It's a Drive-by Petting!

Climb every mountain, v. 2

It's a struggle.


It's an exercise in persistance.

But the rewards?

Incalculable!

Behind the Glittering Scenes...

... is a whole lot of glitter...

You all received your share of our creative largesse, and I'm sure you spent a little time marvelling over the ability of even a small amount of glitter to spread itself throughout a home.


Now, consider the amount you received via those cards,


and multiply it by oh, fifty...






Festive, isn't it??

Beading is a Serious business

I know it doesn't look that way...

But they WERE having fun...

Honest!

Climb every Mountain!

He's so proud.

The more dirt...

the more fun, right?

Which means that Owen had a FABULOUS time today!

Craftiness

All it takes is a little TLC

When Ella declared herself tired and in need of a rest, Josh was most solicitous of her comfort. He tucked her in... (Don't you just love that little blue eye at the bottom of the frame? PEEK!)



He tried to convince Owen to fork over the "pretty pillow", but Owen, who's quite taken by the pretty pillow's teeny little mirrored bits, was not amenable...



So Josh decided the next best thing was to join Ella in her cosy comfort! It wasn't long before the cuddling presence of a healthy friend restored her energy levels to near-normal!


Friends are fun!

Nothing fancy, just the park

Three little faces at the park. Can you tell which one is your beloved wee nose?

I was calling him Mr. One-Eye, but Josh decided "Milan's a PIRATE!!"
Which, really, has far more panache, no?
Though I think he has to work a little harder on the "ferocious" aspect of the persona...

"Okay, this fresh air and exercise has been great, and all, but don't you think it's about time we all had a nap?"

And so we did. Home for macaroni and cheese (home-made, from scratch) and "peas and beans and carrots" as per group consensus, a diaper/potty parade, and then naps for all.
