Go Vandals!

Although at this point I wish that they would just face reality and go back to the Big Sky. Give me a break...anyway....the girls really enjoyed being able to run free on the field after we watched marching band practice last Wednesday. And even though they just ran drill, with no instruments, for most of the hour, Etta still sat entranced.

Garlic just before harvesting.

Garlic drying, phase 1.

Peas!

Check out these cherry tomatoes!

Don't mind if I do.

We can even share!

First Day of School - Take 2

First day for Bob that is. I had to wake Mae up to get this pic. She did a bit better when everyone left this morning...

More Flowers!

Marigolds from seeds from last year's flowers. (Thanks for letting me know mom!) They are taller than Etta!

One of the first days of potty training. Put on shorts to go outside. Fail. But on a positive note...she made it to Costco and home yesterday with no accidents and the open house at McGhee tonight in big girl underpants. Yay Mae!!

Etta the Red Goes to School

Today is Etta's first day of school. She has been very excited all summer. Last night she was a little quiet about it. And this morning? Well, I think her face says it all.

Posing with her backpack (which you can't see) AND her lunch box. [A big thanks to Sherry Epler for that one.] 

The Welcome Tree outside the classroom.

Her very own locker. This is the best she can do for a smile right now...

Her very own desk.

Mae, on the other hand, was totally ready to stay at school today!!

Pre-K Eve

Etta starts preschool tomorrow. 

Tomorrow. 

I can't even believe it.

Sometimes you have to stop and enjoy the sunset.
