Pickle Day!

Today Piper's class celebrated Pickle Day!  They made a grid of a few different types of pickles, tried them, and charted which ones they liked and which ones they didn't like.  Piper only liked a plain cucumber.  But hey, you can't have a pickle without a cucumber so it's a start!

School is so fun :)

School night ice cream trip

Tonight we took the girls for ice cream before school starts again tomorrow.  They were in the present moment, thinking about their ice cream. I was in the future, thinking about the stain stick.

 

 

Dress up Monday

 

What could be better than throwing on some nice dresses and head accessories after a long day of school?  Nothing, according to these ladies!

A little sister playtime

Sunday at the park

Today we spent some time at our local park, and Daddy and Piper took a moment to pose for a quick picture. :)

Her sweet ride

The director of TenderTime drives the school drop off/pick up van with Piper and one other girl.  She took this picture to show me that Piper was happy and smiley as she waited for her time to enter the building.  The other girl goes to a different school that starts earlier and she gets dropped off first. So then they drive to Piper's school and wait until the building opens up for students - about 15-20 minutes.  During this time, Lita lets Piper use her cell phone to send Dan and I text messages.

On this morning, Piper had has a particularly tearful drop off at TenderTime,so I appreciated seeing that she recovered quickly :)

The other interesting thing is that the girl who rides in the van with Piper?  She and Piper are frenemies.  They are like oil and water, those two.  So the van rides can get a little tense at times.  Thank goodness Lita runs a tight ship, and doesn't allow any nonsense to go on for too long.

The class

Here's a picture from Piper's kindergarten class on their first day.  Piper, not surprisingly, is seated front and center ;)
