Our Summer Program is in full swing at work. We are off on field trips every day. We’ve been to some pretty amazing places already but we are also getting plenty of time back at our building for dressup and K’nex building.

It’s a bit of a tease because it is too early for spring, but it has been feeling like it.
We’ve taken advantage of this exceptional weather and spent a lot of time out of doors.
After an impromptu trip to a park (someone misread the [...]

I’ve had a day from you know where. Actually, yesterday was like that and tomorrow isn’t looking that great either.

Sorry to disappoint you {or conversely: relieve you!) - this is not about the 7th, or the Minus 1th Episode of the Lucasfilm series.
It has been outrageously slow at work this week. Monday morning - no children showed up. Weds. - 1 child. Thurs - 2 and today -3. The weather has been wet and cold and [...]

Last week over coffee at my Aunt’s, my little cousin drew this for me.
She took a few creative liberties - I wasn’t wearing a skirt, purple lipstick nor do I have green eyes (unless I was at your blog checking out your latest spinning).
Kira looks like she is in a rush doesn’t she?

I forgot my camera at work. So….no WIP pics tonight.

I thought it would be fun to experiment with a new photography style.
That’s a picture of Nagini.
Let’s try that again.
Here’s a Kinnear of our kids raiding our daycare garden. It is loaded with beans, peas and lettuce. Oh, and there are going to be potatoes enough for a township I am sure, [...]
