Tessa has her own locker outside the classroom and it also happens to be just her size! She loves this shirt and carefully laid out her clothes the night before. She looked very cute! She had absolutely no worries about her day. She's been at the school so much with the boys' activities and PTO stuff, it's very familiar. After we dropped off Zach at a friend's home, she got the giddy, excited giggles, clapping her hands as we got closer and closer to the school! She was so thrilled that it was hard to be too sad (although as we walked in and greeted her fabulous teacher, whom Scott had in K as well, the tears popped out of nowhere!).
I sneaked a quick photo of her in action. We had played a game to put all her supplies away and then they got play time. She was happy to be in the same class as twins, Avery and Maia, who were on her soccer team last spring. This playhouse area is her favorite spot during free choice time and I hear all about it each day. : )
After her short morning at kindergarten, we picked up Zach, and Tessa wondered if we could meet Dad for lunch at "a fancy place". Where was this fancy place, you ask? Yep, good old McD's. : ) (I was secretly hoping for someplace a tad fancier, but it wasn't my special day...!) Zach and Tessa enjoyed a little Playland time afterwards, while I got teary watching them spend their last "fancy lunch" weekday together for awhile....
Zach and I made a fun purchase today on our SuperTarget run: an official "Piderman" outfit (that's how Zach pronounces his name...) Not only a great Halloween costume, but will provide hours of make-believe fun! (Currently his only other "dress-up" outfit is one he made to be Tarzan -- it requires a quick strip down to diaper/loincloth, and voila! I'm feeling much better about Spiderman!). He's seen here taking a moment to properly position his fingers for shooting his webs...
He's got the right hand down, but the left is a little trickier and he decided a "4" would work just as well. : ) It fits him perfectly and I just get a huge smile when I see him. Can you see that the pecs and biceps are totally padded and molded for muscles? And I love that it's not a full mask. My cute little crime fighter. I usually avoid buying Halloween costumes when the kids are little and just take the homemade route, but let's face it, how in the world could I have done something like this?! He LOVES it.
