Backyard and preschool

We recently had the brick walkway torn out and new grass put in the back yard. It was so green and pretty. It's getting colder now and the grass is looking less green, but I am pretending that it is still summer...

 Harry LOVES the sandbox. He could play out there all day if I let him.

 Calvin started preschool earlier this month. He was so excited to go to his first day! It was orientation so I got to go with him and see what his day is like.

 The preschool is two blocks from our house. It takes 8 minutes to walk there. I love it!

 I would have taken more pictures, but it is a co-op preschool so they were showing the parents what we will have to do on our working days there as well.

This is the circle room.

 Calvin's "sit-upon".

 Calvin's teacher asked him to help do the calendar! He got to put the apple on the calendar and use a stick to point to the day, the month, the date, and the year. He was so happy!

 He wanted a picture in front of his school.

 They ask that the kids use a tote bag so that it's easy for the working parents to open to take and put mail inside. So, I let Calvin bring his super cool Spider Man lunch box from Rachel. He was very happy!

We had a great day! He is a little less excited to go to school now, but once he is there he is fine and always has fun.
