Jorgensen Sandwich: our fraggles

An hour to go until the official start of summer. It's an early pick up at school - noon - then it's go time. Two and a half months of kids, activities and I imagine, snacks. Unfortunately it's pouring rain so not really the tone we were hoping for. Nonetheless, I'm very excited to sleep in, laze a bit longer in jammies and hopefully hit the beach with our two shorties!

It turns out both of our kids were stricken with the flu the night of their final graduation from Montessori Casa Pre-K and K program. I was super bummed, but other parents assured me we got off easy as it was a loooong night. There just could be nothing cuter than seeing a six year old toothless Kate walk across the stage in cap and gown. On the bright side, her teacher did send me photos taken a couple days before the contamination - and they are as darling as I imagined.

Speaking of activities, I have started an emergency cheat sheet for when mine and their imaginations start to wane. I tried one out this weekend and it had them busy for hours. Provide them with craft supplies when playing with Play Doh. If any moms are in need of more, text me, I've got lists and sites bookmarked.

It's a bug.

Now it's a mosquito. Hours of fun.

It's a bejewelled Kate.

A few weeks ago the kids were in a Fraggle phase. I have collected a few Fraggle puppets for them over the year, because I was a big fan of them and all Jim Henson's inventions. It turns out they love them too (certainly more than Jem and the Holograms). Anyway, I wanted to share a few of the portraits they have done.
