I'm all giddy with excitement today.  Nathan announced to us a couple of weeks ago that his Kindergarten class would soon have their first field trip.  After waiting patiently for info to be sent home in his backpack regarding the details of the field trip, something FINALLY came late last week!

I am one of those moms who wants to attend and volunteer for EVERYTHING possible related to my kids' school…especially my first Kindergartner!  I remember as a kid, my mom being the one always present at my class parties, field trips, track and field days, assemblies, and so on.  Fast-forward to me becoming a mom six years ago and when I thought about the school days I knew I'd always be an involved parent – probably to the point of annoying the teachers.

Late last week it was announced that only a certain number of parents would probably be selected (at random) to chaperone the class field trip and that if we were interested in doing so, to let the teacher know.  I sent her an email AND a note in Nathan's backpack.  See, I told you – annoying.

Well, today Nathan walked in from school to tell me he had a great day and that I WOULD BE ONE OF THE PARENTS accompanying them on the upcoming field trip!  We both started jumping up and down and for a moment there, I was totally acting my shoe size and not my age!

So, I am counting down the days till we get to go to Kaleidoscope, as we've not ever been there and I know it's one of the best hands-on activity places in Kansas City.

I'm curious – what sort of things do you find yourself getting giddy over when it comes to your kids?  ♥
