Peek-a-Boo

First Day

Today was madam's first day at pre-school. Willow has been talking about being a big girl and going to school for months and now the day is finally here. She was super excited, and when she ran into her new buddy Clare outside they found each others hands, and ran first into the classroom. It couldn't have been any easier for her. I have to say that i shed a tear or two walking back home without her. Today is the beginning of a new world, a new world to be explored independently of her mama. I didn't realize how hard it would be to see her go solo but i guess this is just the start of new and wonderful things for my lil' bird. I'm so proud of you. Fly high.

 And she's off. I feel pretty lucky than we are right around the corner and can walk to school.

A comforting arm for Eli.

 Straight to work

The Beach

We spent the weekend with the Dyson family at a beach house in Manzanita. The weather was pretty grey and dreary but the company was great. The kids had a blast running riot on the beach. We got off lightly this year as (lucky for us) madam had no interest in going in the freezing sea.The same couldn't be said for poor Alan who spent the entire time trying to stop Liam going in the water.

Starting the day with donuts for breakfast.

Picture Frame

Will starts pre-school next week so we have a supplies list that I really have to get onto. One of the required items is a family picture in a picture frame so i thought we would make one today. I cut out the card and madam decorated. Now we just have to find a photo of all three of us.

Flamingo

Time to make a start on Will's Flamingo Halloween Costume. I'm thinking of making a basic body shape, neck and beak out of the foam and then covering it in fabric feathers. As always there's not much of a plan so i'm just gonna wing it and see what happens.
