Meghan's First Day


Meghan and I went to orientation Monday, and she started school Tuesday. She has school 8:30-11:00 and 12:00 to 2:30 - an hour to eat and play! Tomorrow she rides the bus for the first time this year - she'll be with all the Evergreen kids - up to 6th grade. She gets on about 7:15. Jenna starts Wed this week, just get on the bus and go - she knows where she's going. Jenna led Mark to Meghan's classroom Thur when he took her - it's a maze to get back there. I'm looking forward to having some time to actually clean the house!
Meghan's school collects box tops for a fundraiser, so if anyone wants to send'em this way, go for it. They also can get points from Target credit cards, Haggen grocery stores and searchandgive.com (?)
We have our Halloween costumes almost done - we're pirates this year, so I went to a thrift store and got white shirts, vests, jackets for Meghan and me, pirate hats, belts, a cool orange batik scarf for Jenna's head. I have burgundy fabric to make sashes, and all of this will last for some time, so lots of pirate play will be had - Aaarghh! I got out the Halloween stuff today - they were playing with gloves, cat's ears, funny glasses, butterfly wings, wigs. Meghan was bending the wings around her to be a caterpillar in a chrysalis! Now to get cracking on 3 pinatas!
