Susie-Q&A

More random photoblogging, for interested relatives.

This is why I have to fold straight from the dryer. Baskets are always in use.

We have a drake and a hen, apparently. I'm told that curly little feather on Mr.'s tail is a drake feather. Perhaps we have ducklings in our future.

They do the funniest little dance sometimes...I call it the puddle dance because Lady Jemima often does it beside their favorite puddle. She bobs her head up and down, and quacks incessantly. What is that all about? I don't know.

What happens when sis gets hold of the camera:

"I know how you feel kid. Darn paparazzi."

This is the book we've been meandering through for the past several weeks. I can't say it's brought about a significant change in behavior, but I do believe it has awakened some consciences! And they love reading it because it is co-written by three siblings and liberally sprinkled with real-life examples. We are also reading Henry Huggins aloud, a book from our Sonlight stash.

Let me tell you, this little kid is hilarity cubed:

He makes me laugh even when he isn't smiling! He's got miles of personality, and a goofball sense of humor. And he's got big sis wrapped around that tiny pinky finger. She'd walk to the ends of the earth for him...carrying him. He and Mopsy have choreographed a Diaper Dance that has to be seen to be appreciated.

More second pond shots. You'd think we could come up with more creative names than "first pond" and "second pond." Perhaps I should host a naming contest. I'm really bad at naming things. These pictures are old news anyway. The pond is currently green with an algae bloom.

I have more to write about our first day of Classical Conversations, but it's approaching midnight, so it'll have to keep until tomorrow. Excelsior, friends!
