Colin headed out the door today to hang out with the neighbors across the street, and their cat Napoleon too.

After the Nutcracker performance, the bun comes out and it’s snack time. Laura also had to study the program tonight to figure out who is performing what role in which show. The mice and the clowns did an excellent job tonight!

They are the I in Big.

Colin’s class had a field trip last week to the Texas Discovery Gardens. The first stop was the butterfly gardens.

Sarah did an amazing job creating a cake for Laura’s jungle theme birthday party.

Laura had a whole zoo (well 6) of animals come to the house as a surprise for her birthday party.

She liked them all but thinks the tenrec was probably her favorite.

There was also stick bugs, a tegue lizard, a frog, a chinchilla, and an owl monkey.

Somebody had to supervise.

Why do boxes have such universal appeal?
