wacky wednesday...

ok, what do a jedi, pool noodle, bumble bee and snow white have to do with one another?

first field trip

today we headed to avila barn with maisy's preschool. at first i was thinking maisy and i would just drive up together in our car, but about 2 weeks ago maisy started saying "school bus tomorrow?" i asked her teacher if they had been talking about the trip? miss martha said it's on their calendar and they count to see how many more days until the trip. i have to say we were both excited to learn that maisy really is listening. anyway... we had a wonderful day, the weather was perfect, maisy loved riding on the bus. we picked pumpkins, had ice cream and hung out with our friends. i'd say we had a pretty successful first field trip.

fall festival 2010

remember this post from last year?... once again, miles was super excited to attend his school's annual fall festival. he was so happy that dad was going to be able to make it this year too (he was out of town last year). the weather was kind of yucky, but that didn't stop all the kids from having good time. mr. dana even returned to do the sponge toss. last year, maisy wanted nothing to do with any of the activities, this year, i think she may have had more fun than miles. she was such a good girl. she waited patiently in line, and when she was done, she picked out her candy and walked out. at the end of the night i wanted to get miles' picture in front of the fall festival sign. i didn't even think about asking maisy if she wanted to take a picture she always says no. well, she saw miles and said "maisy take picture now." she got down on one knee to pose, she looked at the camera and even smiled. all in all, a great night was had by all.
