Charlotte's Web

Abigail's teacher recently finished reading Charlotte's Web to the class. It's one of my favorites, so Abigail has read it several times. In fact, the latest animated version of the book was the first movie Abigail saw in a theater. In short, it's a classic that I highly recommend.

Today, the first graders dressed as their favorite characters and paraded through the preschool and elementary classrooms throughout the school.



Unfortunately, I waited until yesterday to put together Abigail's Charlotte costume and then she left the black tights at home this morning. Oh, well. It was still obvious that she was Charlotte, but not one of my finest mommy moments.


The best part of the day was after the parade. Daniel and joined the kids on a walk to the park where they ate lunch, played and fed the ducks. Of course, Abigail didn't want us to sit by her, but we enjoyed the day with her.
