Pumpkin Patch #2






So today it was Camryn's turn to go to the pumpkin patch with her preschool class. John had already booked the day off to head out hunting but decided that he would go to Camryn's field trip first and than go, which Camryn was super excited about!! We all took Janae to school where she stayed till 1pm today and did a great job:)
We went to the Apple Barn which is on Gladwin Road here in Abbotsford. They had a lot of things for the kids to do. I think Camryn's favorite thing was the jumping pillow. It was very cold outside but thankfully no rain.
John left us at lunch to go hunting and will be back on Monday hopefully empty handed!!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip




So on Tuesday Janae's class went to Willowview farms to pick a pumpkin. John decided to take the day off so he could be a volunteer!! This made Janae super happy. Camryn and I met the class at the farm but Janae and Daddy went on the BUS!!! Did you know that taking a bus at the age of 5 or 3 is the most thrilling thing???
Anyways we woke up to rain and it didn't look promising. For the first part of the field trip it poured and then about half an hour in the clouds broke a part and the sun started to shine and it turned out to be a great morning.
Here are some pics from the day. I will post again after Camryn's field trip this Friday to the Apple Barn which John will be coming to as well!! His girls are sure lucky:)

Getting Somewhere

So it has been two really hard weeks in the Jefremow family. Janae has been having some anxiety issue with going to Kindergarten. It was pretty bad for a while where she wouldn't sleep well at night, wake up crying and then not eating. As a mom it was brutal to watch as I didn't know how to help her. Being pregnant doesn't help either with my emotions so these past two weeks were super hard on me and my body.
So after some serious prayer and thinking I decided last week that I would stay for Monday and Tuesday morning with her and help the teacher out. This was great for Janae. Than came Wednesday and I told her I had to bring Camryn to school and then would be back. Well with lots of tears and carrying her to the car(which almost killed me) I got her to school, dropped Camryn off and was back in Janae's class within 45minutes. But then an hour later she told me I could leave as they had recess and gym and she would be fine!!! YEAH. So thursday and Friday she went with her blanky to school, still said but went without a fight! I did visit her at recess Progress!!
Monday morning came and she was all worked up and worried again but got ready and went to school, I visited at recess which didn't work very well cause I was late and so she was balling her eyes out!! Monday evening she shared with me that she likes school and is excited about it but just has problems when we get there and she doesn't know why.
Tuesday I had a doctors appointment which fell right at recess so she was pretty upset about me not coming at recess but when I went to pick her up she said she had a friend a recess to play with so it was ok that I was not there!!YEAH.
Yesterday she went to school with NO TEARS and had an AWESOME DAY!! (When i say day I mean morning till lunch)
Today was another sad day but i know she will get over it and be fine:) We are still only doing half a day and I will continue to pick her up at lunch till I feel she has gained enough confidence in the half day as I really don't agree with the full day anyways!!!.
Ok so that is Janae:)
Camryn is doing awesome at preschool, making new friends. She has a friend from church there already but she keeps telling me how she doesn't want to play with her because she has to make new friends!! I think she has been listening to our constant talks with Janae and is a little confused:) But thankfully she loves preschool and she has been such an encouragement to Janae by sharing things like " Janae when I feel sad at preschool I just dream about Jesus and then I fell better" " today is going to be just like yesterday and you are going to be fine!!!" So cute.
Pregnancy wise I am doing good I guess, or should I say baby is doing fine. I got them to do an ultra sound in their office again to confirm that it really is a boy as I just bought all the "BOY" fabrics for the room;) And yes it is a BOY! I have lost a pound which doesn't surprise me after how stressed out I have been the past 2 weeks. Doctor said I am doing perfect for my weight gain as I was not suppose to gain any!!! Right now I am still under the weight I was pre pregnancy which is AWESOME!!!
The girls went this week to Kids Klub on a school Bus!! They were so excited. They go every Tuesday to a local church for their Awana Program with their cousin. This is something both girls look forward to. Each week they have to learn a verse and do a bible study at home which they love doing. So it is working great. Strange thing is that Janae has no problem leaving me for this just because her cousin who is the same age as her is there! Weirdo.

Ok so that is enough rambling and sorry if it sounds choppy and crazy that is how I write and talk!!!
