Claire is in Pre-K!
We had a little photo shoot this morning.
I’m not sure if you can tell from these photos, but she was BURSTING with excitement.
I’m not sure if you can tell from these photos that I am too! Eight hours a week to myself? Alone with my thoughts? Being able to write without interruption? Being able to do anything without interruption?
Look out! I may just be able to take over the world.
…or at least be able to get dinner figured out ahead of time.
Claire thinks the guys at the carwash near our house do a MUCH better job of vacuuming out the car than the guys at that OTHER place.
I agree, but I keep telling her that guys at that other place are REALLY only responsible for changing the oil.
I don’t know which is more magical: the lightning bugs or watching Claire chase them.
The little Iowa Farm Girl inside me is bursting with joy.
I promise to post photos when we get back to reality.
We hope you had a fabulous holiday weekend!
Posting will be relatively light as we wrap up May
and jump into June!
Last night, Claire & I were playing around with her Statue of Liberty snow-globe, one of her most prized possessions.
I love the reflection! This picture reflects us, the fun that the two of us are having, and the fact that our life is as cheery as the colorful drapes in her room.
I love it!
As annoying as those little coupon dealies are that hang off the shelves in the grocery store aisles, they DO serve nicely as run-away-cart stoppers. *ahem*
Looking out into the backyard:
Daddy: Ugh! Look at all those weeds!
Claire: Where? …Between the dandelions?
The eternal struggle isn’t between man and weed…it’s between Daddy’s definition of weed and Claire’s definition of the most beautiful flower rivaled only by the rose.
I’d love to take a Fajita Field Trip to Spanish Johnny’s…who’s with me!?
I hope we see Libby and Hurley there.
I decided to walk Claire home from school today, rather than drive. I just had to take advantage of this gorgeous day! (It’s just a little bit windy today, as you can see by her hair and her “flowers” that she picked along the way… They say we’ll get gusts of up to 80-mph today!!)
What an awesome day! It’s sunny & warm! There’s not a cloud in the sky…
…because they’ve all blown away.
