Different Type of SCHOOL

Saw this snack idea in Family Fun (which is seriously like a bible for the mom who can't help herself when it comes to food crafts!) - the grapes are seaweed and the blueberry yogurt is water. It's hard to find a blue food I've discovered! A friend drove Abby home from kindergarten today, which allowed me to get Tyler down for his nap early. When he woke up, we sat around the table and enjoyed this after school (of fish) snack, while we talked about the day. Tyler and I attended his preschool orientation this morning at Advent. He is going to LOVE being in Ms. Cindy's class! All of his buddies from last year are in the class, as well as many kids he knows from around town. They are the older-twos ... so for the majority, preschool is not a new experience. Today he discovered Ms. Cindy's train table, and the "treehouse" (loft) in the classroom where you can relax and read books. Abby had a great second day at kindergarten. She had P.E. as her special area today ... and tomorrow she'll go to Spanish for the first time. Highlights today seemed to be playing mermaids on the playground with a new friend, Taylor, being line leader as they walked to "brunch," and the "graphic" they made on the wall. At first I thought Mrs. Shaw either had a fancy name for poster, or that she was teaching them graphic design on the computer. But it turns out Abby meant to say "graph!" They charted how many boys were in the class compared to girls (9 boys and 8 girls = 17 kids) as part of a math activity.
