1st day of school

Not sure I'm ready to leave the nest mom.

They have yet to understand these mats are to stay on during the lessons, but they are cute.

Oh how wonderful friends, Claire says

Two of my friends and I started doing pre-school at home. It is mostly for their socialization, but we mix in some abc's and learning activities. We take turns weekly.

When the leaves turn, my mom will come!

Halloween

Claire and her friend Audrey

My mom was great, she made Preston's pirate outfit out of dishtowels from the dollar store in 5 minutes. We scambled around for mouse ears for Claire, Grandma got the dress at a yard sale. I made the leotard out of a pair of my old hosery. I love homemade costumes. They have character. I ruled out dressing up this year myself. Next year David wants to do Nacho Libre as a famiy. Claire will be Esqueleto since she is the scrawny one.
