And sending evites.
Madeleine's said,
"I want you to come to my birthday.
And I always wanted a birthday present, too."
: )
We headed outside and Maddie and I made fairies to go with our house.
They're pretty sweet.I can say that, because it seems they mostly made themselves, and that we had hardly anything to do with it.
There's been reading (voluntary reading, mind you)
how lovely to be so done with Reading Worries-- 'tis a beautiful thingand JumpStart2G-- which included number placement and prefixes (really? Prefixes? at seven???)
and learning what Sumo Wrestlers are from National Geographic
and Smurf videos (Trev)
wild chases
a tea party
hide-and-go-seekbike ridin'
readin' library books
Briefly checked out Land of the Lost (I've been talking about it for years... Dinosaur shows were sooo much cooler in the seventies than they are now. Don't you agree??? heh heh.)
Little Son is leery of the Sleestaks... I've mentioned too many times how creepy they were, I guess.
Looked through Bill Nye's Dinosaur Dig book for some experiments to try out tomorrow
Mama's got 'Speer-a-ments on her mind.
Magic School Bus! beebeep
JumpStart 2nd Grade... the next SuperGem. woohoo! (multiplication this time. ??? whoof.)
Lots of wild abandon today!
Now tomorrow we really must quit runnin' and clean up this house.
Really!
That book Trev's reading reminds me of a book I checked out on a whim at the library last week. It's called 'The Big Black Book of Colors', I think, and it's got completely black pages with white letters. The illustrations are raised from the page, but black, so you run your fingers over them to feel them and above the white letters are the same sentences written in Braille.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Trev's book reminded me of that. :)
The fairies are enchanting.
ReplyDeleteIt is my experience that the best birthday parties include guacamole!!
I love those fairies!
ReplyDeleteTea with the housefairies - I love it!
ReplyDeleteLand of the Lost! LOL, I remember that. :) My personal fave as a kid was the ultra cheesy one on mainstream TV where the baby dino would call the dad "Not the mama". It was pretty bad if I recall right, but i thought it was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of the day and all the fun. Always inspiring.
Another great day :)
