Jordan Starts Preschool!

This week, Jordan started preschool 3 mornings/week.  Pepa was here to see him off on his first day.

After dropping Gigi off at school, we went to school and Jordan called Daddy to have a chat.

His first stop was the kitchen but we then went outside where we started every morning.....at the playhouse for "breakfast".

Gigi looks very pensive on his second day

Dropping Gigi off...

And, saying hello to "Piggie" the guinea pig on arrival.

Making mama some waffles with mustard and a banana and corn.  Yellow food is in today.

Jordan also hammered golf tees into styrofoam.  All in all, he had a great first week.  He easily said bye and hugged Mama two out of three days.  He was so tired on his second day that he fell asleep at the lunch table.  He is loving school just as much as Gigi.

We love our NannyG

We had a day off from school this week and NannyG helped me and my friend make homemade play-doh.  We mixed it up and added food coloring.

When it was time for lunch, nothing else than Mickey peanut butter sandwich.

And, on Saturday, I was on the porch while Mama gardened, playing with my "Play-Doh".

Peace, Love and a little Wonder Woman and Batman

Gigi's 5th birthday party theme went from Horseland to My Little Pony to Peace and Love.  It landed on Peace and Love until 8 days before the party when Allen thought that Wonder Woman should come.  After all, Gigi loves her and she is going to be Super Girl or is it Bat Girl for Halloween?

Of course, in LA, anything is possible.  But the only company who still had WW available required that another super hero accompany her so we chose Batman.

So, the cake and other party favors still were peace-y and love-y.

And, as per usual, the kids started out the party playing with the lemonade stand and other toys.

"Hello?"

And then a little over an hour in, Wonder Woman arrived with her cohort.

Gigi was excited and surprised.  But then realized that a really scary, masked man with a cape was in her house.

And she cozied up to Grandma as WW and BM started to get the guests ready for super hero training.

And the training began!

Soon, Gigi was not hiding behind grandma or clutching onto her leg, but she was fully engaged in learning to become a super hero.

After the training was over and everyone took the oath, the superheroes set out to find hidden treasure.

WW spotted it in the neighbor's yard.

Everyone agreed that WW should go retrieve it in case there was something tricky about it.

Only Gigi, with her super powers from being the birthday girl, had the ability to open up the treasure to share the loot with her friends.
