MOPS, Field Trip and Open House

Yesterday was quite the busy and fun day for us. Rebekah & I had our first MOPS meeting of the year. I help with Publicity so we had fun seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Rebekah even decided to play in the nursery for short bursts of time. She seems to prefer being strolled in the triple stroller with the other criers up and down the halls. We are pleased with how far she's come in a fairly short time.

Dropped her off with Daddy after MOPS so I could dash to school and join Andrew for his field trip. We got to attend a Pow-Wow and learn all sorts of things about Native American culture. I learned a lot of interesting things that I didn't know. We got to talk to a woman who makes traditional Native American clothing and she told us about the regalia they wear for Pow Wows. We learned and saw some beadmaking skills. She had the most intricate designs. It was a lot of fun and Andrew even let me sit with him on the bus.

Last night we had Open House at school. Nathan seems to really love school. We couldn't leave until he took us to the library and gym and told us about music and art. We also saw his room where he sat in his teacher's chair and "taught" a mini-class for us. We learned about Mr. Spacer who helps us put spaces between our words and he read us the classroom news. Andrew's room has a class pet--Mexican Jumping Beans. Andrew showed us around his room while Rebekah kept taking one nametag off of a desk. I hope the nametag still sticks after her 'help' with it.

By the time we got home, I was worn out! It was great to see snippets of what goes on in their school lives every day. They both have excellent teachers and they both love school.
