keep up again....

Bear with me, a few more extended family pics. I love that Bopa is not afraid to do dishes. It's the one family tradition he has been quite adamant about and I am so glad my husband listened. Indeed, it's his family law that the cooker shall not be the cleaner. Amen to that...

This picture is of my Love Bug on the phone with Mimi, just after her surgery. A few other sweet pics to keep up until we return! We're off to the Deep Woods for a little R&R with the family...

Theme Park

We have enough visitors to know that every visit has a theme. This visit's theme was Bopa and the Bug....

...with a guest appearance by the G Snak in the Pink Revenge.

Tom Sawyer

Gosh, now I forget if it's Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn that can get anyone to do anything for him. So, anyhew, Bug can get just about anyone to do just about anything for him. You have to be on your toes. Case in point, most every other child at his preschool greets his/her parent with a drawing of some sort produced during free play. The class does art also as a part of the curriculum, but the pictures from each unit are put in a folder for next year's teacher. Free play pictures are for parents. I prefer the mess to be done at school. That's what school is for right? Controlled mess not at in my house. So, I requested a few pictures from Bug. We've got some celebrations coming up and I wanted to send a few to those who love us and live far away.



Instead, I have pictures from all the girls at school. A flower from C, a zebra from E, a picture of a family not our own from W. Apparently Bug asks the ladies to draw a picture for him and they comply because "I'm very cute and I am a good friend." The best is TODAY'S TANTRUM FROM THE HEAVENS that Bug performed because his sister was crumpling a picture Bug brought home from school. It had the word "octopus" clearly spelled in preschool writing on it. I intervened and felt very proud because we are working on letters. NO. NO. NO. This is a pictue of sea life and a word spelled by his main gal pal, L, for him. I am mystified. I think I need to do an inservice regarding women's rights or something...

In other news, the picture below is one of Bug at our old house. He's knocking on the door thinking I've forgotten him during our daily rest time. The hard hat gives me some hope that he is interested in doing his own work at some point...

Beef

Bug can eat beef!
