Laura is back with Ms Caroline for another year of Jazz and Ballet. 

   
   

Colin is doing gymnastics as an activity again this year. He was apprehensive about having a new teacher for the first class last week. This week he ran in full of enthusiasm. 

   
 

We worked to get Colin’s stuffy storage up today. He is excited to have somewhere for them all to live. 

   
 

We bicycled home from friends this evening in the rain.  Colin is on the trail-gator being towed behind me. I guess me fender needs to be slightly longer!

  

After cleaning up the dishes and having a coffee I headed upstairs to the kids playing Wedding. Laura was preparing to marry The Prince of Rainbows. Colin was the silk weaver who designed and made the rainbow wedding dress.  

  

Laura’s doll’s bakery got an upgrade with all new doll sized baking utensils including a mixer, tablet with recipes, and other supplies.  

   

Colin pulled out Scrabble Jr. to play. He was great at finding his letters. The only draw back was the 7 missing pieces. Time to clean up the toy room!

  

En route to the farmers’ market in Saturday morning Colin said, “I hope there’s a bouncy castle there.” He got his wish!  They had special activities for kids, including the bouncy castle and face painting.  Colin chose Batman and Laura chose a butterfly.  She was busy bouncing while C had his done, so I didn’t get a picture of her until we were back in the car.

   
   

Colin is learning about the “fur on Daddy’s chin”.  He was surprised to learn that ANY grown-up man can have a moustache or a beard.  I think he thought it was something that just happened, like eye colour or height.

He gave clear directions about what areas Cliff was to shave.  Cliff is a good sport. 

   

Laura had a great afternoon climbing with her friend. She even got to the top of the big wall!

  

Colin played with his friends today but then came down with a fever.  We’re hoping today is a good recovery day.
