		<title>Jazzy Jack-o-Lanterns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anna had her school Halloween parade and party today.  She was also the daily helper, and I volunteered to help out with the class activities for the morning.  Exciting day! The class made jack-o-lantern costumes out of paper bags over the last couple of weeks, and these were what they wore for the parade. They [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spelling Homework</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is our first experience with daily homework: spelling lists.  Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday have pretty normal assignments.  Thursday is a more open-ended assignment, where we have to, as a family, come up with a &#8220;creative&#8221; way to use &#38; practice the words.  We knew it would be tough, since we are so new at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sharing is Good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anna is so excited to have the &#8220;sharing bag&#8221; to bring to school today.  Since the color of the month is orange, she has to bring in an orange mystery item for her classmates to guess.  Her clues are: 1. You eat it. 2. It&#8217;s crunchy. 3. It grows in the ground. Any guesses? No? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anna&#8217;s First Field Trip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the advantages of sending Anna to the same preschool as Carolyn is that she gets to do all the same fun things!  So today was Anna&#8217;s first field trip, just like Carolyn&#8217;s four years ago.  Anna was pretty upset when we got to the farm, because she &#8220;wanted to go to school today!&#8221;  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get Acquainted Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight was the get acquainted/curriculum night for Carolyn&#8217;s 2/3 classroom.  It was great to see what she&#8217;s been working on, and how her classroom works.  All the kids have jobs, which they had to write a letter of application to get.  Carolyn is one of the class librarians &#8211; which makes sense considering her love [...]]]></description>

		<title>Smile Potato Bento</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, so smile potatoes aren&#8217;t the healthiest food out there, but they really can&#8217;t help but make you smile&#8230; &#8230;especially when they make such cute leftover bentos!  Also, mini sandwich thins are about the best invention ever &#8211; the girls both adore mini foods.  If it has &#8220;mini&#8221; in the name they are far more [...]]]></description>

		<title>What grade did *you* learn this stuff in?!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Carolyn came home today and told me about a math problem she had to do in school: x + y = 10 y = 4 x + x = 12 x = ? I can&#8217;t say for certain, but I&#8217;m pretty sure I wasn&#8217;t doing this kind of math until at least 7th grade&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>First Day of Preschool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anna was so very ready to start school that she was beside herself with excitement this morning! After we put Carolyn on the bus and I managed to drink a little coffee, we headed down to the school and waited for them to open up the doors. Anna showed her teachers the little treasures she [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meet the Teachers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anna got to go to her preschool today and meet her teachers! She was a tiny bit shy at first, but then warmed up pretty quickly. She apparently thought she needed to show off every bit of knowledge she&#8217;s already stored up, as she walked around the room pointing out various things that had her [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Return of the Bento</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Carolyn was going to buy for her first day.  But when I mentioned that I would make her &#8220;back to school&#8221; bento the second day, then, she changed her mind. I&#8217;m out of practice, a bit, so I packed this one the night before.  (All but the cookies &#8211; I added those in first thing [...]]]></description>
