The last day before winter break, E2 had a pj party at preschool. I kept asking her if she wanted to wear cozy Christmasy pajamas, but she wanted to wear her witch pjs because they are sCaRy. Since she could bring a blanket/pillow *OR* stuffed animal, she chose to bring a reindeer. Sadly (for me), she did not want to stay after for the daycare's holiday party.
E1 did wear her costume for the parade and party but was not wearing it when I picked her up. Sounds like very little school work got done today - not sure why *yesterday* was an early release day; seems like it should have been today.
Sounds like E2 had a lot of fun at her preschool party and after! If she had any more sugar in her, she'd be a human Pixie Stick!
Z ended up not wearing his costume to school. His day? Was like any other school day! Oh well - this big bad 7th grader didn't seem to mind!
Z is again TorT with his friend J. He gets to wear his costume to school tomorrow, however, no masks or weapons allowed. I told him he should go as a Retired Reaper. Or maybe as a Taking The Day Off Reaper.
I made the girls put on their costumes a little early so we could take photos while there was still some light. E2 is a purple ("AND GREEN!") fairy with baggy tights, and E1 is basically the same thing she was last year.
Ready to go! E2 was beside herself with anticipation and wanted to go RIGHT NOW!
After about four stops where E2 cowered behind me, I gave up and brought her home. Fortunately she gets to wear her costume tomorrow to preschool and is staying there for the daycare party too. I wasn't terribly upset because I was not into it this year. I LOVE having a little one who is into the magic of Disney and Fairies and Princesses but I am sooo over Trick or Treating and Santa.
PHEW! Z had a GREAT day! There are people he already knew (and liked) in several classes, he has people to sit with at lunch, he played soccer in gym, he likes most of his teachers, and I am SO relieved!!!
Yesterday E2 made an "All About Me" book.
Favorite Food:
Is...um...uh.....hmmm......oh yes, Spaghetti and Fries!
Favorite Color?
"All of them on the page!"
Favorite toy?
Chocolate Chip Cookies?? "No! Those are soccer balls!"
Do you want to play soccer? "No, soccer balls are just my favorite toy"
(a moment of hope that we wouldn't have to pay for two gymnasts was quickly dashed)
K, E2's future husband, is in her class again! :)
