So long September

September is cruising by and I just realized I've only given Erickson Blog Fans (also known as my brother and sister) one September blog post. Here are a few photos to get you up to date on our September happenings...



Elsie is now taking a dance class. It's her first "organized" activity. She wears this too cute dance leotard to class and Margot and I try to stay busy for 45 minutes while Elsie learns about jazz hands. Elsie loves her class.


We went on a picnic last week with Grandma Sue and Grandpa Doug. Margot had so much fun rolling around in sand filled with goose poop.





Books, jammies, and smiles...what could be better?




I was able to chaperone on Elsie's preschool field trip to an apple orchard. It was fun to see how the other half lives on a field trip. Much easier to keep track of 2 kids versus 22 students!

Preschool

Today was Elsie's first day of preschool! She bravely walked into her classroom after giving me a hug and kiss and said she only missed us a little bit of the time. I had no time to shed tears during this big occasion because I was wrestling with a wild 2-year-old, but that's a different story. So, here's what I know about Elsie's first day...all things she told me:
She was the napkin helper, they had circle crackers for snack, she didn't really want to play at the playground, and she used stamps for an art project. This is way for than I was expecting to hear about and I loved learning about every minute!
