100th day of school...finally!


After the week off, the 100th day of school was a little late. But today is finally the day! I don't recall celebrating this day when I was young, but boy it's a big deal for the KGer's at Claire's school! They get to dress up like they are 100 years old, make 100 collages and 100 trail mix, count everything they can to 100, etc... It was fun getting Claire to look her old. It was her idea to put a pillow under her clothes so she could be the "cuddly, fat, old lady" (where does that stuff come from?). Since this Mommy really didn't want to use baby powder in her hair to make it white, we compromised on a bonnet and she's wearing my old glasses from college with the lenses taken out. She was so funny when I dropped her and her friend off at school...they both walked up the sidewalk hunched over with their hands on their back scuffling their feet like they really were old! Even Landon thought it was funny!

Other things going on:

Landon finally got to start his "big kid" sports class at Gymboree this week (we were either sick or iced in the last 3 times). He loved it and did the whole thing by himself! Afterwards on the drive home he said "Mommy, I'm just exhausted after all that exercising!".

When we were driving to church Sunday, Geoff had brought his bible along and had it sitting on the console of the truck. Claire says "Holy Bible? Why do you have a Holy Bible, Daddy?". Now although that does not sound funny when you say it...think of Batman and Robin, and then say it again!!!
