and majored in Government (at a college that Thomas Jefferson founded)
So it's no surprise that I get excited each and every time I visit the polling booth.
It was even more special today to have two little helpers in tow.
I'm also SO ready for school to reopen tomorrow...
for the first time in a week and a half!
Lexi normally has Wednesday off,
but she will go dressed in her Halloween costume
and ready for the class party.
Because Sandy may have reared her ugly head,
but Fairfield is determined to celebrate the holiday -
at school tomorrow and around town on Saturday.
With our normal routine thrown out the window,
we've been trying our best to keep busy around here.
First up was the great clean up.
Even Lexi was called upon to pull her weight
Though any time there was a pile of leaves to play in,
we lost our little helper.
And while there might not have been school,
there was still fun with the 4's class.
One brave mommy - who got her power back after just one day -
invited all the kiddos over to play
(and their moms over to shower, charge phones and do some laundry).
About half the class turned out, and their basement may never look the same
A certain someone started standing on her own for a few seconds at a time
She also likes to sneak off and start climbing up the stairs.
I think another gate is needed,
because any time I look away for a second,
Ryleigh is scooting around the corner and making her escape
(possibly from her sister?!)
We had our first build-a-bear party, followed by a birthday lunch at McDonald's.
It was only Lexi's second time eating there (in her life),
she was more excited about birthday cake than the world's best fries,
go figure.
And rounding out the fun was a trip to the library followed by 16 Handles
with one of our oldest buddies.
She actually chased Tyler around the library castle
asking if he wanted to marry her!
Instead, they settled on a leaf fight
And now, it's back to the "grind" we go
