Being a Mommy

Being a teacher definitely has it's pros and cons. One of the biggest cons for me is that I don't get to do the "mommy thing" to help out at school. I would love to volunteer on a regular basis at the school, etc. I did get the chance to do a little of that when I signed up to go with Ember on her fieldtrip. We went to This is the Place Heritage Park and to the zoo. And of course, that day just had to be the day of the first snow storm. (we have had bigger since then!)

This is the sky/mountain up there at the park!

Our first stop was to a small house where we learned about pioneer life. We even got to try out some of the chores that would have had to be done during that time.

Washing clothes 

Ironing

Cooking over a fire

Churning butter

Sweeping

Practicing how to milk on the "milking bears"

Then we were off to another house where we learned about how to make yarn from wool right off the sheep.

Waiting for lunch!

After lunch, we were off to the zoo! These cute girls were so crazy! They wanted to take a picture together at all the statues and things we came to. Here we go!

It was so fun being Mommy. I wish I could do it more often. I think the best part of it all was the fact that Ember was really happy that I was there. It made me feel so special.
