Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real 12

Kids getting back to school this week.  Alleluia will miss having lots of commotion around her!  Just boring old Mommy to keep her company.....

Pretty

On the Feast of the Assumption, the girls cut some flowers to bring our friends at the assisted living facility.

Happy

I forgot how much fun it is to blow up balloons and let them go!

Funny

Notice the bread crumbs on the ledge?  I found the new bird house this way.  The girls keep checking to see if anyone has moved in (not as of yesterday).  Maybe a "free cable TV" sign would help?

Real

Okay, now that we're potty trained, it's hard to find cute undies.

Alleluia is all about duckies, and as far as I know Ducky Undies don't exist--UNTIL NOW!!

Flower Arranging

Flower arranging is a traditional element of Montessori curriculum.  It dovetails well with some of our other activities around here, such as weekly Legion of Mary meetings (where fresh flowers are required) and weekly visits to residents at a nearby assisted living facility.

But how to transport the precious posies?  One workable solution is to save the 4-pack Starbucks Frappuccino packages.  (We buy these for long, cross-country drives and save the empties.)  The glass bottles look a little like the old-fashioned milk bottles (*love*) and the handle on the cardboard carrier is, well, handy.

Now for the gratuitous cute baby photo of Alleluia in a hat.
