Swan Diving Practice

The little girls were "practicing" the other night.

(September 26th)
Leaping from the piano bench to the couch.
I know that I should have told them to stop,
but it was just so fun to watch them.

Red Ribbon

Red Ribbon Week is so much fun!
They dress up, learn lots, and have a blast.

Wednesday they had a magician who came in whose theme was
Magic with a Message.
One thing he discussed was how important reading is.
If you can't read, you can't find out how to stay safe.
For example, if you are put in a box, then have swords put in the box.
You will need to be able to read the instructions
so you can stay safe in the box full of swords.

The dress up day they like the most is Crazy Hair Day!!
The little girls even had to participate that day.
We spray painted everyone's hair.






It took a few washings to get it out.

Preschool: Bikes and Trikes

For preschool the week of the 12th, the theme was bikes.
So easy.
At first I thought I would have a hard time coming up with ideas.
And it was quite hard to find good books to read to the kids.
I really like to read a book that goes with the theme.
But I found this one:

Duck on a Bike by David Shannon

After talking about safety and why riding bikes is good for us,
We (meaning they) just rode around.
I used sidewalk chalk and made a trail for them to follow.
They had a fun time.
And luckily the weather was pretty good.
It also helps that we are having preschool in the afternoons.
Mainly because the kindergarteners in our area
(which we and another family have)
go in the afternoon.

Where I'm coming from:

This week is Drug Free Week at the kids' school.
I am a strong supporter of the DARE program and have been for several years.
But I would like to share some background so you can better understand where I'm coming from.

I was born into a family that was less active in the church.
(see Mormon.org for any questions)

What do you think?

Anytime Little Miss D plays dress up,
She comes up to me and asks,
"What do you think?"

The girls found Glamorous Graduate's "HIGH-high-heeled" shoes.
And surprisingly, no one broke an ankle!!



Miss K is trying on her costume mid-sew to see how it fits.


Here are the little girls with more than enough hair bows in.
