Quick- snap a picture! February 27, 2007

This photo was entirely staged. Our children do not enjoy sledding. It took major cajoling to get them into the sled to take this picture. I had to promise not to move it. Elijah would rather walk around in the crater-filled snow for hours on end. Sadie would like only to be carried- all the while saying, “I think we should go in the house now.” When Chris said to her, “so I hear you’re quite a sledder-”, she quickly and most emphatically replied, “I amn’t!”

What’s it take to get a drink around here? February 27, 2007

Who knew getting a drink could be so challenging? The water fountain at the Bedford Library proved to be very amusing. We were there for a music/puppet presentation but, unfortunately, the best part of this particular visit was the water fountain. Elijah got a very wet face and thought this was a hysterical way to quench one’s thirst! See video of fountain antics at www.youtube.com (use your e-mail with permission).

Snow Fun! February 25, 2007

Sickly Sadie :( February 25, 2007

Poor Sadie. We’re being inducted into the life of having children out in the world with germs. Sadie got chest cold at the end of last week and is just working through it now. So far the rest of us are OK. Usually she’s the toughest of us…

Parachute Play February 22, 2007

The Boys and Girls Club of Nashua, NH.

The kids playing parachute in the gym with friends from our unschool group as well as other homeschoolers in the community. They loved making the ‘mushroom’ and then climbing underneath. Then they wait for the parachute to deflate on them and start again!

Sadie makes Valentines in the nude. Elijah opts for jammies this morning.

Livingston Park in February February 18, 2007

The playground in boots and

snowsuits was interesting. It

was too enticing a view from

the ice to resist.

February 18, 2007

We decided to try ice “skating.”

Sadie on ice February 18, 2007

Sadie thought the ice was nothing but treacherous. Can we go to the playground now?
