Field Trip!

One of the reasons you never ask your child to say "Cheese!" I've made a rule a few years ago that we can no longer ask Eleighsa to pose for a picture. This is the end result...an overly stiff and hiked up smile.

Eleighsa had a field trip at school. The annual trip to the big pumpkin patch. There's nothing quite like fall in Maryland. It was a sweltering 90 degrees. Somehow hay rides with sweaty children doesn't seem to be everyone's idea of autumn. It was still a lot of fun. What's even greater...they all received a small pumpkin upon leaving.

Remember class pictures? You know the ones...where someone is looking somewhere they shouldn't, someone is picking their nose, and someone else doesn't even realize that there's a picture being taken. Ah yes, I'm glad that I could refresh your memory. Below is one of those pictures. Isn't is the greatest thing you've ever seen? I love the craziness of class pictures.

Before leaving, I called for Eleighsa outside the bus window. This is the photo that I captured. Her eyes are smiling. I love that.

All of my life there's always been one important job that I've always wanted to do. I'm destined. I've just never been given the chance until now. It's a job that I take seriously and one that I'm proud of. Most dream of being doctors, nurses or lawyers. My dream in life has been to be a homeroom mom. I can finally announce that I am officially a homeroom mom. How cool is that! Eleighsa's fall party is at the end of the month. Be on the lookout for more crazy pictures and stories.
