Apples to Apples



Pieces is now in the Butterfly Class at her preschool. She requested cheerios with cut up bananas and strawberries for her 1st day breakfast. She also wanted a "new" outfit. Hmmm...since it has been warm still, I haven't purchased any new clothes for her in awhile. What are the odds it would be a crisp fall morning on the first day of preschool?

I dug out a sweater that I found on clearance in the Spring and was saving for this winter, and a pair of jeans that I also purchased ahead of schedule. She also wanted braids in her hair because, "your going to cut it short again soon, I just know it".

She's right, I AM going to cut her hair soon, it is super stringy and thin and she looks adorable with short hair. The braids are pretty cute though, too. Maybe I'll let her enjoy them a little while longer as long as she is letting me style her hair.

I start teaching the Busy Bees tomorrow morning. Quincy is SO excited and so am I. I miss having students. I love being called, "Mommy", but I also wear the title of Mrs. Meg with pride. I love it, and I hope my new little Bees will love it, too.

Fall is here.

I can feel it.
I can smell it.

I bought 162 (not just 160 because Q ate 2 of them while we were shopping) apples today. I LOVE the Associate's Store! It took me almost an hour because the girls were so excited to help and I was... less than patient with them helping. I had to recount the apples like 10 times because they kept adding to bags that had already been counted. I can't imagine how much longer it would have taken us to pick them at an orchard!

Check it out:
10 cents each.
$16 for all those apples! I'm going to make applesauce on Thursday with the girls.
Huge stock pot?
10 bucks.

Hello Autumn. I'm glad you are here.

I am SO stinkin' jealous of your associate's store.

That is the cutest little first-day-of-school-4 yr old sweater I have ever seen.

Reese was so polite and talkative while she was riding around with me tonight. She's growing up fast!

Reese looks like such a little lady! She reminds me of Penny from the Rescuers. I talked to your Mom today. Can't wait to see her in two weeks!
