It's the end of the year as we know it....

The school year that is. Clara switched schools last week, changing from her sheltered nursery school classroom to a real preschool with, *gasp* outdoor time! She hates it, as she does any change, but I think if I give her a few weeks she'll adjust.

Since we were leaving her first class at Clay, I wanted to do something nice for her uber patient teachers, who had put up with my non-sleeping, super-clingy, over-crying daughter for 9 months. The irony is, she just settled down with them, and they were not happy to see her go!

Being the green thumb that I am, I decided on flowers.  I want to do perennials, so they would live a long time and remind her teachers about her for years to come. I chose three different plants so everyone could chose one they like, and put them in three different colored pots. I printed "Thanks for helping me grow" on nice sturdy paper and attached it to some colorful pots.  I was pretty pleased with how it turned out.

You can see that the plants probably already need re-potting to something bigger, but they look good for now :) I think I'll reuse this idea for the MOPPETS workers this week.
