Brrrr--It's COLD Outside!

I glanced out the back window and noticed this poor little guy desperately trying to keep warm. 

On A Day Off From School...

Noah awoke early, skipping his opportunity to sleep-in, and joined me for a day at Little Lambs.  After Circle Time, Noah joined me in the "quiet" room. 

Noah enjoying a "picnic" with friends.  He was well fed!

Noah was a real trooper and allowed the first group of kids to select anything from the dress-up box for him to wear--his first "get-up" was tame in comparison to...

the next dress-up request.  Whatever the the boys and girls asked him to wear, he did with a smile.

The second group of children invited him to another feast.

Noah was relieved when "Free Choice/Center Time" ended.  He read, "Baby Bear, Baby Bear What Do You See?" for one of our "Five Senses" books.

Tuesday was a warm, sunny day in Ohio, so we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and took the class outside for an extended time at the "big" park.

Noah, thanks so much for joining Mom on your day off.  I really enjoyed having you by my side.  The class adored meeting you and playing with you!!  Thanks for being such a trooper!!

Halloween 2011

Halloween 2011

Westerville, Ohio

Not long before Trick-or-Treat this crazy, Halloween storm blew through the area dropping...

Halloween hail.

With in the storm's fury, a faint rainbow...

arched over the neighborhood.  Thankfully, the weather cleared and trick-or-treat was fun for all!

Noah dressed on Halloween for Language Arts class as a character from one of his favorite adventures:  Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit, from "The Hobbit" by JRR Tolkein

Before heading out for trick-or-treat, Noah was invited to a friend's house for a "Spooky Dinner". 

Enjoying hot cocoa before returning for a brief  Round 2 of trick-or-treat.

Friends being silly

Comparing and trading loot

Happy Halloween
Noah and his friends as a "nerd", "bumblebee" and "box"
