day one of the whole year


First day of Lowell Elementary today.  Oh man, i see a busy year ahead... with homework, ice cream socials, and football.. i think i will be kept on my toes. 
Noah had his first day of school today. Kindergarten.. and a full day too.  His new teachers name is Mrs. Pelegru
ti and she has been at Lowell forever.  We first met Mrs. Pelegruti at a Kindergarten bbq held in the school yard.  It was a really nice function put together as a meet and greet for all of us venturing in to K-garten.  Noah has always been a kid that kept to himself.. and as other kids had an imaginary friend.. noah did not.  Noah chose to have an imaginary teacher. Her name, Mrs. Light. Mrs. Light liked to argue with me about exactly what noah should be doing.  If i said it was time to clean up.. noah said mrs. light said he didnt have to .. and so on.  So the day we walked up to his new real life teacher the look on his face was priceless.  It was like introducing him to Santa Clause. He was so happy. 
Parker has a fun teacher this year named Mrs. Mosied.  She
 sings with a guitar to the kids and wears leopard print tops and heels. She reminds me of my high school spanish teacher Mrs. Carhart.  And if she is anything like her, Parker will have an adventurous year for sure. 


Last week the kids and i went blueberry picking.  My friend amy has a friend in her knitting group that has 40 blueberry trees... amazing.  It was actually re
ally fun and relaxing.  the berrys were big and sweet and there werent any spiders or bugs.. surprisingly.  We managed to get a whole bag full and then came home, made a blueberry tart, and watched the gnome mobile.  Needless to say the berries were so good,  we had them all gone by the next afternoon.
