Catching Some Shut Eye

Sometimes Evelyn skips her nap and then she is exhausted by 5pm. Waiting for dinner can be just too much and a perfect time for a cat nap. In a no-nap situation she'll fall asleep in the late afternoon very quickly. All of a sudden she is snoozing, usually with her mouth open.

I posted these sleeping Ev photos for her Uncle Tom who was amused when she slept in the car on the way home from Allegany. Although THAT time I think she was snoring.

First Day of School

I usually look forward to the first day of school with great anticipation but this year I am not ready. Don't know what happened but I really wanted a few more weeks with Hannah home. But, here we are, the first day of third grade. She didn't mind us walking her to her classroom door. Although once she saw some friends she completely ignored Mom, Dad, and Evelyn. First day went well with Mr. Robertson and his class. Weather cleared by afternoon so we walked home in sunshine. No homework.....yet.

Ev's preschool starts in two weeks. A concept Ev cannot understand so she was a wee bit mad that she was not yet going to school. Poor Ev. Life can be dull with no Hannah.
