school pictures are awesome!

i get to chaperone the bean's class for their first field trip of the year.  and it's a fun one, too - a visit to knott's berry farm.  i'm sure we'll go through all of the ghost town areas and ride the train and the blacksmith's shop and maybe even the replica of independence hall, which totally makes it an educational trip.

oh, and here's her official 4th grade school portrait:

gotta love those school photographers, man.  it's not like you couldn't take one look at her and gently suggest that she fix the placement of that headband, or maybe have her smooth down the little bump of hair at the very top.  it's a good thing she's cute.

that's all i got for today.  i'm sure i'll have lots to report tomorrow, though.  i actually have something super fun to recap from last week, too.

you're excited.  i know it.
