Watch D.O.G.S. Day!

Today was the much anticipated Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) Day for Heath where he got to spend the entire day at Carter's kindergarten. He wore his special shirt which denoted him as a Watch Dog and the 2 of them left for school together at 7:15am. Heath's first job was to help the students unload from their cars during drop-off. Then he spent the morning helping in the computer lab with the 4th, 2nd, and 1st grade students. At lunchtime he got to eat with Carter and then stayed thru the whole lunch period, helping and interacting with the students. Apparently Watch Dogs are pretty popular among the kids! In the afternoon Heath got to go to Music with the class and then helped Ms. Goldman in the classroom till the end of the day. After telling us about his day, Heath fell asleep on the couch--I think he'll keep his day job, but he sure had a good time! What a great program for both the dads and the students.

Texas State Fair

We have lived in DFW almost 11 years and had only been once to the State Fair. So, when Carter brought home a free ticket from kindergarten, we decided we'd go again and see what the boys thought of it. We knew it would be crowded on a weekend, but it was REALLY crowded. We got there early though and were able to do everything we wanted to: "Little Hands on the Farm", petting zoo, car show, dog show, and eating some fair food with Big Tex. The kids were real troopers. It was a fun time with lots of good photo memories.
