If You're A Brownie, I'm A Cookie

Growing up, Grandma Kathy told a story to Mommy about when she was a Brownie and how her sister wanted to be one too and said "if you're a brownie, then I'm a cookie."

Well, the kids are going to be Daisies and Mommy is going to be the troop leader. Oy!!

Filling Buckets

Over the past two days, both Clara and Emma have done very nice things for others.

It's nice seeing or hearing about them in such a good way. While these things probably happen often hopefully, it's rare to catch them doing it or hear about it from another parent.

Yesterday, after Clara's class visited the Bookfair, one of her classmates was crying because she didn't want to leave her Mommy. Clara went over and held her hand. The girl asked Clara to sit with her and read her book and sit with her at lunch and Clara said yes. The little girl smiled and off they went.

Today, Emma went to wait for her teacher after the Donuts and Dads program and saw her friend crying because her dad was leaving. Emma gave her a hug a little toy that was attached to her backpack and the girl stopped crying.

They both talked about filling their friends buckets like the story they read at school, and now at home.

Emma At The Bookfair

The kids both went to school with Daddy for the Book-fair's Donuts and Dads event, where they got a munchkin and visited the book fair.

After, Emma's class came and visited.

And Mom's Off

Off to the 2 Day Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Woo hoo!

Ask the kids and they say "Mom is doing a 2 day walk." They made posters today as only they would! Clara even did some during her IVIG treatment.

Emma tried to spell "Mommy" by herself- it says "mame."

Clara As Aunt Alyssa

For anyone that remembers Alyssa at 5, this will bring back memories. Because Clara walked a dog that barked etc just like her Aunt did...

Emma's Pumpkin Pal

Today was Emma's turn. She is quite proud of her creation!

Clara's Pumpkin Pal

Mommy went to Clara's class today for Pumpkin Pals, where the pal comes to help the kindergartner decorate their pumpkin. As anyone that knows Clara might guess, she worked on her pumpkin until the very end.
