Once there was a snowman....

Jessica's teacher starts the kids off with the days of the week and the calendar business each morning. One of the things she does with the calendar is teach them patterns. This month there are mittens and snowmen in an AAB pattern. Temperatures were subzero yesterday, and the snowman was next in the pattern. "Teacher" asked if the snowman would melt outside today. Jessica piped up and said, "NO! It's plastic!" Not only is she a genius, she's a funny bunny too!

Happy Birthday from Pollyanna

Happy Schmappy Birthday to me!

So, I know this is late, not that anyone is surprised...but I wanted to say thanks to the girls for the fun birthday lunch. ( I wrote proper Thank You notes and delivered about half of them so far..duh.) And then to make it even sweeter, Pollyanna (who has entirely admirable talents) made me a fantastic fondant mad hatter birthday cake! She made the fondant out of marshmallow so it tasted as wonderful as it looked! I took pictures of the art.

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten
Jess woke up on this particular morning in rare form. She usually doesn't care what she's wearing; her birthday suit is just as good as anything else. On this day inparticular, she informed me that she didn't want any bows or bands and that she had her clothes picked out. Was that Kindergarten or 8th grade?
