Busy Month!

Book and Breakfast at Beulah on October 1st-- Dana, (center, in her pink Red Sox sweatshirt)enjoyed the storytime among the other Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders.

To celebrate the letter "P", we had a PJ party. Here is Miss Ackerly's class, making silly faces.
(Dana is in the back row.)

At dance class-- Hannah and Ana, two of Dana's best friends from preschool, are on the right.

First field trip, to the pumpkin patch at Chesterfield Berry Farm. Dana and Mery (her BFF) enjoying the picnic lunch. Dana's class was taken to a different field to pick pumpkins, so I didn't get any pictures of her then-- being "mama" and "Mrs. Kaufman" is HARD!

Chase chaperoned the field trip, and had fun with Dana and Mery.

Apple Picking

Ta-da!

We decided to visit Carter Mountain Orchard this year to do some apple picking rather than our usual trip to the pumpkin patch (Dana, Chase and I will still be visiting the pumpkin patch on a field trip in October). Of course, Dana still wanted to "pose" with some pumpkins.

Dana's First Day of Kindergarten!

Posing before school at the front door.

With Miss Ackerly.

Not even halfway home and she was out cold! Kindergarten wore Dana out!

Good Clean Fun!

As part of the Labor Day festivities at Woodlake, the kids enjoyed a sea of foam. I almost think that should count as Dana's pre-kindergarten bath!

Saying Goodbye to Summer

As is our tradition, we enjoyed our goodbye to summer ice cream at Bruster's on Sunday.
