Oh, December....

Can you believe it?!  And to think my kiwi friends are missing their warm New Zealand summer so they can visit us!  Here is one of my favorite poems about December...

I heard a bird sing in the dark of December,
A beautiful thing, and sweet to remember.
"We're closer to spring than we were in September!"
I heard a bird sing in the dark of December.


Ezra getting into the block play - and with a new haircut!

These two work so well together :0)


The mermaids are being attacked by a fierce tiger!!  Thank you to Rachel & Isaac for sharing more dress ups!

Ian & his sisters Emmaline & Corin came to visit this week!

making stained glass with colored leaves


Emmaline squishes playdough while Mandolin works on her stained glass

Zach made a cool cave for his dinosaur - with some soldiers to guard it

May I take your order?

leaves blowing in the wind

mmmm, turkey sandwiches for lunch!  Just right for the week after Thanksgiving :0)

Ella has her first loose tooth...can you tell?


Next mitten coming up for Rachel!

Lots of large branches were down near the creek this week - and we had some awesome workers who just started doing clean up!  I made a comment about how strong they were - and Zach said, "That's called teamwork!"



That's Corin (Ian & Emmaline's big sis, age 13) helping with that huge branch

The new playground has been ordered - but these guys can find fun anywhere!  There was a little talk of the fulcrum under the teeter totter but mostly just lots of fun ;0)

It was just starting to spit rain when it started snowing cattail seeds!

Welcome to Jude Matthias!  He was born the day before Thanksgiving :0)

Big brother Silas & big sister Ruthie!  Hopefully they will be able to join us this coming week for our last day of prek in 2013!
