-Mart and she had pick out the patch to fix her pants, take it to the cashier, and pay for them with her money from her piggy bank.  Today, she had to help me iron the patch on to fix them.  Hopefully, the lesson was learned and no more clothes will be cut!!
