Wiped

Saoirse is wiped out after a morning at school.

She comes home, requests her pj's, gets her nunny and lays on the kitchen floor while I make our standard Tuesday afternoon grilled cheese (no one else likes them but us and we are the only ones home on Tuesdays).

She does perk up for the actual meal....which today started out with some M&M's.

Saoirse prefers her dessert first.

Bear Down

Ready for another night of football.

This time Mama will not be staying up late only to be disappointed.

(Boo Steelers.)

I think I'll just go to bed...

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

1st Grade gets silly!

We had to catch a baseball in our bags at this house...the reward: full size candy bars.

Good night, monkey!

Pumpkin Carving

We're ready! And possibly as excited as we have been at Christmas...

We'll share the finished product tomorrow.

Too rainy to light the jack-o-lanterns tonight!

Field Trip

Seamie and his class went to the Little Red School House Nature Center for their very first field trip. They explored various Illinois animals and plants. They were instructed by the guides not to run around like "a pack of wild wildebeasts" so that they could observe the animals in the wild. Needless to say we did not see any animals in the wild.

Checking out the view.

Fuzz and snakes.

Crafty

Seamus has created quite a gallery of art work at Preschool this year, but this one takes the cake. Check out this spider hat, coupled with a fine necklace of black and orange beads and a pumpkin with his name on it.

Spooky Swing Set

They are currently decorating the swing set with fake legs, "blood" and spider webs.

What happened to my little scaredy cats?
