Zane's Kindergarten Picture

Well here it is!  Zane's kindergarten picture! I can't believe how much he has grown up in the past 5 years!  He is a crazy, silly, fun loving young man and likes to make others laugh! It seems like only yesterday that he was born!

Fall Festival and Storybook Parade

For Halloween this year I convinced Zane to be David as he loves the story of David and Goliath. We were able to borrow a shepard's costume from the children's Christmas play a few years ago, made him a sling-shot, non-functioning, and he had a bag of  'duct-tape' rocks.  Zane also had a story book parade at school but he no longer wanted to dress up as David but wear his costume from last year and go as Optimus Prime- the leader of the Transformers. Guess it is a good thing I bought the costume big. We didn't go  trick or treating as Zane isn't really into it and it was raining. It will be interesting to see if he chooses to go next year when we live around a lot more kids! We have to drive to Daegu where the other bases are located to trick or treat, there are lots and lots of people there and it is just madness. We stayed home, had pizza, carved our pumpkin and played games. More fun if you ask me!

Zane dressed up as David and trying to bounce!

He found another bounce house! He would have rather stayed in the bounce house all night then go play the games and get candy!

knocking down the cans- he got them all!

Here he had to find the golden egg and he did!

He was given the directions to get all 3 plinko chips in the number 5 and he did. Wonder how he would do on Price is Right?

Can you guess what you do here?

You got it-throw toilet paper into the toilet!

Waiting for mommy to come over with dinner.

He was trying to eat the doughnut off the string and 

was supposed to not use his hands. Of course the hands came out!

Apple Seeds

I have been meaning to blog about this since Zane and I planted his apple seed and I just haven't. I have the time and figured I need to get it done, along with a few other posts.

A few weeks ago in school Zane's class had a unit on apples. They tasted many different kinds of apples and apple products: apple sauce, apple candy, apple pie and I think you get the idea.

We he came home from school one day with an apple seed and asked if we could plant the seed. I had to ask him where and he said in the field behind the house. I figured that was a good idea since it was home to soybeans at the time and is now full of onions.  After we got home from school he went upstairs to find his shovel and get some water. Here are the pictures that go along with the planting.

Starting to dig the hole.

We had to add some water as the ground was a little to hard to dig.

Added the seed. It is there trust me!

Covering it all up.

My little gardener all finished!

Zane does go out and check on the seed to see if it is growing. At first he was asking every hour if it was done growing. We aren't even sure if the seed it still there as they picked the field and have planted onions. Zane does want to help me plant a garden when we get back to the states and is very excited to grow his own vegetables. I am thinking that we might have to plant a small tree in our new home or start one so he can see how long they really do take to grow!
