life on monday

there's been drawing


and the making of valentines.

maddie drew this freehand... isn't it splendid?

Trev and I finished up Explore Rocks and Minerals today
-
which was totally awesome
and snuggly
and engaged
and connected.
who'd a thought we could snuggle with rocks?

there was a walking trip to the store for bubblegum


and trying to master the trick of the thing.

cadoo! family play

and apples to apples jr


and building.

(citiblocs)
we had flats,
scaffolding
and Dubai's Dynamic Tower


which naturally led to National Geographic Kids Almanac 2011

and friendliness between tigers and orangutans.

research -
Trev looked up our local park and oil spill of last year

Maddie learned a bit more Spanish

and there was Godzilla
and city play.

we've had all sorts of bird love today...
(due, no doubt, to our avian adventures of yesterday)
bird talk
bird drawings
and bird research.

yet more research
and yet more language explorations.
(language club by knowledge adventure)

jump! with dad

and now...
as soon as the babes get back inside this warm house...

we're gonna start reading
The Princess Bride.

life is very,
very
fine.

'til tomorrow, then.
