Week one

Preschool artwork

Preschool artwork

We are one week (and two days) into the whole school thing. So far we have a new wall of artwork, an improved drop-off. Today’s went like this: him saying “yeah, bye mom!” and me saying, “don’t I at least get a hug?” Today we also got our first fundraiser packet?!?! Really?!?! My son is 4yrs old and one week into school and they are asking him to go door-to-door to sell candy and wrapping paper. Hmm… The cover letter said this year we get two options, sell stuff or write a big check to the PTO. Ummm…. I’m going to take option 3 – do nothing! They don’t even say what we are raising funds for. Maybe everyone knows this but me? Welcome to school!

Eve on camera

Eve got herself dressed the other day, including hat, coat, shoes, backpack, etc. Why? She was going to the meeting. What meeting? Watch…

After dropping Lex off this morning we came home and parked the car outside. Getting out she noticed the leaves on Alan’s car and got very happy about the car being “all leafted.” :)

Leaf clean-up

Just as I was starting to think about raking, Lex announced his own leaf clean-up solution: pick them up and store them in an old cream cheese container! He got started today :)

Little Miss Eve in Hello Kitty PJs

This is what Eve wore to drop Lex off at preschool this morning.  Heads were turning!  (in a good way, of course!)  All of the grownups were gushing over how adorable she is and even some kids came over to chat with her.  At one point she put the phone to her ear and called Mema.  “Hi Mema.  We’re at Lex’s school.  He’s in preschool.  We are dropping him off.  Goodbye Mema.”  Later in the car she called Popcube.  “Hi Popcube.  We dropped Lex off at preschool.  Yes.  Goodbye Popcube.” :)

The whole ensamble and behavior made me think of college.  Wearing PJs and flip flops, coordinating cell phone.  Yeah, it’s going to come way to fast!!!
