Fashionistas

For these kindergartners its all about the shoes, hair and clothes for the first days of school. 

I was in my daughter's classroom taking pictures for a school activity. The variety of fancy footwear really caught my attention as well as their stylish clothes and hair. What they may have lacked in size due to their age they oozed in personality and charm.  It looks to be a lively year. I will have to say I tied A LOT of shoes today!

What do you remember about your kindergarten days? For me, it was making gingerbread men with Miss Anne :)

Today was a marker day for me. I reached the 600 mark for blog postings in three years.

And today was a marker day for all those Roald Dahl fans. Eight novels of the British children's author are coming out on his birthday September 13th. So now all the E-book fans can follow the adventures of Willy Wonka, The Fantastic Mr. Fox and James from James and the Giant Peach. Roald Dahl would have been 96 today. He died in 1990. More than 25 million of his books are in print in the U.S. alone.

Quotes from the book James and the Giant Peach

James: Whenever I had a problem, my parents told me to look at it another way. 

Earthworm: *How*? First, I was bird bait, and then I was *shark* bait. 

James: That's true, but you could say that you gave us wings to fly, and that you defeated a giant shark single-handedly. 

Earthworm: No-handedly. 

James: You're a hero. 

Earthworm: I am. I'm Wonderworm!
