Christmas in the Park

The TK class decorated a tree for the school.


Cutest Frosty ever!


Molly's favorite display.



I bought orange shirts for the kids to wear over their jackets.  We were one of four classes going from our school and there were several other schools there.  It definitely helped us easily identify which kids were ours.


The kids had a great time.  We stayed a little over an hour and caught an earlier light rail back.  All four classes ended up on the same train.  When I did my dry run last Friday the train stopped at every stop.  Not so much on our way back.  I told the parents and Teacher Katie our stop was next and then we went right through it.  Four classes and not a single person thought to hit the stop request button.  Heh.  We got off at the next stop and had to wait about 10 minutes for the next train North.  The kids were a bit tired at this point and a few started to melt down.  It didn't help that this stop and our final stop were IN THE MIDDLE of the freeway.  Yup, Platform is pretty narrow and then you have the freeway whizzing by in both directions.  Made things a leeeetle nerve-wracking.  

We got all the kids back to class in time for lunch and they were super hungry.  The parents on the field trip all looked a little shell shocked.  I headed to a nearby restaurant with one dad for lunch… and a beer!

Christmas Tree Farm

N ended up driving to Houston to fly home via LAX.  He got in Saturday night after Molly went to bed.  She was VERY happy to see him this morning as she knew that meant we were getting our tree!  It was a tad bit chillier than last year when we were sweating in our t-shirts.









Quote of the day

N to Molly: "Let's go get mommy and wake her up."
Molly: "No, we should let her sleep in. I'm going to close the door so she doesn't hear our noises."

That's my girl!!!!

Miss you daddy


Molly drew N a picture so he would see it as soon as he got home.
