Nicolas Loves School!

His favorite things about school (parent participation) are #1 the trian table #2 the big sandbox outside and #3 the playdough. We only go once a week but he has so much fun. It is really great for him to gain the experience of playing next to other kids his age. He is even sharing, which amazes me!

Here is Nicolas at the train table...poor quality pic because it is from my camera phone.

This is Nicolas and daddy sharing a cone...

I discovered that I can now post messages and pictures to my Blog from my Treo (mobile device/phone) So this was a trial run. More to come later.

Happy Halloween!

Well, I think that Nicolas is still too young to grasp the whole trick or treating idea...but we still had a great day otherwise! Who needs all that candy anyway?? (uh me!lol!)

We went to the "parade" of students in their costumes in Cayucos with daddy, Daisy and Grandpa Joe. Nicolas waved to all of his "friends" as they walked by in their various costumes.


Nicolas wore his skeleton costume...


and Daisy wore her pumpkin costume. A photographer from the Cayucos Breeze newspaper even took her picture!(not this pic obviously, doesn't she look happy??)


After the parade Grandpa, Daisy, Nicolas and I went down to the beach for some play time. Daisy swam in the ocean and played fetch. We had to cut our trip short...Nicolas was worried because the tide was coming in, so he spent most of his time gathering up his buckets telling me, "Uh OH! The wa-wa is coming! Hurry momma!"

We visited a few neighbors "trick-or-treating" more for the neighbors than Nicolas. We had about 15 visitors to our house tonight...we turned off all the pumpkins but forgot to turn out the porch light and had our last trick or treaters at 9:45! I just dumped the whole bowl of candy in their pillowcase...they scored. LOL!

Well, that is all for now! Happy Halloween!

BTW Here is our pumpkin we carved this year...Nicolas held my hand as I scooped out the seeds...he told me, "Too messy mama!"


Oh...and my funny story for the day...Nicolas was yelling "what is Daisy doing?" and laughing in the playroom. I was nearby in the office. I told him to come talk to me...he said "daisy funny momma!"

I asked him what she was doing..."eating a lollipop" Sure enough, Nicolas said he gave her a red one. She had eaten the whole thing...tootsie roll center and all. All that was left was the stick that was stuck between her molars that she kept trying to get out. Oh I wish I had a camera then!

Nicolas still laughs about it!
