Last Day of Kindergarten

The Green Wormers

Here they are, The Green Wormers, warming and caring for their charges after finding the little cuties floating in a puddle. The worms were then brought inside to dance, play, sing, have a nap, and eat some leaves. And then it was time to release them - we'll find more tomorrow.

Munchstaches

Two droopies and an uppie. Delicious with applesauce, devoured within 2 days. Thank you, thank you, Auntie Megan! Cookies by mail are declared a very good idea.

An Athlete, a Hula Duck

Here is Henry at 2 years old. He LOVES his basketball net. He is using a basketball in the shot above, but has since experimented with slam dunking plastic dinosaurs, stuffed cats, a can of tomatoes (whole, 28oz.), and a can opener. He also loves his hockey stick, his baseball bat, his football....all of these sports without ever having seen anyone play them. He also loves dressing up with his sisters, though, and here he is in his "Hula Tutu". Sadly, when we gave away our old stereo/LP player, we also gave away our Don Ho records, so the children have been reduced to hula-ing to the Irish Rovers. Not quite the same, but you do with what you have.

Boo!

We hope you all had a spooky Hallowe'en. Look at those children, out Trick or Treating in Winnipeg with no snowsuits under their costumes! Amazing! Boo!

Bye, bye, baby.

See that lower tooth on the left? The one that looks a little....loose? And wiggly? Like it might FALL OUT if you kept wiggling it? GONE! We are on tenterhooks to see if the you-know-who will come tonight, and what the going rate is for the first baby tooth lost in this house. Maybe it is enough to buy candy?

Tiger Babies

Well, that was a whole lot of cute bang for our 10 bucks. New tiger babies! Giving high fives! And showing their furry tummies! Oh! My heart! I could have stayed there all day, but the poor children were freezing. Why didn't their mother insist they wear a jacket?
