1/27/09-This week is Catholic Schools Week. Today's theme was dress like a career person...what Madison wants to be when she grows up. She picked a teacher. I put her in nice clothes and a pair of my old glasses. Then we sent her with a ruler, a notebook, an apple, and a "sound bag". Her teacher does a sound bag for each letter of the alphabet. She loads a bag full of items that start with the letter they are working on. We picked several items that started with the letter M. Madison’s teacher Mrs. Rynearson loved it. They even went through Madison’s bag and looked at everything! What a hoot!!! Madison was so excited to go to school this morning and I think she really enjoyed wearing my glasses for a little bit (hopefully she'll never have to really have them).

The last picture is of Ethan in his paper hat he made at school. It's hilarious because it's so big on him. Him and I had some fun playing with it when we came home from school. I think he thought it was funny because it fit me. How blessed am I to be a mom to these great kids?!

My Grandpa Burt has said for years, "This world would be a sad old place without little kids in it." He is so right!
