Walkin' In A Winter Wonderland

Well not exactly, but it is really cold out there, and by the time I got Gracie in her coat and grabbed her backpack after school it was full on snowing outside.

While it was very cold and windy, Gracie got a kick out of walking to the car in the snow. As I snapped a picture, she of course was trying to catch them on her tongue. Before anyone panics about all the yuckies in that snow (Candice!)--poor thing can't catch one for trying.

Today they finished up the letter J, and got to play in Jello. I am guessing this was a pretty big hit. Apparently they each got a baggie of Jello and got to squish it. Gracie pointed out they were supposed to be easy. She told me she did hers carefully, but a little came out. The teachers helped her clean it up. Apparently, Alexis wasn't so lucky. She squished hers very hard and it exploded. Well, she didn't say exploded, but told me it was on the lights, the ceiling, the table, the chairs and the floor. She also pointed out that she helped clean up the floor.

Snack today was also orange Jello, but not what they got to squish.

I didn't get much else out of her about school, but we have been talking about not being a tattle-tale. As Garren points out he isn't surprised that she has a problem minding her own business. But, that's an argument for later. I think she is understanding that it is not nice to tell on other kids.

And, my poor little informant also has another cold. She is in her room now coloring and watching Snow White. Luckily it doesn't seem like a bad one--so that's a relief. I hope she will be all over it by Tuesday when we plan to travel to Tennessee for Thanksgiving.
