Volunteering in Disguise

Usually I volunteer in Noah's classroom on Thursday mornings. This is hard for Nicole who has preschool at the same time. She is always dying to go to Noah's class and recess with her cousins, especially now that it's marble season. I told her before that I would take her on a non-preschool day and volunteer so she could go to recess with the kids. She hasn't forgotten this and asks me weekly, almost daily, if today is that day.

I texted Noah's teacher to see if I could volunteer, just a disguise so Nicole could get her long anticipated prize. It turns out, Melissa did need some help with AR, so I look good from both perspectives. Elise and Luci always get excited to see Nicole. She usually sits next to Elise and Cameron sits next to Noah. Cameron is used to coming in, he comes in every time I volunteer; it's more convenient than getting a babysitter because he just sits and listens. He's so comfortable in there now that last Thursday he went up to Mrs. Telford and told on a boy who wasn't staying on task and doing his work.

I followed the kids during recess playing marbles, but it feels near impossible to get a good picture of them all facing the same direction. So I tried to pose them after a few rounds. Cameron looks so very photogenic in that one. He doesn't like posing for pictures when there's marbles to play!!
