June 11, 2009

Suki decorates Dusty, a popular pastime for her these days.

But when Kate comes over to check out the equine bedazzling, Suki first shouts at her and then promptly shares every single bauble without a word from me.

Laughing because she's erasing her drawing faster than I can photograph them.

She was tickled, I must say.

Grace completed this puzzle -- Suki knows that the pieces fit back in here somehow but can't quite figure it out.

Kate reckons it's time for some toy tossing!

Oh these girls are so competitive -- here, everyone decides it's time to share some of Suki's "bead cake" -- for those uninitiated, it's a pile of beads that gets called cake, no more, no less.

Here Suki and Grace have swiped a ring stack from Kate and can't decide how to share.

Meanwhile, Kate has swiped Grace's milk cup.

Four of Suki.

We interrupt to bring you the latest topic of tussling, the beanbag chair. All three girls have decided they must have it now! Who will win?

No one, really, because in this melee there's so much shouting (by them, I swear) that no one can make any headway with their arguments about why they should prevail. Eventually everyone just tumbles off and goes their own way.

Four of Kate.

Four of Grace.

Grace and Suki color some insect pictures.



Can you believe how long Suki's hair has gotten?

After coloring her insects, Grace moves on to the next step in her project -- cutting out the images. She rattled off something about open and closed like an alligator, which I presume is from some preschool scissor lesson. I played along and reminded her not to get her fingers anywhere near the alligator's mouth.

Then we attached our specimens to our custom silver case. Or to a shoe box lid covered with aluminum foil. Whichever.

A thumbtack pressed through the case holds the case to an existing hole in the wall. Not spackling over the holes the previous owners left can be mighty convenient at times like this.

Suki points out her insect coloring to Kate.
