the natural frosty

Bea had been itching to build a frosty. When the time came, all she wanted to do was throw snowballs and kick the beginnings of the body - then roar with laughter. When she finally came around, light was fading and supplies were low. So Frosty picked up some leaves and debris to keep him warm at night. He also only wanted to be able to see and grab things with his pine-eyes and twig-arms. His natural and angular body made him irresistible to Bea. She said she needed to pick him up, hug him and carry him.

I like to eat AND drink

Valentine's Day

Valentine's this year was all about the kids. We made Chicago valentines for the girls to bring. Bea was so excited and proud. There was a valentine exchange, goody bags and a dance party for the older kids and Bea claims that they danced to Single Ladies. Cordelia made us some Valentine art and had a single red rose attached to it. It's stuff like this that makes me weepy. The teachers were giggling at my response.
