Rachel's first day of preschool

Rachel, heading out for preschool with her birthday party invitation in hand.
She turns 4 next Wednesday!

My days are getting even more quiet. Rachel started preschool yesterday, and will be going each Tuesday and Thursday in the mornings. On her way to school today she said, "Could you go a little bit faster?" She was not ONE bit scared or nervous. It helps that she's familiar with the routine, having watched Seth attend the same preschool last year.
Totally random...have you ever bought straw? I had the new experience of buying a bale at our local Farmer's Co-op. We reseeded our lawn in the area that was ripped up by the water line fix, and out here, people cover grass seed with straw. I guess it protects the seeds from squirrels, birds and other hungry creatures, and also locks in a layer of moisture for the seeds to take root better. We learn new things each day...
Also...one bale of straw goes a LONG way! And it only cost $5! I couldn't believe how much ground it covered. And it was really fun to spread around. Feels like we should have a barn dance out on our front lawn!

Rachel is too cute! I love that she asked you to go faster...it makes it easier to leave them. I love her pink backpack... she looks so grown up!

Maybe you SHOULD have a barn dance in your front lawn--but no dancing for you Val, we don't want the baby to fall out!
