preschool snapshots

some recent preschool snapshots of playing at the sand table, making a mouth for dental week, building tall towers, and lots of fun at circle time.

eight years!

today is my eight year work anniversary of running the theatre.  (it feels like way more than that!)  my job is truly bizarre, but i do like it and i'm very grateful to be able to do it!

get out there and support local live entertainment!

here are some photos from the past year at work.

pumpkin muffins

ryan had to work on saturday, so noah and i stayed inside to stay warm and made some pumpkin muffins.  the little muffin man had a lot of fun making them and eating them!

grandma's pasta fagioli

i have always loved my mom's recipe for pasta fagioli.  noah apparently loves it too because he scarfed down lots of it recently when mee-maw made a batch!

love, laurie

groundhog noah

noah's preschool celebrated groundhog's day last week in the cutest way.  the kids decorated "happy groundhog's day" headbands to wear, did an art project where they made a groundhog, and then got to each take a turn being a groundhog and popping out of the groundhog borrow.  so clever.

our jobs are weird

we have weird jobs.  espeically making a concentration camp costume for the emcee in cabaret.  i always like to leave little tricks in my costumes.  bonus points to anyone who can spot the hidden easter egg in this costume piece!

static hair!

it's so incredibly dry this time of year and the static is out of control.  point in case: noah's hair which was literally standing on end after playing on the carpet!

love, laurie

a sweet memory

thinking back to when mr. noah was only 5 months old and wearing my brother's noah's ark outfit from when he was a baby and thinking of uncle jeffrey today.

love, laurie

preschool snapshots

noah was only at preschool one day last week because school was canceled on monday because of the snow storm, and then he was out wednesday through friday because he was so sick.  he's a lot better now and back to school this week.  last week during his one day at school he managed to build with the wooden train tracks, play with orange play doh, and get his hair styled by helen!

i need to hibernate

last week was such an incredibly tough week.  we were challenged with a major unexpected event which gave us whiplash.  all we want to do is hide under a pink fleece blanket like leko does.

life is so insane, unpredictable, unfair, and bizarre.  we're going to need a moment to navigate through this chapter.

give grace to those around you because you never know what battles they are fighting. 

love, laurie
