school days

recently afton had picture day at school... me being cheap (and hello, this is pre-k, not graduation!), i didn't buy the school package. i did however take a couple pictures that morning before sending her off to school for the day. these are a couple of my favorites:

and since rayna didn't want to be left out, here's a few more of my favorites:

and that afternoon, they were playing school, afton's the teacher "cause i know how now cause i go to school" i liked the hello-kitty-school-desk-tablecloth-thingy :) and all the books lined up. malachi was being troublesome, so he got religated to the bumbo, which he's far too big for, and which worked to keep him seated approximately 2 seconds (aka, just long enough for the picture... he sure earns the nickname

"Trouble!!!")

the bread was great, we loved it, we were hoping the broccoli would be similar to roasted, it wasn't as good. we'll probably stick to roasting it in the future the only trick with the bread (and most veggies) is to brush a little oil on them so they don't stick. we used olive oil on the bread.
