Going On A Bear Hunt

Going on a bear hunt, I'm not afraid!


Get through the tall grass....


Swim through the river....


Put on your boots....



Get through the mud...


and go in the dark cave...

In the Jungle

I lit a fire under my bumbum (thank you Ming Wai: boys have butts, girls have bum bums.  She'll tell you true.) and cleaned up the house before dinner/home teacher/I lost my sanity.  Toys out of the front room, swept the dining room and kitchen, cleaned off the kitchen counters.... I even cut flowers for the mantel, I must have been feeling guilty :)

All while the kids roamed free in the wild.

Mimi hunting for crayons...or stray raisins....her prey of choice.


Ernie doing an interpretive dance to "Tickle Tune Typhoon."  The same tape that has my four-year-old voice shrilling at my brother to "be quiet!  It's rewinding!  It's rewinding...." all said while I firmly held down the record button...ooops.


Mimi was successful in her hunt.  She loaded her kill into a nearby shoe, and then filled the doll car as well and drove away.


She comes close to inspect the intruder.


It's a jungle out there!

Mimi and the crumbs

This is what I found after E borrowed the camera.  Plus 5 videos of a light switch, 6 of her art work, and 7 of her toes.

More Unexplainable Dancing

There must be something about Owl City I don't know about.

Hello!

Mimi has been singing this song for days.... heyyo, heyyo, heyyo, heyyo, heyyo, heyyo, heyyo.... HAY!

Punked

It wasn't a park day.

Could we go for a walk? Is it nice enough out for that?

Sure.

Mimi walked about half a mile before throwing in the towel. I was pretty proud of her! Must be those new shoes....

Oh look, Mom! That sign means park! (Teeter-totter sign.) Is there a park?

Punks.

The family that plays together...

Ernie watched "Rescuers Down Under" today, and insisted we all take turns being the bound eagle making pitiful noises, and the boy with the knife who sets her free. She went first, because she had the best "pitiful noises."

Mimi just tried to hatch an egg.

A Sequence of Events

Little stinker loves buttons just as much as her sister...

Mimi is Displeased

Egg Hunt, Delayed

Wonder Daddy's office had their annual egg hunt a little late this year (a week late, actually.)  It wasn't scheduled to happen this year, but they changed their minds- yay!  Ernie loves going to Daddy's office, she really looks forward to this.

Mimi was pretty quick on the uptake, no one had to tell HER what to do once she started spotting eggs!  eggs+basket = happy.  (By the by, that's the new dress- I rather like it!)  (And that adorable basket is VINTAGE- Nana made it for Wonder Daddy when he was a little boy, isn't it sweet?)

Our battle-worn hero.  As of this writing, there are 4 more office days.  And the fourth MUST end by 4:00, because that's when the mailman comes.

Wonder Daddy walked us back to our car, which was VERY helpful- I had to do clean up duty on Mimi's egg basket so often, Ernie and Wonder Daddy quickly left us behind! :)
