A little behind

Ok, so Halloween was two weeks ago. But here are Spidey, Darth, the witch and Tinkerbell.

Safari

Last weekend Yaya and Aunt Wanda took Elliot, Elsie and I on a Wild Animal Safari somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Georgia. Both kids were a little unnerved by the giraffes sticking their heads in the old, windowless schoolbus we rode through the winding road of the park. But they loved feeding the big fat pigs and longhorned cow, talking to the lama and laughing at the stinky camels.

Maggie's Holiday Parade 2010

It's no surprise that Maggie's Morning School, where Elsie attends the 3 year old class, is so much fun, given that the founder is Miss Maggie, pictured here as "laundry". Here are a few pictures of Elsie with her friends, Sarah and Virginia, during the parade through the Chuck E. Cheese parking lot on Friday.

Elliot reads Elsie a bedtime story

So I think this is one of those great parenting moments, when you can pass something off on one of your kids. Click here to see Elliot read a section of "Cooking With the Cat".

Soccer

Last Monday was the first day of Celtic soccer for Elliot. It would be an understatement to say that he loved it.

RUF Fall Gathering

So about 60 students traveled to Magnolia Springs State Park - 90 miles from Savannah - this past weekend. These little students went with them. Elsie's friend is Anna Kate - one of Elliot's favorite people. It was perfectly chilly in the morning and clear and sunny in the afternoon. Elliot played lots of soccer, and Elsie built many dirt/twig/mud huts and generally got very dirty. My favorite part was the dance party on Saturday night where I got to dance around as if I were not really 35.
