What Kaitlyn Learned in Preschool This Week

The Green Room at the Fair

So we went to the fair tonight, Utah State Fair. The cow manure and white trash were plentiful. We rode down the big yellow slide and went the FFA kids area. The girls paid a buck each to see a 13ft alligator (last year it was the World's Smallest horse). We did something that we haven't done before though. There was a green room (green tent to be exact) at the fair. You know, like what weathermen use to show the 5 day forecast. I believe that Ron Burgundy also used one ("Stay classy San Diego!"). We had the girls do it. The sat on stools in front of a green screen and then put on green capes so the video camera wouldn't pick up their bodies, just their heads. There were several screens to watch from. The girls had a screen right in front of them that they watched. Kaitlyn didn't get it. She saw her body moving on screen and kept looking down to see why her arms and legs were moving while she was sitting still. Take a look at the video. I talked Tara into doing it as well.

Best Friends

Britney and Kam love each other. Kam is always chasing Brits and biting her bum. Surprisingly, Britney still like to play with Kam. We're trying to get him to stop biting, but puppies like to play. Kaitlyn won't even go outside most days. Kam has been fun. He's sleeps good at night and whines less. He's getting bigger ever day though. Anyone know where to buy a dog sled?

Our New Member of the Family: Kam

Tara and I finally gave in. A good family friend who has a Siberian Husky that had puppies sold us one. He is a cute little dude. The girls went over to their house a couple of times and begged for a puppy. We turned them down. This inspired them for any pet, a turtle, hamster, gerbil, even fish. So today we surprised them with "Kam." Kam is short for Kamchatka (all of you Risk players should be familiar with the location. Kamchatka is a peninsula of land in North Eastern Russia just across from Governor Palin's house. We figured that Kam is an original name and that it has some meaning attached. The girls were so excited to see him. Ashley started to cry. We shot a video of the surprise and I attached it below so check it out. Life is going to change at our house for a little bit. Welcome home Kam!!!
