Today was picture retake day and I was having Natalie's pictures re-done. Being the photo Nazi that I am, I offered to volunteer today in the class in hopes that I would be able to help Natalie feel more relaxed as she got her picture taken again . (In her original pictures, her smile looked really forced.) As luck would have it I got in on the Artist in Residence Day.

Here is Mr.
Verdoorn teaching the first graders some painting techniques. It was so great to see all the wonderful things they can learn by having a local artist come in and work with them.

All the students were instructed to illustrate their interpretation from one of the phrases in the book "Owl Moon."

Then they got to use the techniques Mr.
Verdoorn (artist in residence) taught them using special dyes that come from New Zealand.

Afterward I got to sit with her class during lunch. Natalie, of course was a total goof ball!

Right before my first surgery, I was able to help out at
Zander's preschool for their Teddy Bear Olympics. It was lots of fun, but boy was I tired afterwards!

Here is a photo from "Pajama Day" at Natalie's school.

Natalie liked going to school in her pj's!
