Letter to Santa

Libby wrote her letter to Santa a few days ago but I wanted to take her to the post office to drop it off so that she could put it in the North Pole mailbox rather than just putting it in our usual mailbox. Right after I picked her up from school we went straight to the post office and she dropped off her letter to Santa and she wanted her picture taken. :-) You may notice that yes, she is wearing pj's in this picture. At her school they had a Spare Change Challenge recently and her class brought in the most change for the entire school! Whoa! So, as their reward they had a pajama party all day today. They also had hot cocoa this afternoon and the principal came in and read them a book. We always park across the street from school in the mornings and walk over. This morning we were waiting at the crosswalk with several other students and their parents and I got a few weird looks because Libby was in her pj's. :-)

Today while I was in her classroom volunteering all of the children were sitting on the carpet in front of the teacher and Libby raised her hand and said that something was in her shoe. The teacher told her that she could go behind everyone where she'd have more room and take her shoe off to get whatever it was that was bothering her out of her shoe. She walks behind everyone and I was watching her as she took off her Eskimo boot and pulled out a folded up piece of paper and six erasers!! She had all of that jammed in to her boots!! No freaking wonder it was bothering her! :-) I asked her later why she had all of that in her boot (oh, and right now I need to add that we had some really nasty weather this morning. It was dark as night outside with the wind whipping around and rain pouring down) and she told me that it was in case there was a tornado she wouldn't lose that stuff because she really liked those erasers. My silly litle girl! :-)
