Julia's stories

Julia's been coming up with these stories at school, and her teachers wrote them down so she could bring them home. She read this story at the "Authors' Tea" event which was held at her school a few weeks ago:
"The people were walking on the beach one day. Then the seagulls swooped down and grabbed some of their food. It is a cloudy day. The seagulls weren't very nice. The end."
And here's the picture she drew with it:


Today, she brought home two more stories:
" The Zebra was walking on the beach. It was too hot for him. And he went somewhere else. The end."

"Animals were kind of chilly somewhere. So they went to a warm, warm place. It was the beach. And the beach was really hot. They stayed there for a while. Until they heard a loud noise. Then the turkey came. It saved them. And then the turkey picked them up. And he brought them somewhere else. And that's the end."


I see a common theme: the beach.

Sisters

We haven't posted much lately as we've been pretty busy... and sick... and not getting enough sleep.

Julia still loves to hug Stella, who has mixed feelings about it.

This is what Julia looks like when she's trying to do something she's been told not to.

Smilin' Stella

3 Cousins

3 cousins being silly (while Stella napped): 2 "flower girls" and a" dancer".

Sunny Sunday

Another sunny day (on a weekend!) here.

We spent some time with good friends. Here is Julia being silly on top of a rock.

Then she wanted to wash her hands in the river (by lying down in the mud)...

Stella made a new friend (as Julia was entertained).

Sunny Saturday

It was a beautiful day here yesterday: 11C and sunny. The snow is practically all gone, except for what's on the lake.

Stella is getting used to the carrier, which helps free up our hands (for things like taking pictures...).

Today is another sunny day...
