Thanksgiving 2014 - PreK

So, I've been doing a preschool co-op for Rylee and her friends.  Its been fun, and I can't believe the year is almost over.  She has class twice a week and we all go on field-trips about twice a month. We've done a lot of fun things.  I think teaching around Thanksgiving was my favorite. The story, turkey/pilgrim/indian crafts and snacks and songs.  4 girls (Kelsey only attends at our house) and 1 boy and the only one that would wear the pilgrim bonnet was the boy.  I laughed and laughed that day. These kiddos are so cute.  Its great to have good friends.

For Thanksgiving we had some friends over and it was perfect. Food followed up with a little midnight shopping.

Halloween 2014

 I really am wanting to get back into blogging.  I've used the blog as a resource too many times to just give it up.  And I can't just skip a year. So, I'm going to try to quickly catch up and hit the major holiday's:
First on the agenda: Halloween!
The girls both wanted to be Rapunzel (I joked in case one fell off the tower, we'd have a back-up. . . . which is funny until the children start to repeat what you've said and its sounds quite morbid coming from toddlers), but it worked out great since we already had to Rapunzel dresses. They wanted to do a theme again and I couldn't resist:

I was Mother Gothel, and Michael was Flynn Rider.  It was so fun to wear a long dark wig! Lots of people didn't recognize me :)

Halloween is so fun. I get such a kick out of it, and I love putting together little details: I made little stuffed Pascal the Chameleon to put on the girls dresses, the braid was essential, but I kept having to re-do it because it wasn't working like I wanted it to.  Michael carried around a frying pan and I had a flower.  I was often heard singing "flower gleam and glow" and "Mother Knows Best"

 I couldn't help but put something together for the trunk: the tower and floating lanterns.

I love Halloween!
