She Really, Really, Really Likes Strawberries. OK?

We bought 4 pounds of strawberries Monday night, at 6:30.

24 hours later, they were gone.

Mimi found a pile of strawberry tops after dinner the night we bought them, and ate them all.

She wouldn't spit them out until there was nothing left but a wad of leaves in her mouth.

Are strawberry leaves poisonous?

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.

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.
