February in Pictures

Our dogs really love each other.  This is how they sleep 99% of the time.

These,  my friends, are gluten free, egg free, dairy free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.  They were fluffy, moist, they rose, and they even tasted good, something that has been a difficult combination to achieve this past month and a half.  Even our non GFCFEF neighbor kids loved them.

At our elementary the second grade presents puppet shows.  There are four classes with each class doing 3-4 shows.  It's a lot of puppets.  And they have 5 performances.  When you have a lively child like BoyTwo and a anxious child like Three, you get to be to all five performances.  I was able to multitask a little (okay, a lot) and decorate the gym for something else when it wasn't their exact turn.  These pictures are of the cast introducing themselves before they take stage.  Three is Chicken Little.  BoyTwo is a pig from the Gingerbread Man.  I'm pleased to say there were no inappropriate things said into the microphone, no microphones were thrown, and no little piggies went running wee wee wee all the way off the stage.  Phew.  In the hallway after one performance, the pig did have a little run in with another animal, as in he literally and purposely ran into and over the poor guy, and lost his snout which was later surgically replaced with hot glue once reparations were made and privileges earned back.

He assured both his teacher and I that it wasn't supposed to be a 'real fight, just a fun fight.'  

Four's kindergarten class filled their marble jar and voted on a superhero party.  Rules were that you had to invent your superhero to portray special abilities/talents you had.  So there you go.  Cheer You Up Cheetah Girl.  She makes me so happy.

Not sure why these pictures were split up.  Oh well.  This is an intense game of Blind Tickle Monster.  The kids sit in a circle around Huz who counts to ten and then tickles someone.  They aren't allowed to open their eyes or else they are disqualified.  Here they were waiting with such intense anticipation that I was laughing out loud.

Four loves animals.  She would really love to be a cheetah.  Or a horse.  Or a cat.  Or dog.  You get the picture.  She would love to wear this little get up 24/7.

Oh!  Looks like Two was the one caught by the tickle monster :)
