November

November has come and gone! Isla's personality keeps getting sweeter and sweeter. She keeps us smiling on a daily basis. I haven't been a very good blogger this month, so I'll just provide a smattering of photos and comments to sum up the month. 

Photos

1. Sporting her new winter coat on her way to school.

2. Talking on her phone (a.k.a. monitor)

3. She has decided lately that shirts are hardly a necessity, but sunglasses most definitely are.

4. Most fabulous outfit so far: Onesie, pajama bottoms, knit hat, purse, babydoll, one sock, one tap shoe and her keys. She came up to me wearing this and said, "Bye Momma, I goin' to skoo"

  

 

Watching Her Play

It really is fascinating to watch kids play. I wish I could jump inside their little minds and see what they are thinking. Isla goes to a cooperative pre-school which means there is a lot of required parent involvement. 11 parent helper days! So far, I've done four. Tomorrow is James' first. He's in for a treat. There's nothing quite like herding cats. The first time I was a parent helper is was a bit overwhelming tending to 10 one-two year olds, but eventually you get the hang of it and it becomes very entertaining.

I love watching Isla play when she's in her own little world.

Our Happy Halloween

We had an eventful Halloween weekend. We carved pumpkins and baked pumpkin seeds, put out decorations,  went to a Halloween brunch for Isla's class, marched in a parade and went to a party. By Sunday, we were pooped. Here are few photos from our pumpking carving evening.
