First wave
Sam gave me a definite little wave on my way to work this morning. The bonding has begun.
Year: 2009
First day back
. . . at work. Three months parental leave is over and it’s back to the daily grind.
Belly buttons are for
We’re in the car and quizzing Hazel: What are your legs for? Walking! What is your nose for? Bleeding! What is your belly button for? Lint!
- Those Darned Squirrels
Old Man Fookwire is a grump who only likes to paint pictures of birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely. So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful birdfeeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates-until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that charms the old grump.My take: How can you not like a book where you get to say Googlie Mooglie, raise your fist and yell “Those darned squirrels”?
