The homeschool volunteer opportunity for December was to work at the humane society in Wichita Falls. The email that was sent out said responsibilities would be walking and playing with the dogs and brushing the cats. Now that is volunteer work we can get excited about! All the kids signed up, even Donna and Ashley. It was alot of fun. We started out with the cats but all ended up together walking the dogs. Or having them walk us. Why do little kids always want the biggest dogs? Anyway we even made it home without any extra pets. Success!

Slaughtering A Cow
Well, you all know I am all about experiencing new things, but this was a stretch even for me. A sister in our church was slaughtering a cow yesterday. She happens to live next door to the church so I thought why not let the kids watch? It might be educational. Maybe teach them to appreciate food and the effort it takes to get on their plate? Besides how many kids get the opportunity to see the inside of a cow? So, the pics are pretty self explanatory.

| Cow heart. |
 |
| Cow liver. |
 |
| Skinned head- EEEEWWWW! |
 |
| The meat.
Believe it or not all the kids, even Donna and Ash, were absolutely fascinated watching this. We watched for just a little while and I was seriously getting cold! So we left. Lily and Lacey started crying! They wanted to keep watching, and all the other kids wanted to watch so we grabbed our jackets and went back. We watched to the bitter end. And even brought some beef home with us.
