Week in Review

 Such fun - the Big Sort following Halloween candy-collecting...

Sebastian is Cora's personal heater at bedtime. He nearly always spends his nights on her bed.

Now that it's cooler, we're enjoying taking the girls out on their bikes. We went to Granary Square on Saturday morning, and Violet proudly rode there and back. 

She is doing so well on her bike now! That's what happens when you're 4 1/2.

(She is telling everyone she meets that she is now 4 1/2. Along with riding her bike, she also is enjoying spelling and writing, and she's learning to pump on the swing, too. And she's hit the half-year disobedience/testing period, too, sadly.)

Speaking of letters, in a parking lot the other day, she shouted, "X! And a T!"
What was she talking about? The way the lane markings came together, of course. Clever girl.

We also had our little friend Melanie with us the other morning, and we made a trip to Petsmart.

It's a great errand to run with children, with cats, birds, fish, reptiles and rodents on display. Here, Melanie and Violet say hello to a chinchilla.
