Happy (Almost) Halloween!

I can't believe that October is over. The girls are looking forward to Halloween tomorrow. Ila is going as Super Girl and Ruby has a Bee costume but most days refuses to wear it. Most things that are confining to her, even having the covers over her at night, are things she is slowly getting used to. We have been practicing wearing winter hats around here since it will be a frozen tundra outisde very soon. Something she's not crazy about! It will be interesting to see how she reacts to snow for the first time. And Ila had "Camping Week" at preschool and they got to wear their pajamas to school. She is doing so well and learning so much. The other day she came home signing "The Days of Week" song and I was so impressed! Here's some pictures...

Ila's First Day of School

Ila started preschool this year. She is going two mornings each week for two hours each day. She is loving school...and of course, loving wearing dresses EVERY day. Not that she has to, it's just that she pretty much refuses to wear pants these days. And not that I'm complaining because she looks so darn cute in all her dresses.

Ruby gets pretty excited too on days Ila has school. She gets dressed and puts on her backpack and yells "preschool mama!" all the way there. She looks a little confused when she doesn't get to stay. I keep explaining that she gets to go next year. Potentially, they could be in the same class next year if I choose to do that since they will be 3 and 4 years old. Hmmm...maybe three or four days a week from 9-3? Lots of "me" time sounds good right now! Here's some pictures from the first day.
