Once Upon A Dream

Gabby was playing in the snow on our deck, and she thought it was extremely hilarious to throw this snowball at me. I told her that I was putting it on the blog to send along to all of you. She was happy about that. I signed the girls up for some fun classes at a local gymnastics and dance school. They have reached their limits in this house and have begun to jump on the guest room mattresses. You can see the snow on the massive trees outside. It really is pretty in person. Anyhow...back to classes. Gillian will be going to a mommy and me gymnastics class and a mommy and me ballet class. That should be hysterical....(Gillian in a leotard...and me doing ballet). Gabby will be doing tap, ballet, and gymnastics. Lucky for me...This is all at one school. Their first class is on Saturday. Gabby visited Craig Elementary today. She had to go for kindergarten registration. Everyone we met was so nice, and the school looked like so much fun! We met the two kindergarten teachers, and one of the teachers was born and raised in Staten Island. We asked her what she missed the most about Staten Island, and she said - the pizza and Ralph's Ice. What a small world. I wonder which teacher Gabby will have next year! She also signed up for the 1000 book club. We get to go to the school and pick up these red bags filled with 10 books. The kids get rewards after reading so many books, and they get a huge award when they make it to 1000. The program starts when children are three, and they must finish by the time they are in first grade. We are coming into the program late in the game, so I hope we can catch up.
