School Pictures!

School pictures are in! After last year's debacle, there's a new company servicing our school, providing the same type of service, with less blatant gender-ism. Molly went in saying she wanted to look just like her regular self, so she didn't dress up or do her hair special. When I asked her how it went, she said it was fine, but the photographer wanted her to pat down her hair. Molly said she was fine with that, she didn't really care that much and the photographer seemed to care a lot.

More chicken

Rainbow Chicken

Purple Ninja Alien

Halloween ready

Off to our first Halloween party of the year. Spent a good part of the afternoon finishing our costumes. We've got: a rainbow chicken, a purple alien ninja, Commander Zander, and an identity crisis (Zach, in the back, is covered in name tags).

Sporty Tuesdays

This fall on Tuesdays we do a somewhat elaborately choreographed schlepp to get the kids to their sports: Clara's soccer practice starts 15 minutes before Molly's swim practice, and just ten minutes away; Molly's swim practice ends with just enough time for her to shower and change and for us to zip back and pick up Clara. So far, it's worked out surprisingly smoothly. And they are enjoying their teams! Go mollyclara!

Gymnastics party!

To wrap up her celebrations we had a gymnastics party for Clara at the gym where she goes. It was remarkably relaxing for the parents, and fun for the kids!
(Thanks, Karuna, for the picture!)
