"Surprise Mom!" A basement banquet. Pretty creative decorating if you ask me. |
This fall marks the beginning of a new era in our household. Francesca will begin school officially on Monday, Sept. 17, one full day a week. The rest of the week I'll be working with her on the topics broached during her school day. It's a little like a homeschool co-op, with heavy parental involvement, but taught by "mentors," not parents. It will be an experiment! In any case, our little social butterfly is bursting with enthusiasm at the prospect of a whole day at school with her lunchbox, backpack, pencil case and uniform.

Leftovers from a fall craft. Not a bad centerpiece though? |

The Marigolds are bursting, and the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is tomorrow. How appropriate! |

The last two pumpkins in our patch, sigh. |
We'll report back on school in the coming weeks. In the meantime, go Irish, beat Boilermakers!
