Blake's Open House and Rodeo

Blake came home from school with a letter letting us know we needed to make a stick horse for the Kindergarten rodeo. Sounded like a great family project (ha) or more like a great project for me. Brent took the boys to the Baylor basketball game and this is what I got to do in my free time while they were gone. It basically took the whole time, and I gave up on all the sewing my neat little how-to's recommended. Lets just say that the hot glue gun and I became good friends. Here is the finished product...


We were to take the horse to open house and the rodeo was the next day. At open house Blake loved showing us all his masterpieces he had been working on.

Each Kindergarten class puts together a class quilt and it was displayed at open house.

I liked Miss Wolfe's quilt because it had their class picture in the center

I asked Blake to please, please be careful with the horse at the rodeo. I let him and Ben play with it for a little bit once Blake got home, and then quietly took Mr. Horse and hid him. He will be making his second debut in March 2012 when Ben comes home with a note announcing the wonderful stick horse project!!
