Photo-A-Day #2372

Another milestone in life as parents. Today was both the first time that Eva had School Picture Day and also the first time we brought cupcakes to school for her birthday. Eva also wanted to take a picture of her new shopping cart to school so I took a photo of her with the shopping cart and then printed it out along with a picture of Mimi and Grandpa Dano.

I had the absolute pleasure of receiving multiple screeners for the upcoming PBS KIDS Halloween-themed programming that will be starting October 17 and continuing through October 31st. We received screeners for Dinosaur Train, Sid the Science Kid, The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That and Wild Kratts. Eva and I watched all of them together.

We watched three episodes of Wild Kratts. One on Raccoons, another on Wolves and one on Sharks. When the Wild Kratts “Predator Week” airs, starting October 17th, there will be even more new shows including one on Cheetahs and one on Birds of Prey, raptors. I really liked the episode on Wolves called “Little Howler”. I’m a sucker for anything about wolves because they are my favorite animal and I learned a thing or two from the episode.
