Today I am thankful for attentive teachers and kind school nurses.

Eve went on a nature hike with her class today. Her teacher told me when they returned to the classroom Eve pulled her shirt up (she’s a classy girl!) and the teacher noticed a tick on her stomach! I guess she had her jacket unzipped during the hike and at one point she tripped and fell. The teacher thinks the tick probably hopped on right then. Eek! I spoke with the nurse after pickup and she said Eve was a top notch patient. Of course! The nurse had removed the tick and kept it in a bag to show me. She asked if I wanted to keep it (ick!) and I said no thanks. I did want to take a picture, but my camera was in the car :) The nurse had removed it and cleaned the area and applied anti-bacterial stuff and a band-aid. Eve was well taken care of. I’m thankful the teacher noticed and I’m thankful the nurse took care of it. I’m sure I would have noticed in the tub tonight, but I’m happy someone more qualified (and medically trained!) than I took care of it instead.

Today I am thankful for curly pigtails.

It’s 6am and my family is wide awake and raring to go.  We have been up for hours! Alan has already left for work. It’s going to be a long day and the pigtails are making me smile.  :-)

These colors always remind me of Tupperware from the 80’s.  How’s that for a random Sunday morning post.  :-)

Eve decided to eat one.  This is her opinion on raw quince.

Eve’s class at school is learning colors and to that end they are supposed to wear certain colors on certain days. Today is black day and she insisted on ALL black! She wore her black pants and shoes, Lex’s black shirt and hat, and Alan’s black socks, pulled all they way up!  They go well above her knees!  She’s so funny.  She wouldn’t smile for a picture, but she behaved perfectly during our super busy morning of meetings and errands, so I’ll take the crazy face.  :-o

Eve LOVES this new horse balloon. Thanks Greg and Kathy! This morning she decided it was tired and tried to put a blanket on it for a nap. Hilarity ensued as the hovering horse kept slipping out from underneath the blanket, much to Eve’s frustration (and mine that I didn’t have the camera in hand!) Instead we decided to use the blanket for a picnic. Horse got her own plate.

Eve was happy to "help" horse pull her head down to reach the snack.

This is Eve's very disappointed face when she discovered that her new Hello Kitty socks don't fit the horse.

While we ate lunch we decided to play a game of Candy Land. Horse got to play too, with a little help from Eve.

Horse is the red player because she has a red harness and therefore it must be her favorite color. :)

Do you like the stools Eve gathered so the horse could reach the table? I suggested a chair but she insisted stools would be better.

This last one is just a funny picture. You wonder where she gets her energy from?!?

Just kidding, it's blueberry tea and I drank most of it.
