30 September


One of my favorite parts of my job as a teacher of toddlers

is getting to go to the art studio twice a week.

Sometimes the art teacher lets me paint too!





I have been driving into the Wonderland subway stop

instead of taking the bus to work this week.

One day I could only find parking toward the back of the garage.

When I got off the subway and walked up the 3 flights of stairs to my car

I was greeted with this view

 
 pumpkins in the markets on Charles

I will be choosing one to carry back to our class room this afternoon







 We still don't have baby Verne.

Hopefully by this time next week there will be a new grandson for me!



 I love the crisp cool days of early Autumn.

Everything is so pretty and perfect walking weather!

    QUestion: did you draw/sketch those photos of Boston?? We LOVE the Wonderland T stop!! That's the one we would use when our oldest girl was a student up at Gordon College...we drove to Wonderland to park and then take the T into Boston...fun times!! In fact, we were in that general area last weekend!
    Yay for being a toddler teacher...it takes a very special person...is it daycare or a preschool??
    LOVE pumpkins for all kinds of things.
    Happy Weekend!! Good luck with the birth of your grandson!

    What a gorgeous view! We're just starting to have some of that crisp fall air here in TN, and I'm soaking it up. It's so exiting to wait for the arrival of a grandchild!

    Art time with the kids is some of my favorite times of working with preschoolers and toddlers. Love the pencil drawing edit of the street. So pretty.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
