The Letter S

Shhhhh....Sxo

A Picture Is Worth 96 Words

Minutes before dinner, I looked out the window and my eyes met the biggest, fluffiest snowflakes I have ever seen...well ever seen since last winter, that is.
"Snow. SNow. SNOw. SNOW!" I exclaimed. "Hugh!!!! Hurrrrrrrrrry. We must get outside quickly ...this is Arlo's FIRST snow...forget your coat and hat....COME ON!!! THIS IS AWESOME! Don't worry everyone!!! I've got the CAMERRRRA"The Picture has requested a word or two or ninety-six...take it away, Picture.
"Oh boy. Where to begin...Oh I know, how about with the overzealous, nearly neglectful mother in the center? Yes, a perfect starting point. Hey Mom, nobody else is smiling! That should tell you something. Your children, the poor dears are COLD...{you're not fooling anyone with Arlo's scarf and hat tricks...and just because I, the picture, don't show his feet, we all know they're bare!}. Now have a good look and remember for the next 'special-first-time-moment', take a breath...dress the children properly...tone. it. down. No hard feelings...just sound advice from a Picture"

Ah-em. Point taken Pic. I can call you Pic, right?

R

Pardon the little hiccup in posting...we're all sorted now!

R is for Reflection
When our letter of the day game first began, we worked really hard organizing activities, food and trips related to our letter. There was the trip to the airport for the letter A...we searched for persimmons when it was P's turn and my favourite, trying to fly a kite on a windless day all for our pal, K. As the weather has begun to change, so has our alphabet game. A very natural and perhaps, much needed transition. Instead of going to the River on a Rainy day to search for Rocks, we are just as happy to let R greet us. And do you know what? It did...without effort or thought...R was there waiting and Ready:

Halloween

It was a very good night...especially for dentists.
Hugh loved trick or treating. He was in disbelief the whole time:
"You just knock on the door and they GIVE you candy."

{Miles the truck :: Hugh the ghost crane excavator}

And sweet Arlo made for a perfect spider on my web. It was brought to my attention that spiders don't have antennae...I thought, What a shame, and gave Arlo some regardless.Happy November...
