In Maddie's class, they read "The Kissing Hand" about a mother and baby raccoon. The class has stuffed animal versions of Mamma and Chester Raccoon, which, over the course of the year, go to each child's home for a week-long visit. The chosen child takes Mamma and Chester on all the week's adventures, takes lots of pictures and prepares a scrapbook page, which she/he presents to the class at the end of the visit.
It's a very big deal to be chosen to host Mamma and Chester, and all the kids in Maddie's class look forward to their chance. On Friday, Maddie was chosen for the opportunity, so Mamma and Chester will be at our house during Thanksgiving week. Maddie, of course, is very excited.
On Friday night, the Larsen's hosted their annual "Pie Night". Mckay Larsen is in Maddie's class and was quite excited when Mamma and Chester came to his house with Maddie to eat pie. Maddie, Mckay, Chester and Mamma had a great time, as you can see from the pictures.

I cannot wait to meet Mamma and Chester Raccoon. I am bringing them some presents!!! See you on Wednesday.
Lainey wants Maddie to know that she would help her babysit if she lived there
I think Mamma and Chester Raccoon should stow away in Uncle Alex's luggage with Maddie when he comes to Texas
What a fun idea! I'm sure Maddie will take very good care of Mamma and Chester Raccoon especially during Thanksgiving week.
Annual pie night sounds like a lot of fun. Did you take a pie over?...Ethan's preschool has a similar stuffed friend except he is Bo the Bear. Bo spent the week with us about a month ago. Instead of taking pictures and putting together a page we(or I should say I) wrote in a journal about our adventures together. I think the scrap book page sounds much cuter.
