Fun with A

Well, first off with some family help we loaded two IKEA shoeboxes with tons of art supplies (paper, pencils, crayons, markers, colored pencils, coloring book or colored paper), princess dress-ups, hair clips, nail polish, brain puzzles like a Rubix cube, games like Uno and the jumping pegs in a wooden board game, mini candy canes, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, soap, pink washcloth, and mini scriptures. We sent them out for Operation Christmas Child!

A caught a slug, a worm, a millipede, a caterpillar, a pillbug, and several snails in the last week. They all died, as did her fish. And her underwater snail, which climbed out of its waterbowl and escaped behind the dresser. Bad pet luck.

A invented her own version of "There's a Hole in the Bucket" today:

There's a hole in the fan, dear Liza, dear Liza
There's a hole in the fan, dear Liza, a hole.

Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it.

With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, dear Liza,
With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, with what?

With metal, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With metal, dear Henry, dear Henry, with metal.

With what shall I stick it, dear Liza, dear Liza,
With what shall I stick it, dear Liza, with what?

With tape, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With tape, dear Henry, dear Henry, with tape.

But the tape is too loose, dear Liza, dear Liza,
But the tape is too loose, dear Liza, too loose.

Then glue it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then glue it, dear Henry, dear Henry, glue it.

But the metal's too little, dear Liza, dear Liza,
But the metal's too little, dear Liza, too little.

The End!
