We are so back in school and I promised myself I would not peak at the internet until we were done… And my little people have been keeping themselves out of mischief…

  1. Love it! I think it’s awesome that you take the time to “toast” each kid every week! Someday they will look back and be able to see how much you payed attention!!!! Not that they don’t see it now, but you know what I mean?! Happy end of summer! Spring is just starting here in Wisconsin….good times.

  2. Hi Rebecca… I wonder if we ever appreciate the love our parents must have had for us… but I guess we don’t!!! But now that I know how much I love mine I have a vague idea!!! Happy Spring to you… we are enjoying our crispy autumn… but I am not looking forward to weeks of rainy winter!!! Have a great day!!!

  3. Aunty Muffin – That Wig!!! That guy is so funny!!! Gotta love him trying to escape… and then he gets sucked in by something he really wants to know about … and suddenly his school is done!!! Hope you have a great week!!!

  4. I was expecting to see a trail of Asterix books in every picture. Like spot the duck in the Usbourne books. You are obviously more subtle than I am! Absolutely love the driftwood damsel! (Assuming it is driftwood.) What a great find!

    If anyone deserves flowers then you definitely do. Enjoy!

  5. Hay Cheryl… Oh that would make such a cool post!!! I love spotting the duck!!! And just the other day I was lying in somebody’s bed reading Lucky Luke out-loud!!! In English mind you my French is somewhat minimalistic!!! Hope you have a fun week!!!
