Shenanigans

The big kids are getting pretty darn good at getting the little kids to bed (anything to delay your own bedtime, right?) And while it's a bit raucous, it's pure cuteness to witness.

Getting all these folks OUT of bed is another story...

very proud of her "Mirror Girl"

Donning the red white & blue for Nationality Day at school

 Over school holidays we took advantage of the library, like really took advantage. And they came up with a fun Sink or Float boat making endeavor one afternoon. (I discovered some real learning gets done when I just leave them alone to figure it out.)

Summer's first fort - she's officially inducted now

Space Bath

These Autumn beauties mean that net ball is again in full swing. Both Annie and Kenna are blowing their coaches away - can't believe they are such new players. The girls have the biggest grins on their faces every game. 

The big kids got to do an ice-hockey trial, which was pretty awesome and hilarious. We have decided not to sign up, but it sure was a kick to watch them bumble around in all their gear on that ice.

We did a recital at the local Retirement Home and Summer in particular was a hit with the older crowd. She can't really play anything but a few notes but she sure is jazzed about it anyway.

We've been following the growth of this gorgeous spider just outside our teacher's door and got to have a Charlotte's Web moment once she laid her eggs and died. :(
