Happy Girl Ghost

Today was the costume parade at Lil's preschool. Lil was so excited to be walking with one of her good school pals.

Boo At The Zoo

We've been talking about Halloween costumes since July. For a few months Lil' was sure she wanted to be a bag of jellybeans. Mama designed a very cute costume. Then, a few weeks ago, she changed her mind and announced she wanted to be a ghost. Not wanting to have a costume that covered her face entirely Mama turned to Oosje who designed a two piece costume. Last night, Mama set to the task of getting the costume ready for today's events. It turned out cute, and without desigining it to do so, fits nicely over Lil's warm coat. Mr. Eleven is responsible for the creepy make up. After the reactions at the zoo event we will be eliminating the black eyes for Halloween night.



Waiting our turn for the costume contest. Mama thought the kids paraded around and had Lil' all excited for that. She wasn't as thrilled about waiting in line to walk across the stage and see the judges. She just wanted to trick or treat.

First Day of Preschool

Lil's first day of preschool seems to have been a bit hit. She met new friends, colored, napped, ate her meals and came home ready to go back tomorrow.

Her teachers, Ms. Beverly, Ms Brandy and Ms. Lori, all agreed that it seemed like Lil' had been coming to school forever....She jumped right in, like we knew she would.

Here are a few photos of her big day.

Ready to Go....

At school....

Lil' lives to Learn

This morning she wanted to type the following words.

rabbit
zoo
dad
pig
mom

She wanted to know why the "i" on the keyboard looks like this...I...which she insisted was the little "L". Hard to argue with that. She sounded out each word (I only helped her add the 2nd b to rabbit).

Update: When Mr. Eleven got home last night I was telling him about Lil's typing and sounding out the words. A few minutes later she had gathered paper and pens and was writing the words.
She added the word "kid" to the list which is upside down from the rest of the words in the picture.

Boise State Homecoming Parade

Lil' was very excited about the BSU Homecoming Parade. She learned very quickly that if you shout "GO BRONCO'S" you might get candy.
