School Days

School is where a lot of our winter fun is happening this year and where I'm taking most of my photos lately.  Orelia had fun being the center of attention and celebrating her half birthday at school awhile back.

Bennett enjoys lots of things at school, especially if they are outside.

After a semester of ignoring the horse in the play yard, Bennett finally gave it some attention.

He grabbed some dirt and fed it some "goldfish," but the dirt fell out of the mouth so Bennett said the horse didn't like it.  Ha!  Little kids are the best.

Orelia has been spending lots of time setting up elaborate tea parties with her friends and playing doctor of "family" (recently she prefers to be the misbehaving baby in the family).  Pretend play is her jam, but it doesn't always take the best photos, so instead I capture her outdoor exuberance.

 Bennett was excited to debut his new Lighting McQueen umbrella on the walk to school.

He's not too keen on rain jackets, so an umbrella it is!

 Unlike Orelia who bemoans every cloudy or (God forbid) rainy day, Bennett relishes our wet winter and all the puddles and mud it has brought into his life.

 Every week Bennett asks his teacher to bring out his favorite truck puzzles, and he will sit and do each puzzle two or three times before moving onto his next item on the agenda.

It's so much fun playing and photographing my kids at school.  I'm so lucky to be there to witness them in their element.
