The return of footie jammies?

Yes, we are experiencing a beautiful, warm Autumn weekend, but the Erickson girls were determined to sleep in their winter pjs last night. Who am I to argue when they look so darn cute. Plus, I'm really into picking my battles, especially at bedtime, and I wasn't up for the footie jammie fight.

So here they are all cozied up for a long winters nap:

On the 12th day of being back to work...

All right, we are still here enjoying life and an ice cream treat 12 days into me being back at work and the girls living the dream we call Stepping Stones (an all day preschool/daycare).

Elsie and Margot are really, really, enjoying school. I mean, really, I keep waiting for you know what to hit the fan, but things have just been truck'n right along.

Life being a kindergarten teaching is going really well too. It helps that I have a magical staff I teach with who look out for me and make sure I'm I'm keeping up with the times.

Oh, and I should mention that Mr. E. has also been a real gem in the splitting up the parent/house/laundry/ work again. It's feeling like Team Erickson around here.

OK, an adorable pic of the girls enjoying ice cream is below. I'm off to pack lunches, plan my lesson for tomorrow, unload the dishwasher and make sure we all have clean clothes. Not much time for any BRAVO TV watching.

First Day of School!!

Today was a BIG day in the Erickson household. I (Anne) went back to teaching kindergarten after a 3 year summer vacation, which meant the two little Erickson girls started their first day of preschool. We all had a great day!




Here's Elsie and Margot heading out the door for school. They start in the same classroom in the morning and in the afternoon go to a different classroom with their age group. They did wonderful!!


Here's my back to school picture. Margot had JUST woke up and wasn't too keen on getting a picture taken. Early bird Elsie was ready to roll and thought it was supper silly to wear one of my shoes!

We will see if the blog can survive with a working mom...
