Weekend birthday party

 

Dorothy carved our pumpkin this year

 

The Sunday Funny

Dorothy comes home from school with stories about her friends wanting to taste all her foods at lunch.

Today, she said, "Aubrey wanted a piece of my seaweed.  I told her she could have one, but if anybody else asked for one, she would have to share hers with them."

I said, "That's a good idea.  Why are your friends so interested in your food?  Do you ever eat some of theirs?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because it's disgusting," Dorothy replied.

"What is disgusting about the foods they bring?" I asked.

"Their foods aren't disgusting," she clarified.  "Sharing food is disgusting."

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy's language is growing as fast as she is and I'm tickled when her comments surprise me...

Regarding a tv show we were watching:  "That show had a lot of f-bombs."

Regarding a suggestion I made about her science project:  "Trust the process."

Regarding the heist at the Louvre, when I said that there is a manhunt going on across France:  "They're probably in another country by now."

Slow to leave the car after school

 

During a school assembly today, Dorothy was recognized for her Fair Bear essay award!

I'm told this snack had something to do with earthquake models

Dorothy's drama class concluded with a play that the kids wrote. She played a frog.

 

We keep celebrating Fair Bear! Dorothy is the featured story on the school system's website!

The start of the thrilling ride

The end of the thrilling ride

We stayed from morn till night

"Now I can tell everyone that I have ridden a camel."

Brian was chosen to be hypnotized (he didn't go under)

Dorothy laughed so hard at the hypnotist show that she snorted.
