Classroom and Clara

My room is all finished:)  Here's the "after."  Quite a difference, huh!?  I have to do this every year, but it forces me to clean and organize everything as I'm packing/unpacking.  It's always fun to see everything so shiny and clean.  Kindergarten is a great age.  It is definitely challenging some days, and my patience gets tested quite a bit, but not many people can say they get greeted with 20 smiling faces and hugs every morning.  :)

Here's my little corner of the world.

On a totally different subject....everyone always comments on how long Clara's hair is. She has pretty straight hair on top and curly hair underneath.  I always say, "you should see her hair when it's wet because all those curls and waves get straightened out."  Well, here is Clara's long wet hair:)

When Clara was little bitty, we would always tease and say she would be riding a four wheeler through the mud wearing a tutu. We figured she would be a girly girl but want to do everything just like Reece.  Well, we were exactly right.  Clara found this hat and has to wear it-just like Reece.  Wearing the John Deere hat along with her "princess" shirt:)
