50th Day of School

In honor of the 50th day of school, Ms. Corpuz's kindergarten class had a 1950s party. The kids looked adorable in their poodle skirts and rolled up jeans and muscle shirts. They danced the twist and the bunny hop and enjoyed hot dogs and milkshakes. Max is loving kindergarten this year. Is it any wonder?

Halloween 2011

Halloween is a HUGE deal in Alameda, and once again, we pulled out all the stops! Scott and I attended an Edison PTA fundraiser party and had a great time getting dressed up for the occasion. I was able to wear my mom's dress from the late 60s and she was on hand to "rat" my hair and give me makeup advice (liquid eyeliner is b*&%tch). The boys attended one celebration after another -- school carnival, preschool parade, party at the Goddard's house and trick-or-treating with the neighbors and grandparents. Whew! We had a lot of fun, but I'm kind of glad it is over. This tired mama needs a break...
